Saw a Carolina Yellow Dog at Petsmart today. The owner was understandbly very proud of her dog and its heritage.
First studied and named by I. Lehr Brisbin, Jr., Ph.d., this an interesting breed of dog. Suspected of being descendants of the first dogs in the Americas, these are "pariah" dogs, dogs bordering on the fringes of domesticity and fully capable of independent wild survival.
This dog I saw was clearly highly intelligent and extremely alert to her surroundings. A real treat to sight such a rare breed here in Arizona.
