I can definitely see advantages to the pointers. It almost always comes down to preference. The plott guys usually want to hear the mouth so that’s one incentive for having them or using them for crossing. I would say another is consistency. The pointers that work are nice but there are a lot of them that won’t take to hogs and there are a lot that will but won’t reproduce puppies that consistently do. You may have half a litter that will and half that won’t. Some people can afford to keep a whole litter to weed through them but most can’t afford it or don’t have the room for it. I’ve also seen a few pointers that would take to hogs but literally not bark, just stare and more or less point. It’s hard to always know they’ve located and even harder to get other dogs to them to bay. So one breed can be really loud and the other silent to the extreme. Both breeds have noses and motors. I see the pluses and the minuses of each. I’d say hog dogs are probably the most diverse group of dogs out there simply because there are so many styles and methods to hunt and it just boils down to individual preferences. I don’t think there’s a right or a wrong just what makes the person buying the feed happy. Ernie definitely has found a niche. I was always fond of his old cat males looks. I thought he was a pretty rascal.
