Carolina Dog - online puzzles

The Carolina dog is a landrace of medium-sized, feral dog that lives mostly in the Southeastern United States, especially in isolated stretches of longleaf pines and cypress swamps. Re-domestication of Carolina dogs has recently become popular, and they can make good domestic pets with proper socialization. Since 2008, artificial selection efforts to establish them as a standardized breed (usually capitalized as Carolina Dog ) has made some progress, with recognition in two smaller national kennel clubs, and acceptance into the breed -establishment program of a major one.

The Carolina dog was rediscovered living as free-roaming population by I. Lehr Brisbin Jr., though originally documented in American dog -related publications in the 1920s. Carolina dogs show admixture with other dog breeds from Europe and elsewhere. Brisbin, recognizing something different about them despite cross -breeding, proposed that the some of the Carolina dog 's ancestors arrived with the first, prehistoric Americans. Some modern genetic research tentatively supports this hypothesis.
