Abstract:

The Plott hound is North Carolina’s official state dog, and recognized as a premier hunting dog. This article provides the history of how the dog breed became established in North Carolina and gained popularity among hunters. The history begins with the two German immigrant brothers, Johannes and Enoch Plott, who brought five of their best hunting dogs to America in 1750.
