[falconboy]

I love dingos, can we get pics?

 

[mckellar007]

you've probably done this, but have you tried dingo care?(or a similar thing in your state)

 

[waruikazi]

Make sure you have homes for the pups before you try and breed them.

An old bloke down the road has a pure alpine dog, it's getting on a bit now, but he used to walk it EVERY day, you'd see him all the time, walking the dingo, stick in hand...my kids nicknamed him "the dingo man"..... he told me the stick was to fend off other dogs, as apparently most took a strong dislike to his dog...he also had to go to some trouble to keep it, as it started jumping over his 6 foot colorbond fence with some ease, it was going to have it put down as he didn't want to put his neighbours out with new fences ect.. but luckily his neighbours were in love with the dog and encouraged him to put up a 8 foot cyclone mesh fence inside his colorbond one..and all lived happily ever after... though now he walks a airedale terrier so I'm not sure if his dingo is still kicking..

thats awesome! i wish i could keep a dingo, but i used to like playing with the ones in the zoo i used to volunteer at.
just out of curiousity, i know you said it is a purebred, but just wondering what percentage of its DNA is dingo. the highest i've heard of is 99% which is the one i knew at the zoo, but someone smartly DESEXED IT! And i know that it is getting harder and harder to find high percentage Dingo DNA due to wild dog populations etc.
Also, i would love pics up too!

well i must be lucky as my girl gets along with my boxer x staff. Yes she has escaped twice but she always comes back.

Yes she loves her walks and yes she is a bit strange around people but she has never been naughty towards other animals and people so i am happy with her.

They also turn into a different animal when they are on the lead they allow people to come up to them and everything.

i do have a few people wanting her puppies but it is hard to find a male.

Yes i have to lock her up in a run of a night so she doesnt take anything but i always find them in her den. The thing i use to keep her in the back yard is a electicity fence. Yes i know it sounds mean. But a couple of years back i will have to see what the band is but they brought out this boundary fence. It were i put it up around a certain area where she is allow to go and she were a collar and if she passes this she gets a little shock and after a while she has learnt not to go pass there and she does try occasionally but is unsure about it its interesting to watch.

Yes dingos arent for everyone and yes they are a very different animal to socialise with but they are good once they have accepted you.

i will take some photos when i get back from holidays

are they really loyal? how much did ur dog set u back?

 

[MatE]

My mate has a pair of dingo's,i can ask him if you want next week at work.And they are a one person dog he reckons,very loyal.

 

[itbites]

Thats funny because we also have a dingo
She'll be 12-13 this year..

Although she is lovely, she is the hardest dog to keep happy!
Always trying to escape always trying to kill birds/small animals.

She is not very loyal & has always been rather selfish
They are definitely high maintenance dogs to keep..

She is very anti-social & tries to dominate most other dogs
she also goes through hell every time she's on heat!
Digging gigantic dens, whining like crazy & wandering around
looking for her phantom litter.

We love her she's such a character but definitely a hand full

I was pretty sure the very fact it is black and tan denotes it is not pure dingo.. The only pure dingoes left are on Fraser Is. aren't they?

The black and tan (and other variations) you see on the mainland comes from dingoes breeding with our dogs..

 

[itbites]

From what I understand...

They have been known to differentiate in color including

black,tan,white,brindle etc..

There have even been "reported sightings" of albino dingo's.

The most common colors are ginger though

& they also have white on the tips of their tails

EDIT* We have a dingo sanctuary down this way & I believe they have black dingo's in captivity..

Did you watch catalyst last night Phil.?
They had some very interesting looking forms of dingo living in the Blue mountains
Cheers
PS. I had a male dingo for ten years, untill he ran under a truck in 93.
Best dog Ive ever had.

I read somewhere that the dingos that live in the Daintree are mostly black as it is better camaflage in the dappled light, than ginger.

Have a mate here who is working on that population as we speak, and yes, many of them are largely black, and yes, they are also largely pure....

Folks just remember that dingoes are not domesticated animals. They are more like a wolf than a domestic dog.

 

[redbellybite]

we have them living in our backyard basically ...see them quite often and hear them too...have seen them in the sandy ,tan ,ginger and black colours ...lovely dogs but farmers kill them off every season ...and even sader they go round finding pup dens and kill all the puppies..

Id have to second that.

Amazing animals, but should not be a pet imo.

 

[Pines]

Arnt snakes and lizards wild animals that we have partially domesticated.
