I never seen what I would call a true dingo on mainland Australia while I was there more feral crosses from pigging dogs only place I seen what was a true dingo was on a island I can see we're the lad is coming from but any Australian farmer I met would not tolerate them they were all shot on site even had too kill a few myself a group of pups that I seen grow up I used too see them every morning going past a part of river in the tractor till they were bringing down steers they had no fear you would see the ones they brought down were always the weaker of the stock but the sheer power these steers would be 1000kg the worst ones are the brumbys the wild horses are always being shot they were never being eating or doing much damage there the biggest shame

Going by that documentary, it is possible for farmers and dingos to live side by side, personally, i would hate to see them gone, however, i don't farm their and live among them.

It seems to me from the several clips on you-tube i have watched, the feral dog, cross breeding with the true wild dingo, will be the down fall of the dingo, same as it happened in italy with wolves.

The farmer that had several years of hardship from wild feral dogs killing his sheep, seem to be getting on fine with marino dogs he got to protect the flock.

I hope the dingo will continue to survive, as it seems every hand is against them over their! Bare in mind, the country was wild 200 odd years ago and the native aboriginal people co existed with the dingos quiet well, until the white man came and fecked it all up!!

i was thinking the same , what great hunting dog the dingo is(fast,strong,clever,great stamina) put that to greyhound what feckin great lurcher you would have, plus there not over big, so nice size to hunt any quarry. They say the kelpi+a/c/d got dingo in them ,but they got other breeds in as well. I mean a straight x dingo x greyhound, if it was bidable what a great lurcher it could make.

A wee clip below, of fors and against the dingo and how it explains the problem with dingos crossbreeding with feral dogs, this seems to be one of their down falls. !

yeh seems that way, more like the amount of x dingos than the pure ones.It still might give good genes to a greyhound regards as hunting dog though.? was watching program where they use Kangals to keep big cats a way, if they had them in Oz round sheep farms, would help to control the dingos better than them other dogs thry had in the vid.My mate been to Turkey and seen them ,and they will kill wolves Kangal very powerful dog .compare to alot of breeds

i think the above more of a show dog, where as the Kangal is still just bred for work, they are simlar but bit differnt.They have x the to breeds but the proper Kangal is differnt dog.

I see. When i use to live their as a kid, some 40 odd years ago, the karabash was a out and out working dog that lived on some very remote mountains and protected vast sheep flocks. I have lost contact with a lot of turkey, so its sad to hear, in that time, the breed has become a show dog, although id say they still work them, prehaps not as much, More than likely, the breed you mentioned bird, is worked more as you said.

I have a few old videos and dvds of dingoes; two are with Rob Bredl (the barefoot bushman) and one is Wildlife on One and they all seem to be saying the same as above i.e. it's not so much the dingoes that are a problem but rather the crossbreds.

 

One of my kelpies is cream and is very dingo-like in appearance (and demeanour). I've been told two different stories about why the creams are fairly rare and my guess is that it's a combination of both. Some say that when the kelpie was originally being developed all the cream pups were put down as many were trying to deny the addition of dingo blood...though not all dingoes are cream and you can even get black and tans! I've also heard that creams are frowned on by some as they don't stand out as much against the dead grass background colour so subsequently need to work that much harder to move the sheep. This kind of makes sense as many who say they don't like creams in general then go on to say that a particular cream is one of their best working dogs.

Do you mean the Bredl ones? One was shop brought and I think it's part of a series called Killer Instinct and the other was taped from The Discovery Channel in 1999.
