HISTORY OF THE PLOTT HOUND | Waynesville, NC

[anjelfliye]

Plott hounds are amazing dogs to own. Couple key things to happy ownership. They are usually a "pack" dog they will seem unsettled at home if they don't have another k-9 of comprable size strength and stamina. They are willful so you must demonstrate in a non aggressive manner that what you say and do is law. They will test your ability to be the alpha periodically through stubbornness as a behavior. This breed does not respond to aggressive owners who raise their voices or try to intimidate them. Remember it's very well documented that this breed is bred to track and hunt black bears that can weigh up to 300 lbs and boar weighing close to the same amount. They will not cower or submit to your aggression they will stand their ground. Their ability to retain episodic memories good and bad is very strong. They are highly intelligent you can test this simply by using simple commands and hand gestures when beginning training at home. It's creepy how quickly they comprehend what you're requesting them to do. That being said this breed will seek an abundance of love and affection from you their owner on a daily basis. They will protect and alertly guard the immediate area of wherever their master is. They are not dog or cat aggressive once properly introduced. This is an athletic dog with very powerful muscles. They require high quality proteins, omega 3s and omega 6s. This breed will win your heart over indefinately.

Got (I think), a pure plott. Found him in a shelter round Jax FL. He's docked so I imagine he had a family but got lost round 4 months. Best dog I ever experienced. Cool to see it's history.

A man in eastern North Carolina has a Plott, best deer hunting hound I’ve ever seen, my brown beagle would strike, and he would chase the buck and never lose the scent saw a big buck jump in the river and swam 20 yards along the bank, and jumped back up on the swamp land, the dog jumped in the river and followed the scent on the water, and jumped up and was on the run, so exciting to watch that dog hunt, Gunneck, Nc 1997
