THE DINGO - Dangerous Baby Killer?

[@hipocampelofantocame]

I once rescued a small dingo puppy chained in a parking lot. She became very loyal and protective of her parents, and related well to the other dogs, and they're not pets, but great companions. She was suspicious of unknown folks, and lived out her life at home and died of old age. I miss her.

I'm from the states & just had my 120lb wolf hybrid pass away from old age. The sweetest, kindest & most protective loyal friend I'll ever have. It's only been about 2 months & I miss him every day! My animals aren't pets they are family, I was his alpha & he was my brother.

[@carolweideman1905]

I am 68 years old but when I was 16 I knew a man that owned a Dingo. It was sent to him in the US by his son in Australia. Exotic animal exports were easier then. Beautiful animals and yes, Bear was loyal and protective also. To get to know Bear you had to let him accept you on his own terms as he was suspicious of strangers also. I got to know him. As the owner told me are still a wild animal and like any wild animal should not be owned unless you know what you are doing and are prepared to accept the responsibility.

[@glenngoodall3101]

Unfortunately in Queensland Dingoes are classed as an invasive species and you are not allowed under any circumstances to own, house, possess. I have tried finding ways around this but no permits exist at all, even to help wounded or starving animals. I have travelled all over Australia and had many wild Dingoes approach, lay near me and even one woke me up in the desert licking my face and then remained friendly when I got up. They are beautiful animals with such a beautiful personality; and they love to talk ! It would've been nice to show them communicating with their husky like talking in the video. Good job Joshua and Great video to all involved.

[@avivamae5171]

I absolutely love dingos!! I was just watching a documentary yesterday about how the dingo is so vilianized and being killed off, especially by farmers who raise sheep and cattle. What I found so frustrating was these farmers were talking about killing off the dingo like they are doing something good for the environment claiming that Dingos aren't a native species (which they definitely are and have been for 3000+ years). What's mind boggling is they are making this argument for killing them off for being non-native all while breeding and raising hundreds of thousands of sheep and cows for profit. Sheep and cows that ABSOLUTELY are NOT native species to Australia, and of course the farmers all pretend not to notice that fact. It's so clearly about their profit and I wish they would just be honest and say that and have an intellectually honest conversation rather than this nonsense. If they were to be honest then it might be easier to find solutions to their problems. It's great that this video touched on the fact that dingos often come to these farms or near humans looking for food because we have destroyed the natural food chain in their environment so our destruction is actually forcing the Dingos closer towards us It breaks my heart to see how dingos are treated when they are such a fantastic animal, same goes for foxes especially in the UK with fox hunting even though it's supposed to be banned.

[@octavia7408]

These farmers themselves are not even native in Australia which is soo ironic for them to say that. The Dingos are very much misunderstood as much as the other dog species prevalent in this region like the singing dogs in Papua and some other misunderstood dogs in Indonesia/Philippines which are very similar to dingos but not well researched.

Keep in mind they are still wild animals. I would never put my face close to one. I bred working Australian Cattle dogs (commonly called ‘Blue Heelers’ in the U.S.A.). My current and last one nearly tore my face off two years ago. I love him and he also is my protector (long story). I also had a timber wolf/Malamute cross for about six years. The ‘ACD’s would take on any bull without reservation (and yes one did save my life when I was cornered by an older bull’). If you were to observe their ferocity in defending what they perceive as theirs, you would appreciate my view in being careful. I do not intend any animosity toward wild, partially wild or ‘domesticated’ dogs, just healthy respect.....Gary in Michigan U.S.A.

A misplaced Dingo is a great family pet, but do your homework. They are a big commitment like any pet, they need the stimulation of lots of walks and company in the domestic home. They are not dogs - and you need to work with them and learn to understand their unique needs. They can be a wonderful family pet, and live with other pets with the right approach and patience. You will be well rewarded for the investment.

