Adopted mine in Florida. Best dog I've ever had. She's extremely intelligent

I happened to find a purebred carolina puppy at the SPCA. Was easily only 8-10 weeks old. They said they found her wandering around. She stole my heart, and I took her home. I've had a lot of dogs of different breeds, and she is by far the best I've ever had. If you ever managed to find one for sale or adoption, I highly recommend it.

Husband and I have a carolina dog we rescued about a year ago. Her name is Rosie and she's an amazing dog. Found on Bull Gap Mountain between Talledega and Clay Counties, AL

I met my first Carolina dog yesterday. Daisy is a very wonderful dog who is 11 years old. She reminds me another dog that i had several years ago.😇😇

We found our dog 2 years ago at the pound, her name is Gracie, and we just realized that she is a Carolina Dog, and she is the best dog we have ever had. That wild side can be a pain though.

Never knew for sure what kind of dog I had until now. The vet didn't even know. The best dog I ever had. Had her for 12 years and lost her three years ago. I still morn. Crying as I'm watching this video. Her face, her mannerisms, seems everything just like yours. The absolute best family dogs. Easy to train. She really trained herself to our lifestyle. Extremely lovable. She loved my stepfather and he would come visit every few years, she would remember him when seeing him walk up and get so excited..... great memory for sure.

There used to be a large pack these dogs in Eastern North Carolina, in East Wake county on a dirt road called Pulley Town road. The poor families that lived on that road use to catch them and keep ‘em for pets. As a kid I once witnessed this pack take out two deer that was sprinting across a cow pasture that flanked a marsh area. To this day those dogs or descendants of that pack are still there.

I had the sweetest dingo named Zelda. I was able to rescue her from what I can guess was an abusive home due to how afraid she was of people for several months after I got her. I was so glad that I was able to give her several years of the 'good' life before she passed. Next time I get a dog it will definitely be another dingo... Best dogs in the world.

They are SUPER smart

My first dog Lacy was a Carolina dog, those were the best 14 years we had her in our family.

We had the most beautiful Carolina Dog "Tess" until two months ago. She came from a pound in Greenville South Carolina and was adopted by us at North Shore Animal League in Long Island, NY. She lived for over 14 years and eight months, and even as a puppy was the best girl in the world. Hopefully, people won't start over breeding the CD's and ruin their natural wonderful qualities.

We found our beautiful American Dingo at the shelter. She is 2 years old. We named her Kona. She's truly amazing. The previous owner found her as a puppy in Texas. That was all I needed to hear. God Bless Texas and the American Dingo.❤

I have what I think is a Carolina dog. We rescued her as a puppy from a high kill shelter in NC three years ago. They told us she was a shepherd/lab mix. She sure looked like it. We live in Virginia. As she grew, we started seeing unusual traits and behaviors. One of or vets said, "That's a Carolina Dog!" I've done a lot of research and believe our Sadie is one. She is absolutely the best dog we've ever had. My daughter has since gone back to that shelter and got another CD pup. She is fox/coyote looking and has a max weight of 30 lbs. We have a lovely pack! I don't think I will ever have any other breed of dog. Still filling in snout holes throughout the yard! Love coming home to my home to my CD who does throw here paws around me for a hug and loses her mind when I come home.

i finally know what kind of dog i have!!! (:

I adopted a puppy from a rescue in NJ. He came with papers from Virginia saying he was a female pom a poo.He is definitely not a Poodle or Pomeranian. And he is definitely a male. He looks just like a NC dog but he's only 22 lbs at 6 months. He has all the characteristics of Carolina dog. He is truly a perfect dog. We just love him... So glad we adopted him

We own a beautiful male Carolina dog who is 19/20 years old... he is a loyal, loving animal who we rescued from a abusive home.....a very, very intelligent animal.....I would have the same breed again !

THIS IS MY DOG!!! He came from a shelter in Georgia where he and his siblings were dropped off at 3 weeks. The ears move independently of each other, not just sideways but backwards and forwards too. I wish I could put a picture here. He looks like a buff short haired shepherd in the face but he acts like nothing like a Shepherd. The back of his rib cage sticks out just like that. He's only four and a half months old and he's already killed a snake and a mouse. He leave them at my door like he's getting me treats. And he poops in the bushes. He would cover it up if he possibly could but he's got a broken back toe right now you can tell he wants to. It was just seeing these ears because I kept thinking my dog has Jackal ears. And he's got the black rim eyes.

Carolina Dogs are truly great dogs. I got mine from the pound as a puppy then later found out what he was several moths later. I constantly have people stopping me to ask what kind of dog he is. I grew up with labs my entire life and i must say that he is the best dog i've ever had. If you are looking for a breeder in the middle Tennessee area there is a man named Jim Apple who would be more than happy to talk to you.

I used to have a Carolina Dog. Very mild tempered, but very territorial too. I loved him.

I'm in Toronto, Canada and have an 8 year old Carolina dog I obtained from a shelter just outside of Toronto when she was around 3 months old. A trucker found her and her sisters somewhere in Kentucky.

