Carolina Dogs, also known as American Dingoes, came to North America with early humans and have survived in the wild for thousands of years. Some still roam freely in the Carolinas today. They are wary with strangers but become faithful pack members once trusted. With a medium frame, pointed ears, and a fish-hook tail, they resemble their wild forebears. Carolina Dogs are known for their pack dynamics and problem-solving abilities. When properly socialized, they become dedicated and affectionate family pets. Their high energy and natural hunting drives make them ideal for active owners who can provide ample exercise and mental engagement.
