A dingo is just a dog. Some will be very wild some wont be. Some will have a high prey drive others wont. A good breeder can breed the "wildness" out of them and what your left with is......a dog! All dogs are trainable IF you put in the time and socialise them propley. I have heard that you need to get them younger that you would do with a domestic dog, 5-6 weeks instead of 8-9.
If your not really into dogs then why get one? A dog (dingo,shepard whatever) is a life time commitment (theirs) not just a whim. It sounds like you want one just for the "Coolness" factor, to show off to your mates, not because you have an interested in the breed.
i've worked with dogs for nearly 15 yrs and the experiences i've had with Dingos have been great. I also had a dingo X red heeler when i was growing up and he was an awesome dog, best guard dog ever but could escape from anything.
Theyre highly intelligent dogs, almost too smart.
I do agree though that they're not the kinda dog that would make a good "pet".
I've never heard of the wildness being bred out of them, it is just natural instinct that comes with that breed. Eg: a foxy will always be a good mouser because it is in the breed, or a kelpie will always show an intrest in livestock.
Keep researching the breed, or get one that is crossed with a dingo ( not for some, i know) but if your not a dog person then just stick to your herps.
They are actually a dog..just a different breed of dog..Like a basenji or any of the husky / spitz type dogs,they are old ancient breeds, different but still the same animal.dingo's actually aren't a dog.
hey all, just found out that it was perfectly legal to keep dingos as pets... so now of course, i want one!
