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 Plotts 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 at this time are used not
only for big game hunts, but also by many pleasure hunters in their pursuit of
small game such as Raccoons. 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, and the only hound out of the
six known to have not been bred with a foxhond.
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).
In 2008, the Plott Hound, plus three other breeds, competed for the first time in
the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show.
