The Carolina dog, also known as a yellow dog or yaller dog, American Dingo, or Dixie Dingo, is a medium-sized breed, occasionally found feral in the Southeastern United States, especially in isolated stretches of longleaf pines and cypress swamps.
The typical Carolina dog has pointed ears, a fox-like snout, and a tail that curves like a fishhook when raised.
They look similar to Australian Dingoes, but they fall under Canis familiaris.
Health. The Carolina Dog breed is relatively healthy overall. Having lived in the wild for so long, they do not have the genetic disorders that many over-bred dog breeds have today. A minor concern may include hip and elbow dysplasia.
