Carolina Dogs, or American Dingoes, likely arrived in North America with early humans and lived wild for thousands of years. Some still roam in the Carolinas today. They are cautious with newcomers but become loyal pack members once accepted. With a medium build, pointed ears, and a fishhook tail, they resemble their wild ancestors. Carolina Dogs are known for pack behavior and problem solving. With proper socialization, they become devoted and affectionate family pets. Their high energy and natural hunting drive suit active owners who can provide ample exercise and mental stimulation.
