Thanks to Kristen Jones for teaching me this German, by the way. My friend, Maggie, found this article about Plott hounds, and the dog show. This is the first year that Plott hounds were shown at the annual dog show. Although this article is very biased and very adamant that a Plottie would never win, we (and I am sure that many other Plott hound owners agree)wholeheartedly disagree! For that matter, any REAL dog would never win the award, only dogs that were bred and raised to be show dogs ever have a real chance. But we think that Josie or Tula have a fair chance of winning best in show, but we are proud parents. :)
This article also goes on to say that they were first bred in Germany to be boar hunters, and they are one of the toughest dogs there are. The reason they would never win, is that they would be covered with scratches from being super tough pupper dogs.
I also feel that Tula is a very tough pup, and believe we are in good hands if we were all face to face with a bear/boar. As long as the bear/boar is not vacuuming, carrying a rolled up magazine, or carrying a full kitchen garbage bag, Tula won't be afraid!
