Dingo: Wild Dog at War - Full Documentary

The great white Sharks of Guadalupe - • The great white Sharks...
Farmer and canine advocate Dave Graham hunts for solutions to the dilemma surrounding Australia’s native canine, the Dingo. As Dave crosses Australia, he learns more about how the dingo fits in the Australian landscape: devastating to landholders; a keystone species in the food web of Australia; a canine caught mid-way in evolution from wolf to dog; and perhaps one of our best chances for preserving an ecosystem faced with an escalating number of native animal extinctions.

I have a dingo. He is literally the best dog I've ever had, hands down. Smart as a whip. Agile, extremely obedient and fierce.

[@savagegtalks5912]

I asked, why can't you take some dingo's with the best traits and train them to become live stock guardian dogs over a few generations? a dog is a dog, they adapt to whatever pleases their humans, even if it goes against their nature. We done this before with other breeds to shape them into what we needed. 1/3 of my job is with huskies, I train them to not pull while on runs.... if I can get huskies to not pull while they run, why can't some Aussies train some dingo's to protect their herd? it's repetitions, not magic. You put in the work, you get the results.

[@robcoastalga8279]

@SavageGTalks Yep. Found him on a 1700 acre undeveloped tract of land I was surveying. He was probably 5-7 months old. Had been injured. I stapled him up right there. Took him home and gave him an IV and got some antibiotics from the ag vet. A week later that vet stopped by the house and told me that he wasn't a dog. Lol well a dog but not bred by, born for or near any humans and neither is his bloodline and recent time. He is great. He has a strong vibe sense and following vibe check if needed. I put him on a shock collar day 3. He only needed a few shocks to understand nics and a few nics to understand vibrate. He killed a beaver the other day. I had no say in it... it was over before I knew he after it. He will stop me in my tracks for snakes and will chase anything off. Cool with the pet cats and is nice to kids. He also always knows where the truck is. If I get turned around for a minute... I can just say " truck" and off we go. He'll take me right to it.

[@robcoastalga8279]

@SavageGTalks yes if you can train a husky... you'd have no prob with a Carolina dog or a dingo. This dog literally breaths to run and please.

When I first started watching this documentary I was confused Why didn't shepherds use livestock guardian dogs They've been used in other countries for thousands of years but by the end I was relieved that you finally figured it out. I am a goat herder in Kansas United States and I use livestock guardian dogs to 100% effectiveness against coyotes which is our dingo in the plains.

[@paulcryer7817]

Arian Wallach's and Adam O'Neal's comments about healthy pack structure - where experienced dogs teach younger ones - (resulting in reduced human/wildlife conflict) is fascinating. This has applicability to Southern African stock farmers with respect to wild dog and jackal. It makes one re-think all aspects of human/wildlife conflict. Thank you for a thought provoking documentary

[@m74796]

Same exact thing with the wolf in Yellowstone. When they kill the leader the rest of the pack separates and goes out and starts killing their cows

[@LouiseStastny]

We have a Dingo cross here in the US after bringing her here from Doha...she's very protective of us so we have to make sure she's never around other people. They have a beautiful fenced yard to keep all our dogs safe. We love her and it's a huge responsibility owning these dogs.

My favorite friend was a dingo. My friend found her as a pup in New Mexico. I adopted her and she saved my life at least three times from human attackers. Very hard to train, but they are loyal. She would let my toddlers crawl over her, pull her ears and tail. When she had enough...she would simply get up and leave. Even when it was very cold, at a campfire she would hang back in the darkness in order to see what's going on outside the light. Very protective. Best dog I ever had....or maybe she had me.

Excellent doc' . I'm reminded of the reintroduction of wolves to Yellowstone, the cascade of effects was amazing with the increase in so much biodiversity. Also the effect the reintroduction of beavers in various places, always seem to have the same positive effect. But of course I'm not a farmer so my perspective is bound to be different. Lets hope they work it out. Damn but those Dingos are cute. 😄

[@Linda-vw8xu]

The reintroduction of wolves into Yellowstone National Park (USA) has greatly benefited the entire eco-system there. I imagine the Dingos of Australia serve the same purpose. They are a vital part of the entire system.