We found our Dakota chained to a pole, no food, water, or shade in Missouri in July last year. I told my husband that we were not leaving without him. Best baby EVER! There's not enough money in the world that could make us part with him.

Mine was dumped on the edge of the Everglades and was observed for months by would be rescuers. Finally he gave up and he was put up for adoption. Luckily he found me as we have bonded like no other dog has. He runs free and lives at home un fenced. Hates to be petted, totally reliable, smarter than most people I know. Read “The Bitter Southerner” article titled Carolina dog. All you need to know.

Same thing happened to me and my family. The shelter called her a "miniature Shepherd" but with some research, we found out that she's a dingo. She's so loving and I'm so glad we adopted her.

I love these dogs, My Lucky was a wonderful part of our family. If you ever have a chance to have these dogs as members of your family don't hesitate.

I love mine and am so glad my vet knew exactly what they were. She stated that she'd like to have one. My little girl is sad that my dog doesn't like hugs but doesn't complain when she lays on top of the dog and both take naps on the couch.

In January 2021 I was searching online for a dog to adopt. I found a 3-1/2 year old male that really appealed to me, called the owner and within a few days I brought him home. I live alone in a 2 bdrm house with yard. It took almost 2 mths. for him to begin to warm up to me. I searched online to see if I could find out what type(s) of breed he was and to my surprise he looked like a Carolina Dog. His ears don't stand fully erect but when I hold them up he looks just like the dog's online. The home we lived in was sold and we had to move. Out of necessity we now live in a 1 bdrm apt. but Dusty adapted very quickly. He is a wonderful dog, well mannered with other dogs but doesn't want anything to do with other people. Dusty is so loving and loyal now he wants to be close to me wherever I go, including the bathroom. I couldn't be more pleased with him, I love him very much! I would recommend a Carolina Dog to anyone whether you live in a rural area or in a downtown apartment like we do. Thanks for the video!

I had never heard about this breed of dog. Wonderful!

My girl is a Carolina and Pittie mix. I couldn't figure out what she was. Not even my vet!! I got her nails done at the groomer and she told me. I've had her since she was 8 weeks. The rescue said lab mix. No way. I'm glad to know what she is! It was driving me nuts.

I miss my carolina dog named Sasha, she was the best dog ever when I was growing up but she was put down in 2012 when she had a giant tumor in her neck during her elderly years. When I heard the news that she was going to be put down weeks earlier than expected (1h after the phone call) I couldn't bring myself to visit her one last time since I knew I wouldn't be able to let her go without an exchange of fists... I cried for the rest of the day and on and off afterwards. :(

I have a stray Carolina dog that used to run the bicycle trails with me daily. She'd lead and then bolt into the underbrush. She's been my buddy for 17 years now. But now, she's heavily domesticated. Likes to eat people food and such. But when she was young was a fine example of the breed.

I got a puppy for my birthday last June and was told it was a Catahoula + German Shepard, but as he grew there was something different about him. He has an unusual "wild" side, always plays with his food and chews, throwing it in the air and pouncing, and he often jumps up and bites me. . . . After googling a picture of him now at 7 months i know why . . . He is a Carolina Dog, without a doubt.

I just hope people don't ruin this breed through bad breeding, as they have many other breeds. A large wild population should be left alone.

We have a Carolina Dog from Lancaster, S.C. She is about 5 years old and is a great, loyal dog. Bella is her name.

I have a Carolina Dog , Ginger red mix I found in Florida. Her name is Akasha and she is aloof, but a bit better at snugging lately . She most of the time likes to be left alone, but at least now I can pet her. lol

I found my dog on the side of the road in bath South Carolina near a creek it took me a while to get her inside finally I did I named her ivory she doesn't bark I've heard her growl once she is really my best friend I dont live far from srs I'm glad I found her she looks like a orange colored dingo

I have a Carolina Dingo. He is awesome. We let him be independent but with a firm hand. He is a lover and likes to cuddle. But he is like a cat in that he gets finicky and doesn't want to be bothered. He plays and harasses the other dogs. Wouldn't trade him for anything...

Well I was adopted by one of these dogs about a year ago, didn't even have any idea it was a Dixie Dingo until around six months ago. She's older, was pretty much a stray, now she's telling everyone how she rescued me and its her full time job to protect me. Somebody is spoiling the beck out of her, whoever it is better stop. I've had dogs for over 60 years, I'm here to tell you, this rates right up there on my list for a cool dog. Doesn't really care for cuddling much but sometimes when l wake up her head is on my chest, just staring into my eyes. She likes bacon and eggs, chicken, steak, and pork. Imagine that?

They look so happy!

Thanks for posting!

Roxie was a Katrina rescue. Her former mistress flew from Washington to get her. Roxie came to us when she was around 9 - 10 years old. Her mistress had cancer that metastisized and asked my wife if we would give her a home. We have ten acres in a fairly rural area. Roxie goes out when I do, and when I go in is at the door within 15 minutes. She doesn't leave the yard unless I do. She is how I learned about the Carolina Dog, and if all the breed is like her... I want another. I do wish she had not been spayed, but unless you are a breeder it is responsible. She looks to have shorter legs that many of the photos I have seen, but all the other markers are there. Her first spring with us she got three moles and a few baby bunnies.

