Dinah Shore was rescued from a hoarding/neglect situation along with 22 other dogs. This sweet little girl is a little underweight and in need of some TLC before going into a furever home.
Here is what Dinah;s foster mom has to say about her:
• Appearance She is a light brindle and weighs approx. 25 lbs.
• Energy Level She has a low to moderate energy level.
• Food She is eating dry grain free food.
• Adaptability She seems to adapt to any situation. When I brought her home I immediately gave her a bath and used a blow dryer on her and although the blow dryer was not her favorite thing she did great.
• Behaviors I have not seen any bad habits. She is still coming out of her shell but she is absolutely the sweetest dog I have ever seen.
• Human Social Skills She is very friendly. She may be just a little cautious initially but that passes within five minutes. She is just a delight to be around.
• Animal Social Skills She allows other dogs of all sizes to approach her and exhibits no aggression. Once they sniff her then she will interact with them.
• Obedience I have not had her long enough to work on obedience yet. She does walk well on a leash.
• Training She is crate trained.
• Personality Quirks Dinah is just so sweet with people and with dogs.
• Ideal Home She would be great in almost any situation as she just wants to please. She is not needy or aggressive and she just wants to follow you around. She would do well with children or adults.
According to www.dogbreedinfo.com, the Plott Hound is a medium-sized, muscular dog that is soundly put-together. The short, glossy, dense coat usually comes in brindle but also comes in slate blue and buckskin; many with black saddles. It has a long, high-held tail when the dog is alert. The large, long ears are characteristic of the breed. The thigh muscles are lean and powerful giving it lots of energy. The strong feet have webbed toes. The Plott Hound is the only American hound without British ancestry. The breed's designated name honors its American founders and family tree. Seven generations of the Jonathan Plott family, beginning in the 1750's, bred their dogs exclusively within the family. A mix of bloodhounds and curs reportedly comprised the original stock. The dog's working claim to fame is coldtrailing bear and raccoons in the Appalachian, Blue Ridge, and Great Smoky Mountains of the Eastern United States. The Plott Hound is American through and through. The Plotts family have only rarely put these dogs on the market; so while the breed was officially recognized in 1946, it is still rare outside the southern states. Its is most efficient in the search for coyotes, wolves, and wildcats. They are extremely hardy and have superior hunting instincts. The breed has been carefully developed to be stronger and more persistent. They can make a good family companion but are seldom kept as one. Most people get these dogs for the hunt. The breed's "all-in-the-family" background makes it a fine companion. Loyal and intelligent, the Plott Hound is quick to learn and quick to love and is good with children. Their personable natures are surely not evident on the trail. This large game hunter and scenthound has great courage. Determined, courageous and proud, it will play chicken with a 500-pound papa bear or a ticked off boar. The Plott has a curiously sharp and high-pitched voice, unlike the deep-throated howl common to other coonhounds. Socialize this breed at an early age and be sure to teach it simple obedience like walking on a leash. This breed tends to drool and slobber. The Plott Hound is considered the hardiest of the coonhounds. This breed has no road sense at all and should be kept in a safe area becase they have a tendency to wander. They have a life expectancy of 12-14 years.
