Jingle, the conversation is allowed to continue.
As I\'ve said, I was wrong. i got wrong info
It\'s actually very easy for dingoes and feral dogs to interbreed. Very few wild dingoes are actually dingoes on Mainland Australia, except for isolated populations, because of the amounts of feral dogs interbreeding with them. <br /> <br /> I have known several dingoes and dingo crosses kept as pets. Not all of them are bed or den aggressive. <br />
What state do you live in Queen? Or country? Is it liscensed?
I own a Dingo, her name is Rylee, and I love her so much. She is the best well behaved dog I have ever known.
Publishing misinformation is remarkably easy.
I had originally read this info from a book. I have a book on dog breeds and it said dingos are the only purebreeds left in the world.
<i>"Okay, okay. I'm wrong. But it's rare for a dingo to breed with a domestic dog OUTSIDE of captivity."</i><br /> <br /> Do you have a source for this? I'm very curious. The only thing I could find about that was this...<br /> <br /> "The interbreeding of dingoes with other domestic dogs is an ongoing process affecting the population of free ranging domestic dogs in Australia. The current population of free ranging domestic dogs in Australia is now probably higher than in the past. However, the proportion of the so-called "pure" dingoes (dogs with exclusively dingo-ancestry) has been in the decrease over the last few decades and is regarded as further decreasing." - <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interbreeding_of_dingoes_with_other_domestic_dogs">Source</a><br /> <br /> That would mean that most of the dingos are actually hybrids. So what would prevent them from breeding with other (regular) dogs?
<i>Until 2004 the dingo was classified as "Lower Risk/least concern" on the Red List of Threatened Species, but in that year they changed the assessment to vulnerable, as the number of "pure" dingoes had decreased to about 30% because of interbreeding with other domestic dogs. </i> From Wikipedia</b><br /> Okay, okay. I'm wrong. But it's rare for a dingo to breed with a domestic dog OUTSIDE of captivity.<br /> <i>Dingoes can be very tame when they come in frequent contact with humans. Furthermore there were and are dingoes that live with humans (due to practical, as well as emotional reasons). It is known that many indigenous Australians and early European settlers already lived alongside dingoes. Alfred Brehm reported dingoes that were completely tame and, in some cases, behaved exactly like other domestic dogs (one was used for shepherding heavy livestock), as well as of specimens that remained wild and shy. He also reported of dingoes that were aggressive and completely uncontrollable, but was of the opinion that these reports "should not get more attention than they deserve", since the behaviour depends on how the dingo was raised since early puppyhood. He also believed that these dogs could become very decent pets. </i>From Wikipedia<br> That's the only reason why they are not purebreeds. Im wrong. This topic has officialy lost meaning.
