persephone Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 he's gorgeous , and I bet he has been judged on pricked ears and coat colour tell people you have had him assessed and he's a kelpieX ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheena Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 We live in an area that frequents dingoes & I think the only thing about your dog that resembles a dingo is the colour, even that's wrong, with the colour of the tail & the muzzle which usually has a fair bit of whitish shading. I think his ears are way too big for a dingo. Mind you I think you have to go a long way to find a pure bred dingo to compare him with these days, as most of them are hybrids.

PuddleDuck Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 ..and you are selling because you THINK that maybe he has some dingo in him, and your wife is worried? Pretty much, the wife is stressing. And the neighbours seem funny. As if they think he's going to eat a baby. But he is so friendly he'd probably lick you to death! To be quite frank, I doubt he has an ounce of dingo in him. He's not an F1 crossbred and I think I'd not be surprised to see popular breeds like ACD, Labrador and GSD in the mix. To rehome based on what he "might" be as opposed to judging him on behaviour seems pretty harsh. Tell everyone he's a Labrador cross and keep him. Where did you get him? Agree with this, as I said earlier I've met a lot of crossbreeds (mine included!!) that looks like that and are certainly no dingo crosses! However if you decide to convince your wife to keep him, try to avoid tourist areas because we often get stopped by tourists convinced doof is a dingo, no matter what I try to tell them they are certain he is a dingo. I would say there are photos of my dog with various random tourists spread all across the world! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mixeduppup Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 I don't see any dingo. I see lab, shepherd and a touch of kelpie. Kelpies come in cream too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kavik Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Cattle Dog? Lab? GSD? Kelpie? In the end though it doesn't really matter, what matters is the dog's temperament. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
persephone Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 I n the end though it doesn't really matter, what matters is the dog's temperament. and he looks to have a lovely smiley attitude :) (I guess adding 'dingo' to a mix makes it seem a MUCH cooler dog to own ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
