Carolina Dog Images Collection

Carolina Dog images - The Carolina Dog was originally a landrace or naturally selected type of dog which was rediscovered living as a wild dog or free roaming dog by Dr. I. Lehr Brisbin, 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. A breed standard has been developed by the United Kennel Club that now specifies the appearance of these dogs. Carolina Dogs are a medium sized dog, that comes in varying shades of red ginger, buff, fawn, black, black and tan or piebald with or without small white markings on toes, chest, tail tip and muzzle. Frequently puppies have a melanistic mask that usually fades as the adult coat comes in. (Wikipedia)

Images of Carolina Dog

The ears are large and erect and can be individually turned to the direction of the sound. Height: 17-24 inches (45–61 cm.) Weight: 30-65 pounds (15–20 kg.)

Female dogs had three estrus cycles in quick succession, which settled into seasonal reproductive cycles when there was an abundance of puppies. Brisbin noted that this was most likely to ensure quick breeding before diseases, like heartworm, take their toll. Some pregnant dogs also dug dens in which to give birth.
After they gave birth or while pregnant, the dog would carefully push sand with her snout to cover her excrement. They were excellent at locating and catching small mammals e.g. shrews and mice, using a pouncing technique similar to a fox. The dogs also dug “snout pits”, or hundreds of tiny holes in the dirt that perfectly fit their muzzles during this time. More female dogs dug them than males.
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. More study is required to accurately document their habitat behaviors.
