Description
Dog Breed: Carolina Dog (short coat). HOLD / PENDING Dixie is a strikingly beautiful, loving-every-moment-of-life, exuberant girl. She had been with a family previously who had to give her up, although they loved her very much. Dixie is cautious of strangers but a great appropriate introduction, she can quickly become friends. With her family and people, she’s just a wonderfully affectionate, playful happy dog. She is strong and does have some pray drive (will chase a lizard, try to catch bees etc.), so a person that is able to manage that appropriately would be needed if you intend to do a lot of outings. Dixie has a lot of training under her belt, which her new family should be willing and prepared to continue for consistency and continued development and to maintain respect for boundries. When she first came to our rescue she was very mouthy (not in an aggressive way but playful or this was how she learned to say hello or get attention as a puppy) she has been doing really well in learning better and more appropriate behavior. Her ultimate favorite toy is a tennis throw toy. She will chase that top and then prance around, so proud of herself. Dixie loves other compatable dogs and is a boisterous playmate so she is more compatable with dogs that wont challenge her but will chase the ball with her (but mostly let her win). Her favorite thing in the world is the company and love of a family. She loves to hang out and be around her people - She would not be good around cats and because of her exuberance, older children would be more suited.

Breed overview
Carolina Dog
A.K.A.: American Dingo, Dixie Dingo, Southern Dingo, Native Dog, Swamp Dog, Yellow Dog, CD
Overview:
The Carolina Dog, often called the “American Dingo,” is a fascinating and ancient breed believed to have descended from primitive canids that crossed the Bering land bridge with early humans. Originating in the southeastern United States, particularly the swamps and forests of the Carolinas and Georgia, they are a medium-sized dog with a distinctive wild appearance. Physically, they possess a lean, athletic build, short reddish-brown to black coat, and a characteristic "fish-hook" tail. Temperamentally, Carolina Dogs are known for their intelligence, independence, and natural instincts; they can be reserved with strangers but form strong bonds with their families. While adaptable, their energy levels and need for mental stimulation make them better suited for active families with access to a yard rather than small apartments. Generally a healthy breed, they are robust, though responsible breeders screen for common canine issues. Their unique history and engaging personalities make them a rewarding companion for the right owner.
