Okay, maybe more of an acquaintance than a friend, ’cause they just met, but Lucy makes fast friends…fast! So, this is Jubal, a Plott Hound and the state dog of North Carolina. Unlike her ancestors, she’s probably glad she’s not expected to hunt down bears and boars anymore. And who knew states had their own dogs? I did not. Had to check, though, and it just happens that Virginia’s state dog is the American Fox Hound. Lucy has some of the hound breed in her (Borzoi) and says she can hold her own with foxes just fine.

Wow, look at his eyes, so intelligent…. He looks like the same color as a tortoiseshell cat !
Yes, aren’t those eyes beautiful? Tortoiseshell…exactly!
That’s a pretty dog. Lucy sure does have a lot of friends. Such a popular girl she is.

Yeah, Jubal is a beauty. And Lucy should appreciate her friends more…Jubal wanted to play and the only playing that Lucy did was hard to get!
Lucy knows how to pick them. The cream of the crop. Deep, penetrating eyes.

I love those eyes, too, nothingprofound. They look so inquisitive…she was really intrigued by the camera.

She was very sweet, Jennifer. And she wanted to play, but Lucy is so lazy sometimes. I bet Nora’s not lazy!

I’ve never heard of a Plott Gound before. But I gurantee that I have seen many dogs where I live who resemble Jubal so closely that I wonder if they aren’t indeed Plott Hounds. The next time I see one I will ask the owner. May hour a LUcy have a wonderful weekend.
Hi tt. I’d never heard of one before either so had to google. I think I was thrown off by that brindle coat, which I’ve seen on other breeds. Thanks…hope you’re having a good weekend, too!
Never heard of a Plott Hound, but Jubal’s color pattern looks like a rorschach…

I’d never heard of one, either, drjay. About that color…it reminds me of chocolate chip cookie dough with melting chips. *sugar on the brain* Actually, I think that coat is described as brindle.

Looks like a good old friendly dog…I think she would find it fun to hunt down bears and polar bears until she got too close!
Hi, William, and thanks for stopping by. Yes, she is very friendly…not aggressive enough to hunt down bears, I think!
