The Carolina Dog is a medium-sized dog with a light, athletic build, erect ears, a wedge-shaped head, and a tail that is often curled or sabre-shaped. It is alert, intelligent, independent, and very physically fit. This is a primitive breed, so it requires patient training, socialization, and an understanding of the dog’s natural behaviors.
Advanced DNA analysis allows us to better understand the genetic predispositions specific to the breed and make more informed decisions about its health and care. The PetGen test analyzes genetic variants associated with the risk of hereditary and polygenic diseases that may be more common in representatives of the breed. The result provides valuable information about health predispositions, supporting prevention, diagnostic planning and daily care. It’s a tool that helps owners, breeders and veterinarians act earlier and more informed.
