Cons: shy with strangers,but when she gets to know them is happy to see them,may take lots of visits though.

I have had my carolina dog for a year and a half now. she has been the best dog i have ever had! i have grown up with all different breeds but the carolina dog is by far the best one yet! i have a 4 year old and sometimes i think he is her favotite person in the family. she is a wonderful watch dog with my son. if they are in the yard together she never lets him out of her sight. if you are looking for a great breed and are looking into this breed.....look no more! this is the one i recomend!!!!

Pros: Great with children wonderful with other animals

Cons: not do great with unknown people. one family dogs.

Like all Carolina Dog owners we rave about our pet. We didn't know until she was over a year old that she was a breed of dog and not just some marvelous fluke of a mutt. I cannot imagine a more perfect family pet than a Carolina Dog. She is quite literally a family member. Such devotion, intelligence, playfulness and gentleness. An imposing watch dog as she has the almost wolfish appearance and strangers are generally startled by her howling bark. We don't mention how gentle and affectionate she is until we trust whoever is at the door. This is also a very handsome breed. Wherever we take her she gets compliments on how very eye catching and regal she is. Even in the wonderful world of loving dogs Carolinas stand out. They love to be near and affectionate with their "pack" (family). Using their paws they will grip you in a literal hug and snuggle and kiss as long as you can stand it. I would encourage any dog lover to share your home with a Carolina Dog. You will never regret the choice.

I had been going to the pound for about a month when I had spotted our Zoey. She was covered in mud and looked pitiful, but I fell in love. I paid $39 and finally took her home and cleaned her up. At first she was a little shy, but once she saw we were her family, she wouldn't have it any other way! She is very loving attentive and smart. I just recently found out she was a Carolina Dog, because someone had stopped me at Petsmart, and was amazed when they saw her. I instantly came home and looked up the breed, and couldn't believe that this was exactly the same dog I took home from the pound. These dogs are exactly the way they are described. She is affectionate, devoted, playful. She was easy to potty train, she doesn't destroy my house. She loves my daughter, and usually sleeps with her. She loves to people watch, and she gets along with other dogs really well, but I believe that is because we would take her on puppy playdates when she was little. She adapts to her environment, and has made having a dog while with the military pretty easy. She likes what she likes, and she lets you know it too. Seriously, the best dog I have ever owned!

Pros: easy to potty train, is not destructive, great family dog, is good with other dogs (big or small)

Cons: needs a lot of exercise, and a big space to run in. Doggy parks are a great alternative, if you are in an apartment.

We adopted Abby from the pound 2 years ago and had no clue what breed she was. Her ears got us from the start, it seemed they were bigger than her head. She walked up to my husband in the adoption room and put her head in his lap. From then on I knew she would be ours forever. It wasn't until I saw another dog on a website that we knew her breed. She is a carolina dog for sure. She is the most loving dog ever and sweet. She is also very smart. It didn't take much time to potty train her. She is good with our other dogs. She does have a strong prey drive especially with birds it seems. She is very protective when my husband is not in the house. Great dog doesn't even seem like enough to say about her. I am so glad that she selected us that day to be her forever home.

Pros: Very Loyal, Smart, great family dog, loving and affectionate

Cons: Strong prey drive, shy at times

I adopted Jet almost a year ago from a couple who moved into a condo. We wanted to try him out for the weekend but he never left because he was just too lovable and we thought he would make a good pet. when he moved with me and my sister, he acted like he had known us since he was a puppy. He adapted easily and fast. never left my side and respected the boundaries of home and the outside. he doesn;t run out into the street even when the gate was left open. unless i call him to me. Just last month I went down with the flu and went up to my room in the late afternoon to rest.Followed me and never left my side, stayed in my room upstairs even when my sister was calling him down to eat his dinner. He just wouldn;t leave my side. That's how loyal and loving jet is.....

Pros: loyal, affectionate, protective, obedient,

Cons: needy, gets excited around rowdy people and nips at them.

About a year ago, me and my mother had just moved into a new house out of an apartment. I was in sixth grade then. I had always wanted a dog, and we decided to go to the animal shelter in Weatherford Texas. My mother had wanted a Labrodoar, but I just didn't feel like I wanted an air bud...... We looked through all the buildings with all the endless dogs, yapping and whining to be saved. I remember my mom seeing two lab puppies and getting all excited and saying "Let's get this one!!!" I like labs, but I just didn't feel for one.. I wanted a German sheperd. I didn't even know what a carolina dog was then, and knew little about Dingos at the time aswell. Just when i thought i had lost all hope in finding my dream dog, I found her. She was about two months old, with the largest goofiest ears ever and she had light friendly amber eyes. It said she was A "German dshperd, Corgi mix." I fell in love with her. She even looked smart,( which she is). She didn't jumo at me or anything. She just sat there, and wagged her fish hook tail, as if to say, "hello. How's it going?" And i knew she was the one. We adopted her the next day and took her home. At first she was shy, but then she fit right in like she had always been there. Her bestfriend is my cat Keeley. They play fight alot and sleep together in my room on my bed with me everynight. I thought she was a shibu inu for a while... Then one day My uncle first saw my dog and said "That look's like yah got you a american dingo dog." I was like "huh?" so i looked it up. Sure enough, there she was. She is very loyal and is a good family dog. They bond with families fast, and you can trust them to never leave your side. She is entergetic and a little ball of fun. She always cheers me up. I din't even have to potty train her. She already knew and she was only two months old. She knew how to play frisbee and all that too. VERY inteligent dogs. Best dog I ever had.

Pros: Smart, loving, protective

Cons: Needs excercise, sometimes gets over excited with loud and energetic people,
