The Evolution Of The Carolina Dog

Tags: , , ,



The Carolina Dog came from Southern Carolina, as if its name wasn't clue enough. This pooch is said to have been around there for thousands of years, and had to put up with the “wild” environment there. Luckily it was able to adapt well and make a home in the forests, swamps, and savannahs – if not it wouldn't be seeing it around, now would you? That was a long time ago, at present, the Carolina Dog has made its self popular as a ; more proof of its “survival” skills; the transition from wild to domesticated is beautiful. It hasn't changed much since back then, but it did retain some of the basic traits that it developed in the past.

These are some of the things that you should keep in mind if you ever consider a Carolina Dog for adoption. For those interested, listen up: this pooch does make a great house pet if its is taken under your care as a pup. They may be domesticated, but there's always a possibility for its “wild” gene to kick back in, which leaves you dealing with . Dealing with it as early as possible is a must – giving it behavioral lessons would help a lot with its behavioral development. In general, they don't show much signs of aggression, and are friendly by nature.



But they do have the tendency to be awkwardly shy towards strangers, and avoid contact with them. That “problem” can be rid of through early socialization. It's like the first day of school where it has to meet its classmates, who happen to be other animals and people. The Carolina Dog does well in packs – that's what it did before, and it'll still want to do the same now. So if there are several members in the household, that's going to be good for it. They have this need to be part of a group, like some lonely high school kid wanting to be part of a school organization or some emotionally disturbed boy wanting to join a gang.

You have to make it feel like it belongs to the family to help it “ease in”. If it feels relaxed and that it can trust you, it'll become much better (friendlier and more affectionate). When the “ease in” transition is complete, it'll get along quite well with children and perhaps even guests. One good thing about the Carolina Dog is that it's very intelligent – they learn very fast, therefore dog training won't be much of a problem. Owners say that it's easy to housebreak, so you won't have to worry much about it crapping everywhere or marking household appliances as its territory.

Grooming for this pooch is a piece of cake; their coats don't need that much brushing, and they'll only need bathing when absolutely necessary. If you want it to grow up healthy, make sure that you give it – it's best when its fed 3 times daily (this is to aid with proper digestion). Exercise will also be needed (since when was it not) – taking it out on walks, jogs, or even play would be good enough.
