Raw Tidbit - Cropping and Docking

This is a very controversial topic within the dog world. However, research and proper vet care are key with these. They should never be done by a non-licensed vet. We are of the mindset that cropping and docking should be a breeder/owner choice and not something that is banned by a government. These procedures are banned in the UK, most of Europe, Australia, and New Zealand. If you think they are cruel, that is your opinion and your choice to get a dog that is cropped/docked or left natural.

It is your choice and do your homework will always be the phrases with this podcast.

Episode 5 - Carolina Dog

This breed is native to the US and was discovered and documented in the wild in South Carolina. It is still discovered in the wild in a few places today. It is also a domestic dog breed that is AKC FSS recognized. It looks similar to other pariah type dogs like the Canaan Dog and Dingo. This breed is sometimes called the American Dingo even though they aren't related.
