Rampurhound?

Magyar Agar?

Mid Asiatic Tazi?

Sorry this happened. We were considering a house sitter for a 5 day trip but decided against it. The neighbours are must more trustworthy and we'll board the ones who might cause some issues.

Show off :laugh: But seriously those are awesome

A lean to of shade cloth or you can get the less stable white shade tent thingies.

I love the greyhound jammies lol! They look so cozy. :D

Our runs are basic, they have gravel, then granite and we put rice straw down during winter as well at their beds. they're completely covered as well with 2 sides partially meshed in and a mesh door so they get lots of fresh air but the sun doesn't reach the whole cage during summer.

I'm thinking of breeding meat rabbits...but then they'd have to die and they'd all have names and I'd probably cry whilst I ate them.

Oh that's why he catching them, only young ones, they haven't learnt the wily ways of the wabbits yet.

Just regular worming, also seriously try to grab them before he mauls them, then you can have the best meal EVER

It has "Company name" that's where I put my stud name. I know what you mean though, they need more character boxes.

OMG, imagine being stuck with a twilight theme named pup I'd wait for the next litter

You can make the same argument for most exotic pets. But it doesn't fly in a lot of cases. A "pet" dingo is still a pack animal is it? Is it fair to keep one as a solitary pet? If you desex it (as surely a responsible person would outside of a zoo or sanctuary) then it's lost to the gene pool. I have never really gotten the idea that the best expression of love or fascination for wild animals is owning one. Not quite as bad as sticking their heads on your wall but unless you keep them appropriately to their species then I say don't keep them at all. If you 'rescue' a dingo pup, there are avenues beyond keeping it as a pet to ensure it's safety. Dingoes are known to hunt alone a lot of the time so pack theory is weak at best, I'll try and find the study I was reading about it the other day. Other dogs can become a valuable 'pack' if indeed the dingo is a pack animal as they do get along quite well usually. I still don't consider a dingo a 'wild' animal and most textbooks don't either. They are not considered a 'true' wild dog in a lot of a scientific circles. Also the dingo's ability to adapt is there to see plainly, from the pet ones I have viewed since I started researching this topic they seem happy, well adjusted and content animals. Yes they have more acute senses that need special handling and care but dingo savvy people can provide that.

So because Azaria (RIP) was killed by a dingo, an individual dingo, you are now condemning the whole dingo race as wild, untrustworthy creatures that should remain where they are? I fear you have had very little to do with a well raised pet dingoes. err no, thats not what i am saying, or said??? - YOU made that up all by yrself - drinking?? does the word "race" apply to non-humans?? anthropomorhising??? OK don't get rude.

A lot of people end up with dingoes because they handrais them after their mum is shot. Would you rather they're euthanised so they don't have to live in a pet home?

Who are you to tell people what they can own though? Who are any of us to dictate what someone else should own. Most of the reasons we own animals are selfish ones, we rarely get a dog just for the dog, so why is it any different for dingoes? There is a difference between domesticated animals and un-domesticated animals. I don't know if anyone can really ever "own" a dingo - maybe "tolerated" :D I've not had many interactions though! I sometimes look at my maremma and think "I don't really own you" But we have agreat relationship.

They haven't been selectively bred for many of the characteristics people expect in a pet dog and the challenges of keeping one safe and happy would be beyond many potential dog owners. But not every owner. Many people would be able to house a dingo and many people would not. Orrd is saying that no one should or has the right to. I'm simply saying that many dingoes can live long and happy lives with dingo savvy people in a proper set up

Differences of opinion are fine.Labeling a whole village across the world "sick,sick, sick isn't all because a wolf doesn't behave as you are told they do,or as some hybrids even. Our village ended up with hybrid pups being born when a wolf wasn't afraid enough to avoid human habitation.I was the 1st to report a sighting that wasn't taken seriously because of my age.In broad daylight,across the road from our house.We watched each other for about 10 seconds before he melted into the trees.The "dog" who 1st got the blame for the litter MAY also have been a hybrid.He used to pull a sled in winter and a small wagon in summer,often with the neighbourhood kids.He lived with kids and wasn't a fearfull dog ,digging holes to hide.Nor were the pups. Things aren't always black and white. Kinda jealous of your childhood, it sounds like Balto.

Well different breeds for different people. I would not be happy with a dog that was push button, so I have my challenging breeds like my maremma. Others have their Tibetans, their huskies, their Malinois etc. Every breed suits a different type of person. If Dingo traits can gel with a particular individual and if that person can provide a balanced and fulfilling lifestyle for that Dingo then why not? Feral and Wild are two very different things, feral is derived from a once domestic species and carries genetics that were modified to suit man, wild carries no such genes and is only originated from wild.

I know of a lot of musterers who deliberately breed kelpies with dingo blood because they have the stamina and bite to keep up with wild goats and cattle. I didn't realise you could get black and tan dingoes? Surely they're not pure?

Because someone doesn't agree with you, doesn't make their 'tone' grating (how you read tone into a post written on a forum is totally up to you anyway). While I might not agree with all their points, I too am against the vast majority of people keeping exotic/wild animals for pets too. It isn't for the animals benefit - it is for the person's. A camp dingo is very different from a dingo living in the burbs because 'OMG it is soooo cute". I find their tone grating because they're labeling everyone who has a pet dingoes as selfish attention seekers basically. A lot of people would disagree with having a LGD as a family pet in suburbia as well, it doesn't mean it can't happen and it certainly doesn't mean you want it for status or "novelty". If people can provide a dingo with a good life, with everything it needs, then it sure beats being shot by a farmer. Dingoes are NOT wolves, Dingoes are descended from domestic Asiatic dogs and are basically feral and not truly wild. The notion that everyone who owns a dingo is cruel is what I find grating.

Haha! I've met a few good ones. Torque's dad's name is Dealer and her mum is Swan. My friend has one called Stitch which I like.
