Carolina Dog (American Dingo) puppies for sale in New Brunswick

Breed history

The Carolina Dog, often called the American Dingo, is one of the few remaining primitive dog breeds still living in the United States. These dogs are believed to be descendants of ancient pariah dogs that migrated from Asia with humans across the Bering Land Bridge thousands of years ago. For centuries, they survived as semi-wild dogs in the southeastern United States, especially in the Carolinas and Georgia, living near swamps and pine forests. Rediscovered in the 1970s by Dr. I. Lehr Brisbin, who studied them in South Carolina, the breed was found to have genetic links to ancient East Asian and Australian dingoes. Today, the Carolina Dog is recognized by several kennel clubs as a natural, primitive breed, admired for its intelligence, adaptability, and unspoiled instincts.
