Shy and cautious, Carolina Dogs thrive in a pack environment. They’re medium sighthounds that look similar to a jackal or Australian Dingo, although they are descended from dogs that came with Paleo-Indians who traveled from Asia over the Bering Bridge. This rare breed mostly lives close to the  Georgia-South Carolina border. They have fox-like noses, pointed ears, and a curved tail. They are vigilant watchdogs.
