I don't know if it is or isn't, but it's not a good idea safety wise, you can't have them around small children or pets, as their natural predatory instincts take over.

there's a thread on this already - apparently they can't really be tamed.... sure there isn't a domestic dog you like?

 

[sha_luvz_pythons]

ok,
but what about if i like grew it up from a puppy?

 

[sha_luvz_pythons]

nah its not domestic, i dont have 1 but there just nice dogs.
lol

brb in 15 min

Even if you get them from a puppy, they don't tame, just like wolves and foxes

The reptile center near where i live keeps 4 or 5.. they seem pretty tame but they are kept in a large fenced area.

THey can seem tame - and then when your back is turned maul you. They really can't be trusted.

A relative looked into getting them, apparently you can keep them in Vic but you need a pest permit? There are also minimum caging requirements and they must be fully enclosed. They are also not cheap for a pure bred one.

A guy across the road from me owns a pure alpine dingo, very docile and quite dog ( quite meaning friendly, as dingoes don't bark) though he had to put up 8 foot cyclone mesh fences to stop it escaping, as it jumped his 6 foot fences. He walks it many Km's EVERY day.

A DINGO STOLE MY BABY!!!!! :lol:

 

[bylo]

I have a friend who has them on a property and he said they howl all night so if your thinking of getting one consider the noise

 

[JasonL]

Yeah, I think there are many better options, not an ideal pet.

 

[aiden.w]

Alot of the Dingos i've seen are not pure, they have interbred with domesticated dogs. I think it would be hard to find PURE dingos even if you could keep them legally.

Get a blue healer or kelpie about the closest you will get lol.

 

[herpie boy]

you can keep them in victoria, you are required by law to have a 10ft fence or caged encloser. they can be tamed and i would trust one of them over a bull arab or anyother pig dog ,thousands of people keep them in suburban back yards with kids(morons).the ones at healsville sactuary are gorgeous

You will looking at around 1k for a pure bred pup
