State dog of North Carolina, the Plott Hound<br />
Originally from Germany, in 1750 Johannes<br />
“George” Plott emigrated to the English<br />
colony of North Carolina. He brought a few<br />
wild boar hounds (five Hanoverian Hounds)<br />
with him. George and his wife Margaret with<br />
their family settled in the mountains of<br />
western North Carolina. Though there is no<br />
evidence that George ever came to western<br />
North Carolina, his son Henry settled there<br />
around 1801 to 1810 and was responsible for<br />
the Plott hound legend of an incredible big<br />
game dog.<br />
