plott hound
The Plott brothers brought their dogs with them from Germany to the United States. They bred the dogs on Plott Creek in what is now Haywood County, North Carolina until they obtained the dogs they desired. Later, their neighbors referred to the type of dog as a "Plott boar hunting dog," named after the brothers and in recognition that the Plott had bred arguably the best boar hounds in the world. The Plott Hound breed originated in the mountains of North Carolina around 1750 and is the only breed known to have originated in this State. Named for Jonathan Plott who developed the breed as a wild boar hound and bear hound, the Plott Hound is a legendary hunting dog. Plott Hounds are known to be courageous fighters and tenacious trackers, but they are also gentle and extremely loyal. The Plott Hound is very quick of foot with excellent treeing instincts and has always been a favorite of big-game hunters. The Plott Hound has a brindle-colored coat and a bugle-like call. It is also one of only four breeds known to be of American origin. The Plott Hound was officially adopted as the North Carolina State Dog on August 12, 1989. (Session Laws of North Carolina, 1989, c. 773; G.S. 145-13).
The Plott Hound is a large scent hound, specifically a coonhound, originally bred for hunting boar.
