Why did you start breeding?
My first Carolina Dog was an unexpected gift. My journey with her has led me to breeding for the preservation of this unique and wonderful breed.

Carolina Dog
About Bee
A wonderful example of a Carolina Dog, Bee is athletic, smart, and bonded to her people. She's extra sweet and goofy too! Though her sensitivity and "what's in it for me" attitude show her primitive nature. She loves running, learning new things and chasing the plastic bunny (or real prey). She is titled in conformation, rally, precision coursing, lure events, and scentwork. She is currently 1 qualifying leg away from her first weight pull title too. She does a fantastic job of showcasing the breed's versatility. She was the National Champion at the breed club show in 2023 & she earned a Total Dog Group 3 at UKC's Premier 2024. We are excited for her to pass on her many wonderful traits to her offspring.

Parent health testing
Breeder-Reported Testing
Excellent level
Full Circle Carolina Dogs reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for Carolina Dogs.
Hip Dysplasia
Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.
Elbow Dysplasia Finals (OFA, BVA, SV, FCI)
Elbow testing reduces the chance of passing down elbow dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause arthritis in the elbow joint and front leg lameness.
Eye Certification (CAER, registered with OFA)
Eye testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide range of hereditary eye illnesses including retinal dysplasia, lens luxation, and glaucoma, which can cause impared vision or blindness.
Cardiac Evaluation (registered with OFA)
Heart testing reduces the chance of passing down congenital heart disease, which can cause a range of symptoms ranging from trouble exercising to heart failure.
Patellar Luxation
Knee testing reduces the chance of passing down Patellar Luxation, which results in the kneecap becoming displaced or dislocated and can cause mild to severe joint pain.
DNA Disease Panel
Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
