Two years ago I had three treeing walkers that I loved. They covered lots of ground, hunted hard, and could smoke a track. I got it done with those three. Havnt hunted behind many hounds but the ones I hav hunted with were walker. I still like cur dogs the best but if I had to choose a hound it would be walker. I do hav a half plott pup that was given to me that's turning out to be pretty good....

in my life we have had many types of hunting dogs, the plotts we have are by far the best in nearly every way. But we have had some good blues but they bark to much for me but other than that they were great. the american bulldog I have now is top notch as well so for me it is plotts and ab's.

I know there are good and bad in all breeds, but as a whole I would have to go with any of the foxhound / running breeds over a tree bred dog any day.

I've heard that Vaughn and Henry plott would not refer to plotts as hounds. But I think plotts are more consistent

that is true lapdog when i was a young man plotts were cur dogs then a select FEW in the breed decided they should be hounds and started breeding for the more houndy traits we see today just goes to show what can happen to a breed of dogs in as little as 40 years or so

running hound bred to catch and kill coyotes bred back to a gritty mtn cur...might be open but wouldn't matter...if you like catching hogs...

I say plott because thats my personal preference and what I hunt.
BUT.....its not so much the breed as the individual dog. Ive owned them all, and seen good and bad in all of them.
Just pick the color you like best, then research lines with the traits that suit your style of hunting, and go from there. Keep the ones that work and cull the ones that don't.
but I will say stay with big game bred hounds, top and bottom.

It all depends on what you like. Do you want a hard hunting, hot nosed hound such as the running walker, trig, and july or do you want a colder nosed dog like the plott, blue/red tick & redbone. You just have to find the dog that suits you and your terrain.
