Plott Hound owners?

[skeeter]

I have a dog that looks very similar...we cannot figure out what she is either. We got her from the pound here in Pennsylvania and they had her listed as a terrier (pit bull I guess)/dalmation mix. Our vet suspects that she is a greyhound/ lab mix. That might make sense but she is only 40 lbs so those dogs would make her larger I would have thought. I have found info on plott hounds and it seems very siliar to her in personality and size but her ears and mouth are a little different. I don't know if we'll ever know what she is but we love her anyway
Here are some pictures of our girl:

Do Dalmations have double coats?

Ive read that some Plott Hounds do have double coats and that it isnt considered a fault.

The body for the Dutch shepherd is a bit thicker, and they dont hold their tails the same way Verde does. Ill try and see if there are any Dutch Shepherds in the area just in case.

Alot of rare breeds arent found in Alaska, so I am back to leaning towards a Greyhound/Pitbull mix, with something else to account for her double coat.

ETA: Skeeter, Verde gives me that same smirk in your second pic in post #8.

Yeah, Dalmatians do not have a double coat, just a sleek one!

Blue-I just love my girl-she gives the best looks and has a great personality! I was amazed how many of your pictures reminded me of her. Especially the last picture you have of Verde laying upside down. Ayla lays like that all the time when she is really happy or being silly
