| Notes | ||
The Plott Hound is a large scent hound, specifically a coonhound, originally bred for hunting boar.
The Plott brothers brought their dogs with them from Germany to the United States. They bred the dogs with neighboring dogs until they obtained the dogs they desired. Later, their neighbors referred to the type of dog as a "Plott," named after the brothers.
