Visitors to PlottDogs.Com have a great opportunity to support the Plott breed and to preserve its colorful history for posterity in a most amazing way.
Western Carolina University has announced that a special Plott exhibit is now being developed and will debut this fall at the Western Carolina Mountain Heritage Center in Cullowhee, NC. The exhibit will showcase our breed as the world’s premier big game dog with emphasis on its rich history in the State of North Carolina, the birthplace of the breed.
PlottDogs.Com is supporting the effort by providing photographs to be used in the exhibit and the accompanying promotional materials. Visitors to PlottDogs.Com are urged to submit high resolution photos of Plotts on big game for use in the exhibit. Photos may be sent via email to: dogstar118@aol.com or you may mail them to Steve Fielder, 1932-202 Hidden Knoll Place, Raleigh, NC 27606. Include an addressed envelope if you wish the photos to be returned.
Donations in any amount are needed to assist in financing the exhibit. This project is being funded solely by Plott enthusiasts like you. The names of donors will appear on a panel at the opening of the exhibit. Many are making donations in memory of a deceased relative. What a wonderful way to memorialize someone that’s dear to you through this prestigious exhibit.
