The Carolina Dog is one of the oldest breeds in the United States and is relatively untouched by human meddling. As a result it’s also one of the rarest breeds. Also known as the American Dingo, the Dixie Dingo, or simply the Yellow Dog, they were companions of the Native Americans in the Southeast American territories and are essentially still the wild dogs that their ancestors were. It is generally believed they are the descendants ancient Asian dogs that followed nomads to North America as long ago as Pleistocene times. The breed was officially named in the 1970s by Dr. I Lehr Brisbin Jr of the Univeristy of Georgia after he discovered and documented a wild pack living in the wilds of the Carolinas. They were inducted into the UKC in 1996 and are categorized as working dogs. The Carolina Dog is naturally shy but very loyal and an excellent family pet. They are intelligent and active.

My Dog's Running Face: Clipper loves a game of chase whether someone is chasing him or not! My dog's running face is not the most regal. It is unleashed and pure fun. He will go from handsome and stoic to full-on silly if I entice him to run with, to, or from me.
The Carolina Dog, also called the American Dingo, the Dixie Dingo, the Southern Dingo, the Native American Dog, the Indian's Dog, and the Southern Aboriginal Dog, was originally a landrace type of dog which was rediscovered living as a wild dog or free roaming dog by Dr. I. Lehr Brisbin in the 1970s, and originally documented in American dog breed publications in the 1920s. Carolina Dogs often live in isolated stretches of longleaf pines and cypress swamps in the Southeastern United States. Carolina Dogs are a medium sized dog, that have buff, fawn or ginger-colored coats (sometimes, but less commonly, black or piebald) similar to that of Australian dingos, with or without small white markings on toes, chest, tail tip and muzzle. In the wild, Carolina Dogs often live in sparsely settled land instead of the highly populated areas stray dogs commonly occupied. However there are sizeable wild populations in metro Atlanta's wooded areas even near industrial plants and major highways.
One of the earliest publications to document Carolina Dogs was the article "Dogs of the American Aborigines" by Glover Morrill Allen, published in 1920 by the Museum of Comparative Zoology at Harvard College.
It was proposed that Mitochondrial DNA testing might prove a link between primitive dogs and Carolina dogs. Brisbin stated, "We grabbed them out of the woods based on what they look like, and if they were just dogs their DNA patterns should be well distributed throughout the canine family tree. But they aren't. They're all at the base of the tree, where you would find very primitive dogs." This was not conclusive, but it did spark interest into more extensive DNA testing.
Though it is still unconfirmed, the theory is that Carolina dogs are related to the primitive dogs that migrated to North America alongside humans thousands of years ago. Brisbin notes that the Carolina dog is nearly identical in appearance to the chindo-kae, a breed native to Chindo Island, Korea, which has been free of hybridization with more modern dogs. This further bolsters Brisbin's hypothesis that if primitive dogs on each side of the Bering Straight land bridge look alike, then perhaps they did arrive with people, and that the Carolina dog may be a close descendent.
Whatever studies are needed to unravel the mysteries of this unique wild dog with its unusual habits and appearance will have to happen quickly, as time is running out for its existence in the isolated swamps and forests of the southeast. The population of free-roaming wild Carolina dogs has significantly declined, and continues to decline with the encroachment of humans, domestic dogs and coyotes into their once isolated territories.
The Carolina dog is now recognized as a pure breed by the United Kennel Club, which could help protect it from losing its genetic uniqueness. They can make quality family pets in experienced households, and there are several organizations dedicated to breeding and rescuing Carolina dogs to keep their line going. But selective breeding by humans also puts them back into the realm of domestic dog. As Brisbin notes, "Even when based on documented wild-caught founders, such continued management under conditions of captive breeding cannot be expected to maintain those traits which set these animals apart from all other domestic dogs."Though their genetic line may be preserved, the room for the wildness that made the Carolina dog what it is, is rapidly disappearing.

A very nice angled jump chute with little 4" bars for Miss Calliope! Excited and ready to keep moving forward with my little girl. She has so much drive and is doing so well!
Calliope had her second agility class on Sunday! We got to do the A-Frame and the tire! Callie was awesome and our trainer said that we set the bar really high at the beginning of class 😄
