About Hunter

While we don't know for sure that Hunter is a Plott Hound, he certainly does look like he is. His brindle color makes him a bit unusual in the hound world. He certainly sounds like a hound and has ears typical of a scent hound. However, he is sleeker and less blocky looking than most hounds we see. He just looks like a typical Plott Hound. He was immediately friendly upon meeting our volunteers when we visited him at his temporary home where he shared a kennel with two other dogs. In spite of having shared a kennel with other dogs we have learned that he guards his possessions with others. Highly prized items, like rawhides, should not be offered if there are other dogs around. Otherwise, he is our go-to dog if we are looking for a large playmate for another dog. He was relinquished to us because the individuals who had saved him from being abandoned in a hot trailer by an acquaintance had several dogs already. Hunter does not do well with young children. Teenagers will probably be acceptable to him but we are convinced that he does not understand small children and should not share a home with them. They don't seem to understand not invading his space and he does not easily tolerate that disrespect. We have learned that he is very affectionate with adults and makes a loving companion for young adults and older.
