Carolina Dog 351

Carolina Dogs are often described as looking similar to Australian Dingoes or a jackal. This dog breed originated in the southern United States. Their canine ancestors came to what is now Georgia and South Carolina with the Paleo-Indians who traveled to North America over the Bering land bridge. Their ancestry can be traced back to domesticated Asian wolves from thousands of years ago.

Although they have been domesticated, these sighthounds can still be found living in the wild in this area. They tend to be more concentrated near the Georgia-South Carolina border, and they have been spotted as far to the west as Arizona and as far north as Pennsylvania and Ohio. The AKC has included the Carolina Dog in their Foundation Stock Service since 2017 and has assigned them to the Hound Group.
