Folks, I have stumbled onto this board by searching "Carolina dogs" using Google. I didn't know any other way to speak up but to click "reply" on the last message on the page. If you can tell me how to learn to use this board, it'd be much appreciated. Is there this one long thread, or am I missing a much larger area on Carolina dogs?

Anyway, I am excited to see that Carolina dogs are being discussed somewhere! My wife and I just took a wild Carolina dog, Lita, from I. Lehr Brisbin, and have had her about five weeks now. To bring her home, we had to use a snare pole to catch her from Dr. Brisbin's kennel in Aiken, SC and put her in a crate for the drive home to Atlanta.

From an extremely frightened and cautious little girl, she's made big gains, but still has a long way to go. I would very much enjoy being able to discuss Carolina dogs with you folks, and would especially enjoy hearing from someone who has taken a wild dog home to tame.

My wife and I are about to begin construction on a pet boarding kennel here in the Atlanta metro area, and we're looking forward to breeding Lita with, as Dr. Brisbin put it, "the perfect male", once he has been found.

Also, how do you get to the Free Republic home page to this forum? Since I came straight here from Google, if I lose the link I have saved, I might have a tough time finding it again.

Thanks, y'all