I love my baby and she covers her poo she turns around and spins out on it 3 or 4 times and she is faster than any dog I have had very strong natured animal and she is the best dog we have ever had

Looks like we adopted a Carolina dog mix. Came from Mississippi.

I have a Carolina dog. I'm in South Carolina. Her name is Shady. She's about a year old. Looks just like dingo too.

We had a dog a few years back and we couldn’t figure out what she was for the longest time. We realized she was a mix of Carolina dog and greyhound. She was smart, fast and we miss her.

this fully convinces me that my did is carolina dog mix. I wish I would have known earlier I wouldn't have gotten her fixed and bred her with another carolina dog. she's an amazing dog. she does try to cover her feces, and urine (saw you try to do it once) she's very sensative. she's like a tan color with white on her underside. all the way to her tail. one side tan other side white. it is fish hook tail. she launches her self off my porch when she goes outside to potty and runs the whole time except to stop to pee. potty training her was difficult though.

I live in Phoenix, AZ and just rescued a dog from a local shelter. My dog looks similar to this. My dog has yet to bark but looks just like a dingo. He is great in my apartment but once we get him outside, look out. He loves the outdoors. Would Basenji's and dingo's be similar to the Carolina dog in traits & appearances? His microchip was listed as an Australian Shepard but has short hair and a yellow coat.

Very interesting! Thank you

Love my Augustine. I like how old this video feels.

I had to Carolina dogs now I only have one because people were scared of them but these are the best guard dogs best protective smartest animals I ever met

Seem like great dogs, similar to dings...one of the few pre-contact dogs? My one year old one half Dalmatian one half something is great, he wants a lot of attention and a lot of exercise! All most all doggie breeds are great!

my dog olive fits this description..got her as a pound puppy..10 years old now and i love her to death

Yes, This Is A very Loyal Breed. Im Subscribing For Sure! =)

I have a carolina dog from California!

Great video ! Would love to have one . May I ask characteristics of the male vs female ? I’m divorced & single and need someone for the loneliness . It looks like it could be one of larger breeds . What would you recommend ? Thank sir for your video and knowledge of the breed .

Many native dogs from Pacific Islands and Taiwan are looks like Carolina Dog. I am foster a dog like Carolina Dog at home now. trying to find a home for him in North California.

They are indian dogs wow the americans knows the value of a gem for there great eyes .

Just found out about the Carolina Dog yesterday, How much are living in the wild, are there any valuation I wanna see the digging behavior..... More Input please

My pet sweet heart is a Carolina dog.

I have one from North Carolina.

I wish people wouldn't keep capturing them from the wild though! If these are the last wild and indigenous dogs of America....PLEASE DON'T RUIN THAT!

Who can I contact to see if I have one? She certainly looks like one and has characteristics based on what I read.

The shelters need to know how to ID these dogs

“Taking them from the woods” Am I the only one who finds this disturbing? Leave. Them. Alone. Wild belongs in the wild. How would you feel if someone stole your child and took her/him away to breed?? Completely disrespectful of life. And for those who respond with “but they’re cared for and they don’t look unhappy” .....YOU ARE MISSING THE POINT...

i found a female puppy took it home and she is the best dog ever

I LOVE MY PITBULL BUT I THINK I MIGHT GET A CAROLINA DOG TOO

I want one.

i have a carolina dog too! from northshore animal league! :) concindence?

I think my Lily is part Carolina dog. One of her nicknames is "Dingo."

I miss my carolina dog :(

I have one

I think many of the Carolina dogs in the Northeast are rescued by North Shore. It is quite an operation isn't it?

I just lost my awesome Carolina dog a couple of weeks ago and I really need one that will help her grieving "adopted" mixed breed pup that is very skittish with humans and me and my husband...I want to another of the best dogs I have ever had!...please help

would they be in the hound group?

I hope those who put up this video. I owned, the most precious dog i even owned and would like to fond another one. Please reply back to me on whom i can contact to adopted a carolina dog

I'll bet they first came with Aboriginies when they arrived in South America 50,000 years ago by boats, and not across the Siberian land bridge with the Spitz dogs at later dates~

Very hard or impossible to get one in Germany which is sad. We´d like to get one in the future.

They bark as far as I know in Carolina's is a mark of domestication. Dingoes unlike Carolina Dogs cannot bark as the vocal chords are like that of a Basenji which can only let out a yap but not bark like any domestic dog.

I found one in my yard it took me a long time to get her in now she is loyal and so sweet I live in Warrenville sc near horse creek I think she is pure she is a female I named her ivory she never barks why????

im getting 1

how should I handle her

We're can I get one!!!!!!

These are such cute dogs! Kind of makes me sad they are aloof/independent though. I'm not a person who likes cat-like dogs. That's why I'd like a dog ha!

i am publishing a book and I am looking for a picture of a Carolina dog for my book that I can get permission to use, My dog is named Dixie in the book. Message me on Facebook page "The Lesson" my name is Randy Getrost.

No one should be breeding dingoes...there are plenty already to go around.
