That BMC / RB is gorgeous. I woudn't kick a BMC / Plott cross out of the mix either !
Smart man^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ My mtn Cur actually has a tich of Plott in her. Some of the hound hunters up here run Bear with Plotts......the little bit they lack in nose they more than make up for in heart. I thought the brindling may speak to Plottish lines in your pup. Very hard to beat a big male Plott for most things gritty indeed. Agreed........I love love Plotts but they run to hard and fast for my old bones....  Course the same can be said for most tree dogs these days so I muddle along with an old worn out mtn Cur.

A friend in MT's BMC/Red Bone.....tail or no tail NO Coyote want's to tangle with this guy. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/XcnoY3ul.jpg) We had a stub-tailed BMC bitch that was built stocky like this. She went about 75lbs and would bite anybody or anything that wasn’t family. Huge prey-drive on that dog, and good dog-sense. A go-getter for sure.
Now with even more aplomb

given the advance of the coyote issue, and small farmers with small animals such as goats, chickens, rabbits, etc.
somebody (besides me?) could probably make a good life breeding a special farm dog.
it'd take some amount of discussion and trial & error. great pyrenees, cur-dogs, hounds.
maybe anotolian shepherds, rottweilers, airedales. i don't know. it would take breeding.
on the side they could develop a method to breed some really good looking mules.
white mules, black mules, red mules, but they all would need to be pretty mules.
i can see the sign now: Pretty Mules and Farm Dogs for sale at good prices.
maybe some side items like corn juice/apple juice. peaches, xmas trees, pumpkins.
some say the BMC are pretty much perfected as they are. maybe they could be more heavy??

i know my old Airedale vs coyote, Airedale had blood on him that wasn't his, found what was left of the coyote in the backyard.
