Got a pup recently from our local rescue place (here in Vermont but the dog is from Mississippi) - and had been thinking that she’s mostly Lab…but the more we observe “Lena,” (a very sweet doggie!) the more we see some un-lab-like characteristics (looks very lab-like in this photo, but when we watch her we’re still not sure):
Pursuing this further, we think that she may be part “Plott Hound,” a breed which neither myself nor my wife had ever heard of.
Looking further into this breed…Plott Hounds are apparently very rare, even though they are North Carolina’s “state dog.” Plotts are supposed to be very intelligent, loyal, and basically good natured, but also pretty high energy.
At any rate, while we are waiting on the results of the “Embark” DNA test to get back to us - I’m just curious if anyone here has any experience with this particular breed of dog?
