Anneka Svenska thank you :)

👍agreed

​@@WickedWildlife Hello, i have a question for you: It's true that the dingoes in the Fraser island are only "pure dingo" or "real dingoes"?

lol

If only that were the case lol

Homo Sapiens Convictus Australis. fixed it for ya.

@@Gizziiusa thats us

thanks mate!

they are actually australian wolves

@@Gam1ngM3nace ACTUALLY wrong....

its shiba inu australian cousin

Dingos look like Dingo’s

They resemble more if the ridgeback line actually but without the ridgeback

Looks like Indian Pariah to me.

1softkiss thanks :)

For real tho, and the sounds they make

I have a blue heeler and ya, I was noticing the same thing. Wicked smart animals!

you don't got a dog, you got a dongo

Ethan Peterson Underrated comment lol

So that's why the Dingos, in the wild are endangered because people keep crossbreed in them

Believe me a Dingo needs one bite of carnassal teeth to cut 40mm [1 1/2 ] inch ] webbing strap which will hold any horse alive Lawrie Winney

@GenesisGems It is endangered. Classified: Vulnerable. Easily googled.

Aus accent is very very distinct.

Reproduction is the definition of Species. This guy is changing the definition because he wants Dingos to be special

@@shadowforger2035 no it's not many different species can produce fertile offspring

@@shadowforger2035 Neanderthals were a separate species which occasionally bred with humans

Jackson Wilson Music the two are very closely related

dingo simon yeah the cows and ducks all insisted on coming up for a look

ahahahah I want to see that> Any out takes, behind the scenes bloopers ?

Dingoes have been trained for many things such as tracking cane toads Their issue is without any natural desire to please you, they loose interest in the task at hand easily

deborah gate yes it’s true and the dingo might go extinct because of it

He's fantastic!

@@leagil THANKYOU GUYS!

No it’s a common myth, there are pure dingoes found regularly all over mainland Australia

The oldest fossel is about 3500 years old, no ones knows how they got here.

Based on their relation with the people, it's likely people brought them originally.

Raami Lawrence I’m actually planning one in the next few weeks :)

Cheers man

Raami Lawrence no worries mate Keep checking back and I’ll get it up

Hailstorm K9 dingoes can certainly be raised with people and dogs (Aztec lives with me and my 7 working sheep dogs) however they need very good fencing and are not generally an obedient animals, they are often described as being catlike in behaviour In theory it would certainly be possible to domesticate then but it would take many generations and also would not be benificial to their conservation

It would be relatively easy to selectively breed dingoes that would eventually be just as tame as spaniels. One would just set up a colony of as many dingoes as one could handle and start encouraging them to breed. You select the most friendly individuals from every litter and then just breed from them. ( Its very cruel because what are you going to do with the remainder of the litters and the parents of the litters. You only keep the current friendlies at any one time. Anyone who does this should get a substantial prison sentence. ) At the end of this process after hundreds of breeding cycles you end up with a guaranteed pet. Guaranteed. These pets would have a lot of genetic bankruptcy and expensive illnesses because they come from a very small gene pool and would have the same inbreeding problems that pedigree dogs have . This process has already been carried out in Russia with wild foxes where they selected purely for neoteny. Dingoes have been separated from other dogs for a relatively small amount of time so even now they are very much more capable of being pets than wild foxes. There are many pet dingoes now in Austalia although they are a little more trouble than pet dogs. Also some interbreeding has occured in dingoes with pet dogs. I am not sure what percentage of wild dingoes is domesticated dogs. blogs.scientificamerican.com/guest-blog/mans-new-best-friend-a-forgotten-russian-experiment-in-fox-domestication/

CORRECTION. In Russia, with wild foxes it only took 40 generations. With dingoes this would take even fewer generations .

@@loisstenner123 Yes I saw that Russian study. Problem is if you domesticate dingo, it's really no longer a dingo but something very different, like the difference between gray wolf and domestic dog, you can't exactly say domestic dog is a wolf any longer. I agree with your sentiments, no need to create a domesticed dingo canid.

@@WickedWildlife Do you need to keep him on a lead and fenced?

An instant semi independent mongrel like the Asian askal

Dingoes in the wild don’t bark and despite 10 years living with domestic dogs my dingoes still don’t bark As for looks how dissimilar do two species have to look? Is a coyote a dog? Is a fox a dog? Do crocs and alligators become the same thing? Biology doesn’t work quite that simply

@@WickedWildlife It barked at 4:30!

@@billguyan9626 yelped more like I have a team of 10 working sheep dogs I’m pretty used to real barking

@@WickedWildlife I'm not trying to be smart, and I can see you're enthhusiastic about dingos, but to me a dingo's a type of dog and I can;t see how that can be disputed. If it's not a dog neither is a chihuahua or a pekinese. And as for barking/ yelping, there are cats that don't meiow - that doesn't stop them from being cats.

@@billguyan9626 Dingos are dogs, which makes them a feral animal (a feral animal is a domesticated animal that has returned to living in the wild). Feral animals aren't protected like native animals are. You're allowed to shoot feral animals, but shooting native animals is a crime. The reason some people try to claim dingos are not dogs is because they want them to have the protection that native animals have. If they are dogs,, then they're ferals who can be shot. If they're not dogs, then they're a unique species native to Australia and can not be shot. But they are definitely dogs.

