The Plott Hound is a strong, muscular dog known for its determination and exceptional tracking ability. Originally bred in the United States for hunting boar, this breed is highly energetic, intelligent, and has a keen sense of smell. Plott Hounds are loyal and protective, making them excellent working dogs and guard dogs. While they are independent and have a strong prey drive, they are also affectionate with their families and can be good with children when properly socialized. They require plenty of exercise, including vigorous outdoor activities, to stay happy and healthy. Their short coat is easy to maintain, though they thrive in active households where they can be given a job to do.
