100% Got the papers. Seen the parents. This dog is of an old time blood line. Curs were around before the plotts so there is a good chance the plotts have cur blood in them. I need to do some more research so I can answer these questions. I know CasB knows more about plotts than I ever will. Hopefully he can shed some light.

I am just playin dude, I know it is not a Plott, I have Plotts. I have been hunting them for a few years...BTW when I said they are awesome looking, I was talking about your curs. I like the mostly white one best, but I prefer my dogs to be open mouthed on track, so I'll stick with my hounds.

My dad has a good plott. Dad and I get in heated discussions over this.

I don't know enough about the history of either breed to put up a good arguement but we still do. No harm in that. I am partial to the curs though. Everyone's got there preference. By the way my curs are wide open on cats. One is open on coon the other partially. I don't think the new one will bark much but that is to be seen. I do like to hear a chase.

The Plotts started out being called Plott Curs. Then they started registering them as hounds. Much like they are doing to the Leopard Cur now. They have two registries. One for Leopard Cur and one for Leopard Hound.

Some historians write that the Plott was derived from 3 breeds...one being a Cur..

The Plott family used a mix of Bloodhounds, Blevins hounds and Curs to create the Plott Hound of today. This is the only coonhound that does not descend from English foxhounds.

Thanks for the info, now I just have to get my dad to read this.

Thanks,
Thought it looked like it had some Busher in it.

They did that to make a superior dog.
