Subject: Article in Full Cry

Please read the article on page 43 in the June 07 issue of Full Cry. Notice the picture at the top of the page of Bill and George Plott and some of their dogs. At least two of them are leopard spotted and a few look almost solid black. I wonder if there was any leopards bred into the plotts or vice versa. On page 47 they talk about the leopard infusion into the plotts. Do you fellas really beleive that the leopards really came to the deep south by the earliest settlers. According to the general information book on the american leopard cur, "history records that Hernando DeSoto, the Spanish Conquistador brought war dogs to this country in 1542. These war dogs were of the same color and conformity as the present day Leopard Cur."
I am more in the opinion that after Nimrod was found running fox or whatever somewhere in Texas or Mexico, different articles say one place and some article say others, that he was probably bred to a black and tan hound or a plott or something. Hence the American Leopard Cur!
Face it fellas, I don't think this is any kind of an original breed. The leopards have been influenced by catahoulas, hounds, moutain curs, probably border collies and definitely farm shepards, stephen curs and evidently black diamond curs, whatever they are. I have heard more than just a few people say that we are just hunting mutts with a lot of different blood in them.
I'm okay with this, I like the dogs and the way they hunt.
I think I am even going to try some of the blood that Jug was out of. I think the hound and cur influence may help our present day leopards. I don't have a problem with any dog that I know of that is now registered in the leopard cur breed. There are some that I don't like the looks of, but if someone else likes it that's fine with me. Registration papers are only as honest as the people who are registering the dogs and that is true in every registry. So, does anyone think there is such a thing as a 100% leopard cur?
