Title: plott ? Post by: cjordan on May 22, 2011, 04:21:32 pm Now I dont know near as much about dog breeds as I would like to, yet. I was wondering if someone could explain what a plott is? I was thinking it was a mix of some differant curs but what im seeing on here they are not cur, am I right or wrong? Thanks for clearing this up for me.
Title: Re: plott ? Post by: Randy_P on May 22, 2011, 04:28:39 pm More of a mix of hounds that someone bred together to create the plott breed. (thats the short answer, there was much more to the story about how the breed was created that Im sure can be found by googling plott hound origin)

Title: Re: plott ? Post by: leonidas on May 22, 2011, 08:23:08 pm In 1750, two brothers called Plott left Germany to live in America. They took five Hanoverian Hounds with them. One brother, Jonathon Plott, settled in North Carolina with his five dogs. In North Carolina he bred his five Hanoverian Hounds with bloodhounds and other mixed breed dogs. The new breed of dogs was called the Plott hound. These dogs were used for hunting
