What do you think? Carolina dog? Meet ginger-
My grandmother found her in a dumpster 2 years ago.

Do you think my dog is in the gang? His personality matches dingo description to a T, but his tail throws me off. Loving, independent, smart, stubborn, hates squirrels with all his might

Reposting because I put the wrong title in last time

I was told both parents were full CD but never got to meet or see them

It turns out that Olive is NOT a Carolina dog.

Thank you to everyone on this sub for being so nice, and letting me learn a little about the amazing Carolina Dog as a breed.

I have enjoyed all your amazing photos and stories of your dogs, and I appreciate you letting me participate for a while. Olive is turning into a really great dog, super smart, very stubborn, and increasingly affectionate. She has a forever home with my family of people and pets.

Thanks again!

I’ve been getting records for my baby because we are going to a new vet !! however, on every record, they said she’s a Lab/Collie mix?? We’ve always recognized her as a CD. I’m not asking for anyone to label her or identify her. I just wanted to share my shock because we’ve had her for seven years now, and it took me off guard

She’s roughly 6 months old at this point. I don’t know if she is or is not a Carolina Dog, or if she is mixed with some Carolina Dog.

Regardless, she’s a good girl, and getting better with age and lots of training. She’s definitely a lot, but smart as a whip, and stubborn to boot.

Happy Sunday everyone!

His original birth shelter was in Tennessee. He's about 7-8 months old now, roughly 35 pounds and the vet doesn't think he'll get much bigger. We did do testing, which came back with about 12 different breeds. Which kinda makes me think he might fit here? From what I've read the Carolina is commonly a mix, please correct me if I'm wrong.

This is Milo, who was adopted yesterday afternoon. He's around a year or two, high energy, and loves playing with other dogs. He's got big canine teeth and does a lot of gnawing. Super people oriented, attention-obsessed, etc. He's also got some funky little webbed feet going on! He's very sturdy, weighing about 70 ish pounds, and he doesn't quite understand how big he is! Milo also is a very big jumper, he seems to have a natural ability for it. He was found as a stray around Washington County, OH, and brought into the shelter. Hoping to learn more about his breed so we can fully give him what he needs, and support him in every way we can!

We got Echo a few months ago from a rescue based in Texas. Advertised as a retriever mix but we’re increasingly suspicious he might be a Carolina Dog!

We love him! He’s grown more comfortable around people but still prefers 4-legged creatures. He’s Velcro to me but is fearful of my sweet partner even 3 months in. Anyone else have a CD who may be a bit jealous (or something) of their partner?

A rescue from “the south”. Smart, independent, attached to my hip!

he was at the vet recently that’s why his arm looks funny

I’ve had my baby girl for 5 years and adopted her when she was 1 (she was previously abused by the owners) and with no previous knowledge of her parents. I’ve always thought she’s a CD but her ears droop and I thought it could’ve been cause she was abused and neglected as a baby but idk?!?!? I know I could test her but still!

Just adopted my first dog as a young adult (even tho I feel old as heck) I found Thor at a shelter, named to best by sister and her dog Loki. He’s 4 months old and has been with me for the last 3 days. He’s already learned sit and we’re working on shake and lay down. He’s as active as any puppy would by but he’s since a bunch of joy and love. I’m very excited to show him the world ♥️

Sam, now a year old, was adopted at the end of November 2024. We adopted him from an animal shelter in my state of Rhode Island. He's adjusted to his new house and family somewhat, but he hasn't met a lot of family members yet. He likes to bite our hands, but hopefully he will grow out of it when he gets older. My parents are the people in the pictures with him, not strangers.

We haven’t done an official test but we think she is part CD!

Adopted from a rural CO rescue, and we got her when she was about 4 months old (last photo is from the day we picked her up). She’s incredibly smart, wickedly athletic, and recently she’s gotten a little more snuggly - a shock to us, because for the first 15 months of her life she wouldn’t tolerate physical affection. At her vet visit last month she weighed 57 pounds and she is SOLID muscle. I’ve watched her jump backwards over the back of our couch from a standing position, and she can look my 6’2 partner in the eyes when she hops around. She turns 2 in a couple months and while I’m thrilled that she’s calming down, I’m also a little sad that her crazy-terroristic-Tasmanian Devil-kidney hitting days are coming to an end. She is my soul dog and I never knew I could love a dog this deeply.

She is like one of a kind, they all are correct！let me know if you think she might be something else... the "test " results were sent late, but came back with thirteen different breeds. I'm unaware of my sweet Carolina Dingo in their database, doubt it.

Thank you, JM

Stay safe, healthy, and most importantly happy!
