Our new family member, Carolina Dog..?

Well here are a few pics of our new family member. When we found him at the shelter the lady said he was Dingo. Of course the other lady said there is no such thing which was why I guess he was listed as a Golden Retriever. He is 6 months old and hard to get a picture of. As soon as you get a good shot he comes towards you or does some other goofy puppy thing.
He looks almost identical to a dog on a Carolina Dog web site. Don't know if he is a mix or not. If you have any ideas let me know.

I don't know, which doesn't help you at all, lol. She's from Tennessee, and the vet that saw her there put her down as GSD X Sheltie, but (ironically) her rescuer/foster mom told me she thought Kim was likely a Carolina Dog, which were apparently popular in the mountains there, lol.

So basically, no one really knows for sure. I don't think "Carolina Dog" is going to be on any of the canine DNA tests any time soon...

Puppy Kim, for comparison. Her ears were in an "up" stage here...they started out about like your pup's, and ended up closer to yours as well:

Re: Our new family member, Carolina Dog..?

Yeah Kim looks similar but defiantly more slender.
Here is another one of "Huck" and his couch. Oh yeah he is 30 pounds at 6 months.

Re: Our new family member, Carolina Dog..?

Well to be fair she was half-starved when I got her, but yeah she has always been rather slender. According to her vet records she was 22lbs at 6 months...at 2 yrs she is now 52lbs and 23 inches tall.

Huck is super cute, whatever he is How is he personality-wise?

Oh poor Kim, well I am glad you fixed her up and got her healthy.

Huck's personality is great. He is just learning that being nice and calm gets him more affection, and bouncing around the cats does not get him anywhere(he just wants to play). Not the best fetcher but the last week I have not been able to work with him that way. He just got his beans snipped so he has to take it easy. He likes earth worms... he'll dig em up if he has too. At least it is just a once and a while thing and not an addiction. He is learning his basic commands pretty quick, when he want to listen but at least he alway comes. Actually yesterday was a big break through. All day long he pretty much laid by my feet when in the house and ignored the cats, where as days past I had to alway keep an eye on him.
He is just really good a looking cute and being goofy. He will sometimes come up to you and put his head down between your feet and almost do a headstand resulting in a sideways foreward flip.
Never aggressive, good around all animals and kids. Although I have to train my niece and nephew, they get all excited then of course Huck gets all excited and jumpy. Still working on the staying calm when people come over or meeting new people, getting better though.
He love lounging on his couch legs spread like he is flying
Yes that is his couch we share with him. No go on the leather couch, the cats already made there marks on it running top speed with there claws out.

My beautiful wife lounging with our wonderful Huck
