Plott
A trail hunter at heart, this dog makes a good family pet but may not be interested in meeting other dogs. It can be headstrong.
Breed Overview
These cold-trailing, bear, boar, and raccoon hunting hounds originated in the United States in 1750. They are friendly, relaxed, athletic, eager to please, and are extremely loyal. They are wary of strangers but make very good watchdogs and protectors. Daily exercise either involving a hunting game, swimming, or a long walk is great for these hounds. They are ideal for outdoor enthusiasts, active singles, and families with older children. Grooming care for their coats is very minimal.
