What is a Carib Tyke?


The Carib Tyke is a landrace of dog native to the jungles of north-eastern South America. They belong to the family or type of dog called primitives or pariahs. Along with "breeds" such as the Dingo, New Guinea Singing Dog, Carolina Dog, Avuvi and others comprise a family that has been with or ancestors and remained unchanged since Paleolithic times. They were one of the early steps in the evolution of the dog from the wolf.
I will post the Official, Original Carib Tyke International Breed Club and Registry, standard at a later date but just think of a short haired, spotted dingo and you pretty much have a good idea of a Carib Tyke.
They are used by the tribes that keep them, as hunters to supply meat for the pot and alarm dogs. A pronounced prey drive is a mark of the Tyke and they should never be trusted with other domestic animals or pets. They make great hunting dogs for serious hunters in the pursuit of the following game, agouti, rabbit, hare, paca or lappe, armadillo or tattoo, opossum or manicou, peccary or quenk, wild boar/feral hogs, raccoon or mangrove dog, ocelot, bobcat, feral cat, tegu or matte, iguana, mongoose and squirrel.
