Allie has worked in the field of animal welfare for over ten years and as a freelance writer the space for many years. She has had many different kinds of dogs throughout her life—all adopted. She currently shares her home with a lovable pit bull mix named Huckleberry. Once you identify a potential Plott Hound breeder, make an appointment to visit the Plott Hound kennels or facility in person.
They are nearly always brindle with a black saddle marking on their back. Plott Hounds are extremely loving and loyal to their families. Socialize and properly supervise them and they can coexist peacefully with children and other pets.
It’s best to never buy a Plott dog for sale through an internet website or from a pet store. You could get scammed and you could inadvertently support a questionable breeder or a puppy mill. Plott Hounds will defend their owners from perceived threats. And early socialization is imperative to prevent this trait from getting out of hand.
Many of these sweet and beautiful dogs are in dire need of immediate rescue to avoid euthanasia. There are also rescue groups that specialize in helping Plott Hounds. You can set up notifications that will alert you when new Plott Hounds become available for adoption in your area. Like all dogs, Plott Hounds should visit the vet once a year for a checkup and vaccinations.
