Abstract:
Johannes Plott came to America from Germany in 1750, eventually settling in New Bern, before moving on to Cabarrus County. He brought with him two Hanoverian-type Schweisshunds (bloodhounds) and soon became a dog breeder. The Plott hound is an intelligent, tenacious, fast, and versatile animal with a formidable reputation as a hunter. On August 12, 1989, the North Carolina General Assembly officially recognized the Plott hound, one of only four breeds started in the United States, as the State Dog.
