Can anyone tell me what he was like? Hunting style, mouth, tree style, maybe a picture? See him in a lot of dogs papers. Always wondered what he was like.

He was a dark brindle, had a beautiful mouth, bawl on track, extremely hard chop on tree. No quit in him, a hard going dog. If a track got rough or cold he would pick out the biggest tree and blow the top out, saved us in a nite hunt many times. His mouth I would say was one of the most impressive things about him. English and walker men were always saying "man that Plott sure has a mouth on him". I wish I had another one just like him. He was a complete natural and that is what it takes for a dog to be outstanding. I recently talked to the ole Ozark boy that raised him and he told me how he would sit on the porch and watch him trail and tree by himself at seven months.

Jim,

Did you ever get Ranger collected? Sure would be nice to get another shot of ole Ranger.

If you're looking for some heavy Ranger bred stuff you need to talk to Jeremiah Johnson. His Millennium Magic Plotts go back heavy to Mister Candyman dog who was directly off Ranger.

Paul I never did get Ranger collected, paying for that mistake now. Jeremiah called not to long ago and we had a nice visit. That Candy man dog must have been nice, I think they lost him to a car when he was fairly young. See you at Plott Days.

Thank you very much. Just got my first plott and the Ranger dog is in there a few times. The Candyman dog too. He is a super smart good acting pup. Treed a barn cat while I was looking at the litter. Sat down on his but and spit them out too. He's a good looking pup too. If he has it I'll push him towards dual grand and run him on lion and bobcat in the winter. I guess he's what they call a saddleback. Brindle legs, chest, and face with a black back. Like I said he's my first plott and I'm excited to watch him progress. Thank you for the reply.

Hard tree dogs will miss one now and then. Ranger scored 900 plus three different times and those Walker boys sure don't plus up a Plott unless they have to.

Just looking over the papers on my cowboy up male and seen his grandad was ranger crossed with mansholds molly, and if ranger was accurate, intelligent and a Coondog through and through? Then it must be hereditary because this plott of mine is the best hound I've ever owned!
