Neat.
Isn't there something unusual about these dogs.
They're like "ur dogs"....;)
They've remained exactly the same as you see them now for at *least* 6000 years.
They have no odor, are totally pack-oriented and do not exhibit the same classic play behavior as "normal" dogs.
Their vocalizations are not normal either.
When I had Dobermans and Ibizans at the same time, a lot of bickering broke out because it was as though the two breeds were speaking entirely different 'languages'.
Living with them is unlike any other breed of dog and you have to almost forget everything you know about dogs, per se and learn an entirely different canine paradigm.
As far as the Carolina Dingos go, I'd be they came with the Phoenicians on the -east- coast rather over the Bering straits with "Indians" as the article suggests.
The Phoenicians were responsible for taking Ibizans from their native Egypt to Phoenicia and the islands of Malta and Ibiza.
It's easy to imagine them bringing specially cross-bred dogs with them on their voyages since they hauled them everywhere else.
Heck, Hannibal took Ibizans with him over the Alps and Ibizans have have shown up in Irish/Celtic art and mythology.
[the "Cu Sidhe" of the fairy folk were white, "baying" dogs with red eyes, ears and noses and only Ibizans fit that description]
It's a weird breed with a lot of history and mythology.
