Bosun11 537 Posted May 10, 2010 Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 To much of a dog for me to want to hunt I like 'em, admire the fact that though heavily persecuted, manage to overcome. I can fully understand native Aussies antipathy for 'em but if one had to 'go', it would have to be with a bullet. Just about every other critter from down under that I could run with a lurcher, i'd run with a lurcher but a dingo..... NO! Quote Link to post

Bosun, I can see where your'e coming from; but in Oz they have a different outlook to pests from us. They built a fence thousands of miles long to keep Dingo's away from stock. They can't understand the oposition to killing feral cats that we have here; feral cats are, I think the number 2 pest down there. Foxes and magpies are very high on the list of pests aswell. I've taken feral dogs, with pure Saluki's, in the Middle East, but never went out especialy for them, and never deliberatly entered a dog to them, but sometimes it just happened, they were classed as pests, just a we class foxes, (or did !!). I may be wrong, but I think Dingo's are not as numerous as they were, and, from my point of view, it would be a pity if they were exterminated, but some farmers down there think differently. Cheers.

Ideation 8,216 Posted May 10, 2010 Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 i worked in Riyadh zoo in Saudi and there was a pack of dingos there.i always thought they would make a helluva lurcher x. they would have chewed your arm off if you tried to get amongst them but they can be domesticated so i am led to beleive http://www.thewildones.org/Gifs/dingo.gif Which would be one would be harder to domesticate???

wild rover 548 Posted May 10, 2010 Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 is it legal to hunt them with lurchers in Oz? My Dingo Quote Link to post

cathunter 8 Posted September 27, 2010 Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 Dingo's are not the main problem, it is feral dogs and the cross breds. they look like pups to me. as of the start of next month i've been told that all dingo's will be protected by law. Quote Link to post
hairybull 3 Posted September 27, 2010 Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 Depends where you live to whether its legal or not and how the authorities could word it. Some states do have them protected/semi protected. A non-bull blooded stag/lurcher could take them. That photo is possibly a couple of litters of very young dogs. Not much sport in letting 2 massive dogs kill a bunch of pups. You can have dingo/wild dog killing lurchers/stags that are fine with other dogs. I wouldnt have one as a pet nor would I cross one into a lurcher line. They are their own dog and I guarantee we would clash. Dingoes are a problem not just feral dogs. Quote Link to post
cathunter 8 Posted September 27, 2010 Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 sorry, it's only from what i've been told from a dna tested dingo breeder, so i could very well be wrong. i'll ask one of my teachers instead, that works for dse, he'll know if the law i was told about, is coming into place or not and i'll get back on here and let you know what i find out. i wouldn't keep a dingo or a dingo cross ether, got told they are a very independent animal.

Dan as stags in usa that kill yotes, and are more like a small wolf 30-40lb. Dont know how big+strong dingos are, but stags would kill i reckon, and a strong bullx grey prob would, (if) it wanted to . Quote Link to post

If dingoes are going to be protected over all australia I would know about it and be out of a job. Might just be Vic? Quote Link to post
matmorgan 49 Posted September 27, 2010 Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 rob bredl had a few dingos he had one dna tested to see if it was pure or had domesticated dog blood in it. i remember reading about how theres not many pure dingos around now,and how they were getting bigger due to cross breeding with feral dogs or lost pig hunting dogs. apparently the only pure dingos left are on fraser island.
