Where we live this would be a 'Carolina dog' which is like a mountain cur. Basically both of these are mongrel dogs that are a mix of everything and they revert to the wild dog type which is medium size, almost always the color of Sadie, thin, athletic and often skiddish or shy. They are smart and long lived, having learned to survive in the wild for generations. These are the most common type of feral dog and each region has a local name for the breed. So yes Sadie is a happy beautiful Mountain Cur. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to help you get answers to your veterinary questions.
