| The Carolina Dog is a medium-sized dog, with a medium-length straight back, with a distinctive waist which sets off a deep brisket from a highly tucked-up loin. His tail has a fish-hook-like configuration, and is carried dependent upon his mood. He has large, upright ears, and a long, graceful neck. It is not unusual, or inappropriate, for the ribs to show slightly, like in a well-conditioned racing sighthound. His almond-shaped eyes are dark brown in color, and his nose is black. His ears are slightly rounded at the tip, fine in texture, and mobile. His tail appears to be a continuation of the spine, with moderate brush, and most heavily haired on the underside. |