Dingos are domesticated dogs turned feral, genetically similar to the Chinese village dog, brought to the continent by humans 3500 years ago. They are not a separate species. They are a breed that developed in isolation - kind of breeding themselves back into the ur-dog. They still deserve protection. We have an dog that allegedly has some dingo in her - an Australian cattle dog.

[@JK-dj1zj]

The Dingo sounds alot like the Canaan from Israel. The Canaan is also a wild dog much like the Dingo. Their lands in Israel are disappearing too. That's why some of the Canaan's were shipped here to the U.S. in the 1960's. Canaan's are very loyal and are family pack orientated and very intelligent. The Dingo and some Canaan's look alot alike in color, and size, but the tail gives the two differences. While Canaan's curl their tails upward, Dingos have their tails straight and down. Too bad Dingo's can't come here to the states, I'd adopt a couple of them.

Was that a tazmanian tiger at the beginning of the video.

[@gustavmeyrink_2.0]

What's with the Thylacine casually walking through the picture at 0:29?

[@naturecole]

Yeah wtf there extinct or are they ??

[@0MoTheG]

They are more pet than wolfs, they seem willing to stay around people for longer and less weary of new people.

A very pleasant surprise indeed. I have visited Australia and loved the country but the idea of treating these animals as pests was - and is - abhorrent to me. It is such a pity to wipe out a species as has happened so many places in the world. Many warm Congratulations and Thanks You to Joshua Said for his wonderful work for the Dingo.

you mean like the Tazmanian devil that trots by in the beginning of this video ar 28 seconds?

[@normankaton6013]

Great video, thank the All Mighty, for this Man!!!

[@onthefencefilm]

They certainly are amazing animals. I have a lot of videos on my channel about dingoes if you want to learn more!

[@KAZUYADOG]

Keep up the good work Josh,try your best to change the Oz pest perception.

[@keltiqrennee]

dingoes are beautiful... if I lived in Australia I would definitely get one... because they do have wonderful personalities... I do own a Queensland heeler red merle and I absolutely love her and she's still got some of the personality of the dingo that was used to breed with other dogs...she's been my service dog for 13 years...she has just been a marvelous marvelous animal...

I have a Carolina dingo Canaan. It was a lot to get used to at first...he was supposed to be a Shepard husky. He's very aggressive..but also sweet. It reminds me of him..he loves to cuddle and give kisses. He bit quite a few people..I had to keep him put up. He's my favorite 🐕. He has land to run now. He's so smart! He opens water bottles. Doors. He knows if he's had a table scrap before..they have so much more personality than any other dog I have ever had.

Any news on that thylacine?

[@hannahcohen1530]

I adopted a dingo from a rescue center in NC about 14 years ago. Lobo looked exactly like some of your dingos there. - not like Carolina dingos. I trained him to be a companion dog for my mother with Alzheimer's. He got up with her in the night , stayed with her if she wandered off and then my Mom would follow Lobo back home. One cold morning, I found my tiny Mom curled up with Lobo in his bed and he was keeping her warm. Last January I had to put him down because he was suffering with hip displasia. I really miss him and that is the reason that I watch shows like yours.

[@inukshuksixtyfour1164]

My deepest sympathy...Your Lobo must have been a special boy by the love you convey. How is your Mom doing?

[@yvonnehalstead6189]

Hi I can't believe how friendly dingos really are they are amazing I can't believe you can just them and give them kisses just like a dog I love them and dogs and cats and every other animal that's here on the earth and humans of course if it was possible to talk to a dingo what he say anyway they're so nice

[@nakyer]

Was the dark colored one a dingo? I'm only familiar with the tan/golden ones.

[@donutdog5326]

nakyer it is a dingo. A tan coat is more common for a dingo so that’s why you’d usually see the tan ones.

[@jay6817]

So what's up with the CH fake Thylacine (Tasmanian tiger) that's thrown into the video about dingoes 29 seconds in ??
