Do Carolina Dogs suffer from any inherited defects or diseases?
Thus far, in our captive breeding program, we have not encountered any inherited defects in our dogs. We now have 5th and 6th generation captive-bred pups that are strong, healthy, and of perfect temperament. We hope to incorporate breeding programs that will ensure genetic variability within a small population of dogs and produce the best dogs available. These dogs are naturally healthy. Hip dysphasia, eye, ear and skin problems prevalent in many other breeds are thankfully lacking in our breed at this point in time.
