I tried to make a Plott Hound pup in to a house dog once. In that setting it was the dumbest animal I’ve ever seen. Or maybe I was the dumb one for trying.
We have a young male Plott right now, who is the sweetest boy EVER - but not all that bright, and kind of a dick to other dogs. He’s just a big DOOFUS. He’s only 9 months old, so he’ll outgrow some of it, and learn a few Life Lessons along the way. ;) A friend who has a male pup from this same litter says the same about his male.
And he’s just HUGE! Stop growing, already, LOL! He is beautiful, though. A deep chocolate brown brindle. We also have another male Plott that is a maltese (gray) brindle. Again, sweet as can be, but dumb as a stump. Good bear dog, though.
Today Beau and Oneida are out chasing around coyotes in fresh snow.
But, as a house dog? Um...Nope, LOL!
