Description
Dog Breed: Plott Hound (short coat). Update on Mason! Mason is currently in FOBCAS foster care. Mason’s foster Mom says he is doing great! “Mason was really skiddish at first, didn’t want to walk in the house, wouldn’t move off the couch, etc. but in the last couple days he’s really warmed up. He now walks all around the house and plays with one of my dogs. He walks around the fenced area by himself and comes up to the door when he’s ready to come back inside. He loves the kids and is always wagging his tail when they’re around/petting him. He also loves to cuddle and be close when we’re laying down.” Mason is learning what it’s like to be a house dog now. We imagine he was discarded because he does not want to hunt. Mason is going to be an amazing addition to some lucky family. For more information please email us at fobcasfriendsgmail.

Overview:
The Plott Hound is a rugged, intelligent breed originating from the mountains of North Carolina, primarily bred for hunting large game like bear and wild boar. Known for their striking brindle coat, which can range from light tan to dark black, they are a medium-to-large dog with a muscular build, powerful legs, and a distinctive deep, resonant bay. Temperamentally, Plotts are loyal, courageous, and generally good-natured, displaying an affectionate side with their families. While they can be excellent companions for active families, their high energy levels and strong prey drive mean they require considerable exercise and secure containment. They are generally not well-suited for apartment living due to their need for space and propensity to vocalize. Health-wise, Plotts are a relatively hardy breed, though like many large dogs, they can be prone to hip and elbow dysplasia, bloat, and eye conditions. Regular veterinary check-ups and a balanced diet are crucial for maintaining their well-being.
