The Carolina dog, also known as a yellow dog,^[1] yaller dog,^[2]^[3]^[4] American dingo,^[3] or Dixie dingo,^[3] is a breed of medium-sized dog occasionally found feral in the Southeastern United States, especially in isolated stretches of longleaf pines and cypress swamps. Efforts to establish them as a standardized breed have gained the Carolina Dog breed recognition in two smaller kennel clubs and full acceptance into the breed-establishment program of one major kennel club.

Originally a landrace breed,^[5] the Carolina dog was rediscovered living as a free-roaming population by I. Lehr Brisbin Jr.,^[6] though originally documented in American dog-related publications in the 1920s.^[7] Carolina dogs show admixture with dog breeds from east Asia.
