Any lines of good plott hounds out there that are mostly silent dogs? Thinking about getting a pup but I'd prefer a closed mouth dog.

Some of my Plotts cold trail silent but if the hog breaks, they are pretty open. I prefer a dog that opens on a cold track myself but that is just me. Like to give those hogs warning on what is about to come. lol

I've seen one plot that I KNOW was full blood that was silent but to tell the truth I'm VERY skeptical of any "silent plotts."    Just about anything you breed to a plott will throw brindle dogs and I'm afraid a lot of dog that get called "plott" may not be as "plott" as we think.    Plotts are not silent by nature and although I have seen some, a line that produced a large percentage of silent plotts would cause me to raise and eyebrow a little.   I mean just think about it, what if I had a line of the coldest nosed BMC's you had ever seen but a large percentage opened on track?   We all know what each breeds characteristics are and when we see large numbers of dogs from any breeds preforming in a manner not consistent with what we expect it should not be unreasonable for us to have our doubts about the dogs.    As far as cross breeds goes, I have no problem with cross breeds and in fact some of my best dogs ever were cross bred but it drives me nuts to see someone advertising silent plotts and when the post a picture they have short ears and tight slick coats with white all over their feet.  I personally take it as an insult if someone tries to tell me something I know is incorrect and expects me to buy into it so good luck with you search for "silent plotts."   

By the way, I have never asked anyone but what is the rage with "silent plotts" anyway.  The one I had was average at best and at the time I had her I had 3 or 4 more that barked every breathe and bayed 10x as many hogs???

Very good reply Alvin!!

I would be willing to bet that there are more cur dogs that are open than there are plotts that are silent.  A true plott that is silent  probably learned to be silent...and that plot may decide to open on the next hunt.

As a dog hunter getting a hound with the main object to be silent you best off getting a cold nose cur. I don't mind a open dog if the dog is good I really don't see the big deal if it's little open the hog already knows the dog is on em

To each their own, but reminds me of a something my grandpa said about something else "I wouldn't get a tiger if I wanted spots". lol I thought it was funny when he said it but it still made his point.
