Interesting. I saw a documentary on Carolina dogs in ETV a few years ago. I also think I have heard the breed referred to a “dingo”. Either way, I understand they make great companions. Thanks for your writing on this and thee many other subjects in your substance.
Thanks, Ad. Yes, they are fascinating dogs. And, they have been referred to as American Dingos, but that term is frowned upon by many now, for some reason. Technically, they are Pariah dogs. Regionally, the free-range population is considered a landrace due to the fact that over the centuries of time, they were shaped by the environment they live in. When I started this knowledge journey, I didn’t know what either of those terms meant. So, it has been fascinating.
And, thank you for reading Life UnCorked. It means a lot.
Like you, I had never heard the terms Carolina dogs or landrace. From you, I am learning fascinating insights into both. Thanks, Cork.
