i have seen good and bad in all breeds but perfer plotts
Don't have any bear dogs, but I do know dogs and have probably killed more bears than most folks on this board, and judging by your profile pic, you aint chasing anything over any mtns.
What makes you such an expert? How many REAL LIVE bears you treed this yr?Easy pal...... You say you don't have bear dogs but have killed more bear than most folks on here..... That may be true but again.... The guy plainly asks what's the best type of hound for BEAR HUNTING!!! I suggest you don't open your mouth unless you know what your talkin about.... Thanks.

Rocket41, that is a good year in any mans book......Especially with such a short season........I've run the North River area with the Browns, Jeb and Zeb, and really enjoy that area. Tell the Brown's from Coker Creek TN I said "hey' if you see em'........They have some fine Plott bear and hog dogs.......

Well the best type is still walker hounds. That's why Walkers are used in almost every lion and bear camp in the west, northeast, and canada.
I'd say it depends on the type of bear and the location you are hunting. If your hunting Brown Bear in Alaska or Russia, I would say Alaskan Malamutes for their strength, endurance and great warm coats. If you are in the Georgia mountains in the USA, I might go with the Catahoulas or Rhodesian Ridgebacks and possibly Argentina Dogos.
Plotts are too ugly and mean for me. Check out what most of the western bear guides run....the guys who run bears for a living 4+ months of the year. Most are walkers with some blueticks thrown in.
It's a dumb argument. Everybody has a different opinion, but I bet if you took a poll of every houndsman in the country, walkers would get more than 50 percent of the vote.
