Australia's dingo populations are more closely related to ancient lineages that pre-date European colonisation than with modern dog breeds, according to a new DNA study.

Funny how simply rebranding them as "wild dogs" in order to be able to more easily kill them doesn't actually make them hybrids...

 

Anyone who has worked with dingoes can tell you that they are significantly different to most domestic dog breeds. I'd say they are most similar to the Shar Pei, which is itself an ancient breed and has distinctive qualities not found in other more popular domestic breeds.
