About this episode

Ben Sheets interviews John Jackson, a leading expert on the Plott Breed, discussing its history and significance.

In this week's episode I am joined by John Jackson. John has spent his lifetime collecting information about the Plott Breed. Not only is he a leading expert on the breed he bred, raised and hunted them for just as long. We talk about how he got his start in the breed and how he met Taylor Crockett. He became a student of Mr. Crockett. They travelled many miles together and spoke to numerous mountain families about the old brindle bear dogs. John has an extensive collection of Plott history that will hopefully be preserved for generations to come!
