Caring for a Carolina Dog

Health

A generally healthy, hardy breed with few documented inherited conditions, reflecting minimal selective breeding.

Nutrition

A quality diet in measured portions.

Grooming

The short coat needs minimal grooming.

Training

Early, patient socialization is essential given the breed's natural shyness; this is not a breed that warms quickly to strangers.

About the breed

An American landrace breed found living semi-wild in the rural Southeast, believed to descend from ancient dogs that arrived with early humans.

Shy and cautious by nature, Carolina Dogs form intensely loyal bonds once they accept a person, though they typically stay wary of strangers.
