About The Carolina Dog.
The Carolina Dog is a pretty cool looking dog. It even has big ears like me; maybe they is like… my long lost relatives from Carolina. They sort of remind me of The Basenji Dog, even though they are not related. People can mistake them for small Australian Dingo’s too. Carolina Dogs are actually Pariah Dogs which are considered to be ancestors of the Dingo. Also, they were used for hunting dogs back about 8,000 years ago for the Indians. Iz wonder if they wore feathers too?
Carolina Dogs Have Nicknames.
Carolina Doggies has so many nicknames – American Dingo, The Dixie Dingo, The Southern Dingo, The Native American Dog, The Indians Dog, The Southern Aboriginal Dog and juss plain Ol’ Yaller Dog. That last one seems easier to say if you ask me. BOL! They call them the Yaller Dog because they is all Yellow.
Are There Some Still Wild?
These dogs are not completely domesticated, there are allot of thems that still live freely in swamps and forest in South Carolina and that area. They has lived there for thoudands of years. People sometimes think they are stray dogs. Could you imagine trying to pet on of those? Although you should never pet a dog you do not know, still, if you did try. That would be scarys.
Temperament.
Carolina Doggies is very shy normally if not socialized, but if ya do let them get to know people when they are younger they should be okay. Most times in the wild they live in a pack, they also need to live ina pack at home with you. BUT, the key is, to being THEIR leader not the other way around. That goes with most every dog though, but if they get in the habit when they is younger of owning you, that may not work so well for the both of you. Iz try to own my hoomans and Iz do, they just don’t know it. They is a very good doggie to have if you have children, they love to play and be (like Iz said) part of the pack, so it might be good to put the kids outside with the dog(s) and lets them play. BOL! They is very clean dogs, so housebreaking should not be any problem. Along with getting in the garbage and all the messy stuff. They do not want to be dirty or have their living area dirty.
Can They Live in Small Areas?
They is not good if you live in a little place, cause they need big areas. If yous a person that likes to keep your doggie outside, these would be a good doggie to have. Unless you live in a very cold area, they do good in all kind of heat. Even the weather like where Iz live, when it gets 120 degrees Fahrenheit.
Is They Active?
They need lots of exercise, so if you have a big yard, that’s cool. If not, take them for walks and runs and stuff.
How Long Will They Live?
They live to be 12-16 if taken care of. Is all depends though, juss like any doggie.
