Rare Carolina Dogs
Welcome to Lynches River Kennels, where we specialize
in the rare piebald (black and white)Carolina dog. My name is Dr. Don Anderson and I am the owner, breeder, and developer of Carolina dogs here at Lynches River Kennels.
Carolina dogs are a rare, prized, and ancient breed dating back thousands of years, and are also known as the Dixie Dingo or Native American dog. Please take a look around the site for
detailed photos of my dogs, a detailed description of characteristics, and the rich history surrounding these unique animals.
Our adult dogs are not kept in kennel cages, but rather in large fenced in areas here on my farm where they can behave more like they would in their natural habitat. Puppies are kept in kennel cages only when they are being trained or socialized.
Although Carolina dogs still exist in the wild here in South Carolina, human encroachment is threatening to make that a thing of the past. It is my hope that through education and breeding that the Carolina dog will continue to thrive, whether in the wild or in your home. If you are interested in purchasing a piebald Carolina dog for hunting, breeding, or companionship, please see my detailed contact information below. We also carry ginger, cream, and black and tan coated dogs. Links to relevant sites containing information on the Carolina dog are provided on the characteristics page of this site. When you purchase a Carolina
dog, you own a piece of history.
*I also breed wild boars that are available for purchase.

I wish to welcome Mark Eden of Ancient Dogs of Eden in Greensburg, Indiana to the Carolina Dog Breeders.
Mark has done some very interesting research on some of the very earliest accounts of Carolina Dog encounters and observations in Colonial Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, and Alabama as described in a very revealing book of the travels and observations of William Bartram. Bartram was a very widely noted naturalist and explorer of the 1770’s.
As quoted by the AKC: “As of 1539, when de Soto's expedition landed in Florida and began their odyssey throughout the Southeastern U.S., there was only one species of domestic animal in North America, the native Indian's dog. This dog was described by members of de Soto's expedition as looking exactly like the wolf except that it barked and the wolf only howled.” (240 years before Bartram)
Lewis and Clark in the early 1800’s said the dogs of the Indians west of the Mississippi were pied or piebald in color.
The basic observations from Mark Edens research on these historical discoveries are that in the southeastern area of America, when the Indians were the owners of what we now call Carolina Dogs, most were noted to be black, black and tan, or pied. It is impossible to deny the ginger color that is so prevalent today, which prevails near the Savannah River area. Along the Lynches River water shed; black, black and tan, and ginger prevail in order as noted.
(Dr. Don Anderson:)
“Due to my proud but seldom mentioned Cherokee blood, my color of choice is piebald; the chief’s color. I am the chief of my own tribe which lives on the 1,000 acre Lynches River Wildlife Preserve. (Belongadon Plantation) I think it only fitting to raise the chiefs’ dog.
Since my first Carolina Dog Tadpole was black, found by me in Indian Springs on Lynches River Wildlife Reserve, I think it only fitting that I use his almost identical grandson Mingo, owned my Mark Eden in Indiana, as a starting point to begin raising black and black and tan Carolina Dogs again. I sent two of my piebald females north to Mark and Mingo. He now raises black and black and tan Tadpoles!” He has beautiful puppies of several ages. Contact him @:
