>>>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

>>>I'm okay with this, I like the dogs and the way they

>>>I think I am even going to try some of the blood that

>I do believe there are 100% Leopards.I'm not going to say who I think has them and who doesn't because it really don't matter.I do believe that Plotts had a heavy influence on the Leopards and all other Cur breeds.I also believe that there were Leopard spotted dogs crossed onto the Plotts because almost all Plott guys will say this.I also believe coming up through the years people have mixed a few more breeds in there which is fine and some that shouldn't have been put into them.Most Leopards I see today are pretty good looking Leopards but there are some that should have never been registered.If we don't come up with a few different breed standards and go by them then I don't believe will ever grow as a Association or Registry.If it was up to me I would want Randy oller and Rex Laker to come up with the breed standards.What ever they both agree on is what the standards should be.Both these guys have been around Leopards a long time and they know what one should look like.I'm going to try to think of some ways to come up with ways to raise money for the colored year book.There to nice to not have them so if anyone else has any ideas let me know.These are just my opinions.Jason
