FireStation46 Posted August 26, 2013 Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 Meine deutschen Plott Hound Thee Plott Hound is the only American hound without British ancestry. In 1750 Jonathan Plott and his brother left Germany bound for America. They took with them five Hanoverian Hounds. Jonathan Plott's brother died during the trip but Jonathan settled in North Carolina. It was there that he raised a family and bred his dogs. A mix of Bloodhounds and Curs reportedly comprised the original stock. For the next 200 years the dogs were bred by generations of Plott family members and were referred to as the Plott's hounds. The dogs worked at hunting bear and raccoon in the Appalachian, Blue Ridge and Great Smoky Mountains of the eastern United States. The Plott family rarely put the dogs on the market so they remained rare outside the southern United States. The dogs were recognized for the first time in 1946 by the United Kennel Club. Plotts are hardy and have superior hunting instincts. They are very effective in the search for coyotes, wolves and wildcats. The breed was carefully developed to be stronger and more persistent. They were able to make good family companions but were seldom kept as such, as most owners acquired the dogs for the hunt. In 2006 the breed was officially recognized by the AKC as the "Plott" and is now shown as a show dog, but there are many who still hunt and breed them as hunting dogs.

RangerClay Posted August 26, 2013 Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 Here is our English Setter Lucy. After our golden passed away we we've been looking for another dog. Last July we had the deal of a lifetime drop into our laps. Her father is a 3 time field trial champion from the famous Grouse Ridge Kennels and he got it on with another setter that had no papers. To the breeder the pups were worthless since they did not have papers. So I got her for $25!! Now I'm trying to learn how to trail a bird dog. Wish I knew what I was doing, she has so much talent. Lucy at 5 months old in July. Lucy in early August watching pigeons at my parents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
