Plott Hound

And, and I finally, I told my, my dad one time that I was gonna raise and train all the breeds that I could, and, uh, so maybe one day I could, you know, help somebody out with something or realize which breed I like the best.

So I wound up hunting all of them except for the Plott.

And I didn't never have a Plott, so I wound up raising and training quite a few different dogs.

Uh, I've had Redbones, I've had the Blue Tick and the English and black and tan and the Walker dogs.

Uh, I've had a couple of Leopard dogs back in the day, you know, which, uh, and hunted them for a while.

I've got a big dog.

He's part pit, part Plott Hound.

You know, I would choose to live in my car with him before I'd choose to get rid of him.

Joe witnessed this impossible choice when he worked as Oakland's homelessness administrator back in twenty eighteen.

Or let me rephrase that.

If it's a good spitz dog, it will actively work to stop the game, while a Catahoula, a Bluetick, uh, and even Plott Hounds, in our views, will obviously bay a game, but they will be as happy to drive the game by just running the tracks.

Like, there are not that many hounds, at least here, that actively try to get in front of the game to make them stop.

Or with, as Kylo did, like, nip the-

Exactly, yeah.

So, so that's, that's how we differenced, like, the baying dogs to a driving dog.

Now, I know Plott Hounds, Catahoulas are viewed as baying dog breeds, at least for a lot of guys in America.

Yeah.

Go ahead

... what kind of coon dog was you hunting? Was it a Plott or a Walker dog, or?

Oh, it was a Walker dog.

It was a, it was a Walker dog.
