What do you think are the best plott sires

What do you think is the best plott sire?? I've been hearing a lot of good things about Pocahontas!!! what do you think

Look no further! Unlike a lot of things in life, with this one," YOU CAN BELIEVE WHAT YOU HEAR"!!

Take it easy!

There are several different good Plotts out there and Its mainly up to what are you looking for in a Plott hound...You plan to hunt big game or hunt coons, bobs, cats, etc?....Stick with the ones that have a proven track record and you might find what you are looking for...Perkey

Back to the top. PROVEN in every area.

You could find 100 different answers if this were a busier Plott site. Everybody has a different opinion.

I personally like the Pioneer (Brandenburger) bred dogs, and Jim Cannon bred dogs (Heat, Sarge, Joe Boy, etc.). The best luck I had was with a female bred by Rex Morgan in Iowa. She was owned by Ron Miller in Moline, IL. She was a track racing machine and an accurate tree dog at 14 months old.

I've hunted with several, several Pocahontas dogs. All I can say is from my experience. From what I've been told, they have been bred to be more big game hounds. The Pioneer dogs are bred for coon dogs. Its all what you want. I personally haven't been too impressed by Pocahontas dogs, but I may just be hunting with the wrong ones. I know the Grand Nite Black Ice is heavy Poc. bred. And there is Gene Walkers Gus who is a Grand Nite. I'm not counting them out as coon dogs, I just haven't been with many I was impressed with.

I was going hunting with Gene Walker this last year before Plott days, but, there was a bad storm that night and we couldn't hunt. He is one of the nicest guys you could meet. Dad went the next night with him and they treed some coon. Said Gene had a pretty nice little dog he was hunting, but I don't know what dog it was.

Good luck with whatever line you go with. I don't know much about them, but I know a little about a couple of lines. Just ones I have experience with. I want to get to hunt with others in the future to get a broader knowledge of Plott lines.

WOW!! thanks for that info!! will take that in to big consideration!! THANKS!!!

I agree with Irv about the Pocahontas dogs. They are the real deal. Gene and his wife Ann are 2 of the nicest people that you will ever meet. Before I got my first Pocahontas dog, I had several conversations with Gene, and he was always upfront and straight forward with me. I went from Wisconsin to West Virginia to pick up the first one, and I was so impressed with that dog, that I made another trip to pick up a second one.

If you are looking for a level headed , hard hunting , plott . Get a Pocahontas Plott.
I have a female out of Linus that just had a litter , Lizzy is makeing a good coondog. I will be getting another form Mr Walker you can bank on that

Don't over look Amos of Gary Miller and Jim Cannon, Jeff Koons Oakie, Kyle emery's Rock dog, Scott Rossens Cowboy. There are alot of good producing dogs out there.

Here's some pics of two Pocahontas bred plotts

she wasn't cooperating in this pic. She wanted to get down and run with the other dogs that were loose in the yard at the time.

Nice pics there j...Perkey

I'll preface this by saying the best sires are the ones who get the good females bred to them. As far as coondogs go right now, the only proven reproducer is Redwood Okie. Are there others out there, I am sure there are but they either don't have a bunch of pups on the ground to show what they can do, or they haven't been bred to enough yet. If you look at numbers of our top reproducing sires you'll see that just the low sheer number of pups isn't comparable to any other breed because it's so low. The most recent plott sire to be bred quite a bit was Heat.
