Yes Weasels, you are right about commitment, a dingo is not a dog you can just leave alone in the back yard. Their mind is always active and they are always trying to think of some crafty or cunning trick to play on you. :D Zara has the run of the yard and house and there is almost always someone at home to keep an eye on her.....My Yorkie comes dobbing on her if she breaks any rules, like getting on the lounge or beds etc. Zara understands quite quickly what is expected of her, but still likes to bend the rules. They are not a dog you could or in my opinion should try to "crate train" confinement goes against their wild side. If we do have to leave her alone for a couple of hours here or there we have constructed a large enclosed area for her, we learned that nothing else would keep her in the yard. While we are home she never tries to get out, but as soon as we went out she would quickly devise a way to escape the rear yard no matter what we tried, once out she would not go anywhere just sleep on the front patio, It was enough for her to prove she had outsmarted us again.

Yes she is pure Alpine Dingo. The breeder has the paperwork for the DNA testing. My son came across the breeder while he was researching the breed on the internet (we are from NSW). The breeder owns both the Dam and Sire so got to see both. They were living with the breeder in a domestic situation and had quite good temperaments. She is already a lot bigger and more her adult shape than the photo I posted will try to get one in the next few days.

Hi, after a lot of research my son purchased a Dingo puppy a few months ago and so far couldn't be happier with his choice. They live with us and I have a 2kg Yorkie and they get along great (so far). We spend weekends on a property and had concerned about the livestock and her recall, but she is fine with the horses, cows, sheep and goats. She even shares the backyard during the week with an orphaned lamb that needs bottle feeding. Zara has completed puppy school with honours and is training for her Canine Community Award through our Obedience Club. They certainly are not for everybody, but if you are willing to put a heap of time and socialising into them I think they can be a great pet. I will update you if things go bad
