BTT for that. I think the Plott is the NC state dog(?).

The AKC has always frowned on the 'real' working dogs. However, the UKC acknowledges almost all of the Hounds. In the future, they might start covering the curs and feist.

A friend of mine (on the N.C./Tennessee border) raises Plotts, from the original George Plott line. These are some fine hounds, and she sells/ships them worldwide.

I know others that swear by black and tans, and a Walker enthusiast cannot be swayed.

My friends hunt both bear and 'coons with their hounds.

I have a great photo of some hounds running halfway up a tree after a coon in a field trial. If someone can tell me how I'll post these.
