Dingos are so maligned. If you were to threaten or corner a female protecting her pups, yes you will certainly be the focus of aggressive protective behaviours.

Supposedly they aren't desendants of Dogs, they aren't even related to Wolves, they are own their specific species. They and their fossils aren't found anywhere else in the world.

Turned being nearly 40% of not only Dingo but Alpine Dingo; obviously all Cattle Dogs have Dingo in them but his blood is substantial. He climbs trees, can rotate his head 180°, does a weird bark-howl-yodel and is aggressive...very aggressive. I actually don’t take him to dog parks anymore as he’s been in a few scraps and is what I consider to be dangerous. He’s also highly territorial; when it comes to hoofed animals, unlike other Heelers who will try to herd them, he actively preys on them, nearly catching a deer one time. I love him to death, he’s incredibly attached to me but because of most of his traits being more wild than a standard domestic dog, I have to keep an eye on him

If they've been in Australia for 3500 years, they're a native species.

[@skippyrx21]

Not by definition of the word native,

[@devashisdas5024]

native means a species evolved & developed in the same environment for long times. Dingos didn't evolve in Australia rather they came from outside, adapted in & thrived there. If they were to be native species they would be a marsupial predator likewise all native Australian animals.

[@HogBurger]

@@devashisdas5024 Yeah, and it’s a shame one of the only marsupial predators was hunted to extinct since it was inaccurately accused of killing livestock which feral dogs did.

[@greathornedowl1783]

@@devashisdas5024 Not really true. Bats and rodents are not marsupials but there are plenty of native bats and rodents here.

[@devashisdas5024]

@@greathornedowl1783 Australia has a marsupial rat too. And Bats are found in almost every other continent except for Antarctica because of their longer flying capacity & having super immunity against diseases & also having simbiotic relations with disease carrying germs. Not necessarily means that bats were native but indicates that bats spread throughout migration in Australia. Apart from the marsupial rat of Australia, the common house rats & other rodents introduced by European colonizers are now causing havoc to Australian crops & made a disaster in few months earlier.

Dingoes were the foundational breed for the Australian Cattle Dog also know as the Blue/Red Heeler. The Red Heeler looks very much like a Dingo, but stouter. They are great dogs, and extremely loyal and intelligent. They do need a strong willed owner though, because the first 6 months or so they are little velociraptors because the love to bite you with their sharp puppy teeth.

[@andrewhammel5714]

Is that the same thing as the 'kelpie'?

I have an Australian Cattle Dog who I adopted 8 years ago next month. He was about 8 or 9 months at the time. He’s the smartest dog I’ve ever had. Great instincts and the best watch dog ever. His name is Cowboy! Cowboy the Cattle Dog! 😊

I actually owned a dingo cause my mum bought one as a pup back when you could buy them, and it was the most docile dog ive been around, she was playful but at first meeting always cautious but after she sniffed your hand and you had a pat of her she opens up alot and i guess that just her breed, mostly though she was just sitting around doing nothing sometimes going out for bush walks for 2-3 days and always coming back she was just an amazing dog

The rabbit-proof fence isn't 5,000km long; the dingo fence IS, and it WAS made for dingoes. The error in the video is that she said it's to keep them out of the Southwest, but it was to keep them out of the Southeast.
