All Dog Breeds >>Temprament of Plott
The Plott is a working hound. He was originally a mountain breed, raised and trained to hunt large game such as bear and boar. Today, he is often used to tree raccoons. He has an incredibly loud bark, and he is not afraid to use it. Not only is he an aggressive, bold, and fearless hunter, he is also an excellent tracker.
He has an impressive sense of smell and will wander off following interesting scents, so he must be securely fenced in or on leash when he is outdoors. The Plott is intelligent, alert, and eager to please. He is incredibly athletic and fast, and needs daily exercise. He drools and slobbers.