[@sharonrimsza7960]

And they are not a ‘dog’. Canine yes, but not a dog or wild dog. A wild dog is a feral dog.

[@michaelpcooksey5096]

I differentiate between the smaller Dingo and the Wolf. Wolves are known to have hunted human beings ... and still do when the opportunity avails itself. Putting them where tourists come and go is completely irresponsible to my mind. If its a park ... then it needs to be safe for human beings ... or relabel the area. Maybe 'Wildlife Preserve' i.e. enter at your own risk!!

[@Legion-xq8eo]

@@michaelpcooksey5096 with Buffalo, elk, deer, and many other large prey items we’ve not had a huge problem with wolves hunting humans in Yellowstone. If it does happen it sure doesn’t make the news which I’d think it would. Not saying it hasn’t ever happened but not much meat on a person compared to much easier prey with more meat for them!

[@Legion-xq8eo]

@@michaelpcooksey5096 tbh I’d say we have a bigger problem with Buffalo killing ppl because city slickers don’t understand or truly respect wildlife and get to close trying to get a selfie or picture

[@michaelpcooksey5096]

@@Legion-xq8eo Yes, that makes a lot of sense. I would not expect much to become evident unless the wolves become stressed due to diminished animal food sources. At the same time ... carnivores are carnivores aren't they. I recall reading an episode from Tom Brown 'Tracker' or 'Way of the Scout' where a 7-10 year old child became separated from their family by lagging behind the group on the trail. He came to a fork and went the wrong way. His trail roughly paralleled the group so sound carried with yelling out and neither was aware of the problem. Eventually the group discovered the child was missing. Tom was called in to track the boy. He was able to do so discovering the boy's error and followed his trail for quite awhile ... until he discovered mountain lion prints tracking the boy. He went further ... but sensed the boys tracks no longer promised life at the end. It was a sad end for the family; with mindset of walking in a city park instead of raw nature.

[@nohillforahighstepper]

Here in Wyoming, we have a considerable population of coyotes, bears and the occasional pack of wolves. We loose lambs and calves to coyotes every year. But we have adopted the use of Great Pyrenees dogs, donkeys and llamas for protection against predators. Donkeys and mules are great for keeping bears away. Great Pyrenees dogs are great at keeping coyotes away. Llamas are great at alerting the herds and/or flocks and they will also stand their ground. All of these protection animals live with the herds and flocks 100% of the time. About the only defense we have against wolves is donkeys and mules....and of course our rifles. But it is a constant battle to assert our domain over the predators. Especially when lean times are on hand.

There are dingoes in the Americas too: read the description of "old Yaller" in the book. 'an Indian dog...' A friend got one from the Humane Society in Tucson that was from a pit den just outside the Tohono O'odham reservation in Arizona. Another friend got one on a climbing trip to a canyon in NW Mexico. They all behave similarly when adopted as a pup. Tolerant of humans, not real sociable with other dogs, and they'll range in front when you're out in the bush, but staying near. There are also wild dogs in the Chaco jungle in NW Coastal Ecuador that are yaller sometimes, but more often fawn brown.(better camo in the jungle?) Again, same behavior, they love to go walkabout with you. An Aussie friend who did some agricultural consulting in Viet Nam (his dad was killed there in the war) said he saw yaller dogs on an island there. Could be that yaller dogs spread north AND south from SE Asia to Oz and the warmer parts of the Americas with the humans in their big canoes?

[@DreamPantomime]

I have an American Dingo (aka Carolina Dog, aka 'Old Yaller" dog) that is originally from North Carolina and he's something else! I can't get over how similar in personality and looks he is to the Australian Dingo and yet so tolerant of humans and kids. Very "talkative". Amazing family dog (very pack oriented) but clearly has a wild streak...I've had him near 10 years now (!) and he still acts and has the energy of a wild puppy. Loves to poop on top of tall plants too lol.
