The Plott Hound has a personable nature that helps it to become a good family dog. This hound is noted as being the hardiest of all coonhounds and is fearless on the hunt. They demand a great amount of exercise and are not recommended for apartment life. They prefer the outdoors to the indoors. When outside they need to be confined to stop them from following new scents. Once on the scent they pay very little attention to anything else. Easy to groom but check ears on a regular basis.
