There’s few bear hunters an cat hunters on fb

I would guess that's the boys out west.Search around Appalachian mtns smoky mtns.Those bear hunters would come down here once or twice a year.We had a 500 acre pen with a big mean boar and a 10 acre pen with a big mean boar.We had a lot of fun with them men.They always enjoyed the hogs more because of legging the hog.When you work with your dogs and trust them enough to leg a hog it makes you all tingly inside.

This was years ago and all illegal now.

Interesting breeds the plotts, like them alot. 

You say about the bull Russell hog dog 

Have you seen the oz foxy terriers vids on YouTube, they use them to hang off the snout

I will take a look thanks.a 100 lb hog can flip a terrier 15 ft in the air.Some will continue to go for the snout.From what I seen dogs in general are born with a style in hog hunting meaning they will gravitate to a certain part of the hog.Nothing you can do to change it.

Personally I believe that the American bulldog is a relatively new breed created by some brokedick rednecks who were to lazy to work.Just my opinion 

Are you saying that they did not arrive in the New World on the ships of the Founding Fathers?

[Rickshaw swami 4,102]

The founding fathers had foxhounds

Seriously though it's an interesting subject. I don't think many breeds have the direct ancient lineage that some believe, or would have us believe, but the 'types ' have been around for a long time.

Plott history is very secretive.Its like joining a secret society.Your a plottman or not.I have talked to a few who were close to plott family and there's no proof of bulldog blood Alot of curs and Feist squirrel dogs will be brindle and some of them are scared of a squirrel lol.In the pure lines of plott they will throw a buckskin every now and then. Plotts don't live to be old generally.Plottmen start the season with a dozen dogs.Sometimes they won't have but one by end of season but nothing gets away bear or hog.3 good bred plotts will stretch a medium sized black bear.But they will die for their efforts.Up until 10 years ago they had live bear baying competition in the Carolinas for plotts.Interesting breed to say the least.

Me old uncle bubba used a single whippet 4 that lark

The comments about the dogo Argentina were interesting they use them in Africa along with blue tick to hunt leopard and stripped hyena.

Gone a bit off topic.Lads from over here talking about dogs to hunt big game when we havnt got anything over here that you cant catch with a lurcher.

[keepdiggin 9,559]

Yeah downsouth I think your right

See this lads dog a lot,thought I would put him on this thread as owner says he’s very good guard,real steady no dramatics but always puts himself between his owner and anyone he doesn’t recognise.Only photo I have of him but he looks stunning from any angle if you like that sort of thing,a true athlete,55lbs and his movement is effortless,10/11 years old,never seen a dog go through gears with power of this one,good breeding I guess.