News that matter it depends where you are Dingoes tested on the east coast turn out to be largely hybrids But tests done in tanami desert and strezleki desert have shown over 90% of the dingoes are pure So not rare in many places Aztec my Dingo has been DNA tested as pure

@@WickedWildlife That's real refreshing to hear

If you could message me on my Facebook page (Wicked wildlife) I should be able to help you out

Joeykm1972 Aztec comes from DNA tested parents and it’s pretty classic of an alpine type dingo But no dingoes are not closely related to dholes at all

I dont think it's even possible that a canine can breed with a dhole hyena fox etc

1sunbear so you believe wolves, jackals and coyotes are all a single species?

I don't see why not. I don't know about coyotes though because I have read that coyote/wolf crosses produce sterile offspring. However, for all I know, sometimes this cross may produce fertile offspring. After all, when Pacific Black ducks cross with Mallards, sometimes the offspring are sterile, sometimes they're not. But dingoes and domestic dogs have no problem producing fertile offspring (I used to have part dingo bitches who successfully had their own litters of pups to domestic dogs).

1sunbear nature is full of species that create fertile hybrids the coyote x wolves I mentioned earlier are always fertile (infact scientists believe the red wolf (which is a different species again) is the result of coyote x wolf hybridisation over thousands of years American crocodiles and Cuban crocodiles as well as salt water and Siamese crocodiles all create fertile hybrids

I knew some people would still disagree because it seems to be one of those topics.

I suspect 1sunbear has religious reasons for thinking they're all one species.

Not much

they sing and growl

Paschal Adiele id love to visit Nigeria one day👍

Have you had one

@@living2day617 Checkout the wild of new guinnea

dingo simon best answer for deniers

Those are invalid comparisons and are not anything similar at all when talking about dingoes and domestic dogs. All those animal comparisons you posted except the dingo and dog have millions of years of evolutionary separation (heck sharks are fish and dolphins are mammals) and don't have DNA studies saying they are the same, and don't readily breed and have fertile offspring and considered the same species. Dingoes are classified as Canis Lupus Dingo by the Scientific community. Dingoes are wild dogs.

Supposed to type For not From deniers, a typo. Dingoes are dingoes and dogs are dogs.

They referred them as wild dogs but they are not actually dogs. They thought they are wild dogs in the past because of appearance.

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/i799gbFh3M-rl4E.html .. Looks like a dog, but it is not a dog.

YuckyBumMcSwag haha umm thanks for the kind words but I’m sorry to say I’m taken....

Could be a mongrel Caralina, sometimes called a fake dingo

That's interesting.

Blue Husky dingoes can be kept in Victoria and Western Australia with a licence (pending enclosure requirements) In NSW they require no licence and in SA and QLD they are confiscated and euthanised Most states that allow them have Dingo groups you can contact, but I never recommend them to someone expecting a dog. Think of them like a giant cat haha

Wicked Wildlife Cheers mate and thank you 😊👍

Wicked Wildlife one more thing what do you mean by dingo groups?

Blue Husky groups like the “western australian dingo association” or the “Australian Dingo foundation”

Wicked Wildlife oh ok thank 😊

Well, Shiba Inu are domesticated dogs from Asian Wolves. Dingo are descended from the same line, which are Dholes.

@@Joeykm1972 I'm not sure anything descended from a dole being a canid in a classification of its own

A shibu was probably selective bred from an Asian dingo before the onslaught of imported mongrels bred it out, there is a new guinnea highlander that is closer to the shibu look that may have been used

Many scientists debate wether domestic dogs even evolved from the grey wolf or another species that’s now no longer around Confusingly it has more to do with where scientists draw the line then how distantly related they actually are

Alan Walsh its gone back and forth a number of times. Each time a study comes out for one over the other it swings back Unfortunately a lot of the study’s that place them back into Canis lupus are funded by the agricultural industry and its convenient for them as far as legislation goes around culling “wild dogs” if dingoes are also classed as dogs themselves

Wicked Wildlife interesting findings! My only concern for them being a species is that they have had such little time to evolve. I also subscribed

Alan Walsh thanks for subscribing mate :) I guess I’m aloud to take a dig at the agricultural sector as farm work is actually how I make a living. As for the time it takes to evolve, dingoes likely started diverging from other canids long before they reached Australia (hence we have singing dogs in Papua New Guinae that are also classified as Canis dingo (as a subspecies) However as modern dogs immigrated through Asia (around the time agriculture arrived there) the existing Dingo like animals where likely just mixed in with the new arrivals, resulting in pariah dogs of south each Asia that look Dingo like but don’t ever seem to pass purity tests

Wicked Wildlife it just occurred to me that since there were multiple moments of domestication the dingo could be another moment of domestication that ended up back in the wild

Alan Walsh very possible Although it’s highly likely that they only went through the very first steps of domestication as there is nothing in aboriginal culture about selectively breeding animals for desired traits, and they retain the generally aloof, independent nature you see in other captive but non domestic canids
