Wonderful video! Great to see and learn about your happy pups. How old are they now? One question: I see that you folks have a feral cat and wild rabbit population problem on the continent. Can’t you guys use dingos to mitigate this issue? Lots of love from USA to our Aussie brothers and sisters!

Rusty is almost 4 and Jalba is 2 years old. Yes Dingoes control feral cats, rabbits and foxes but politics really hurts dingoes in the wild. Farmers complain about them killing live stock so the government pays people to shoot, traps and bait them. This probably creates more problems because when dingo packs are split up they scatter and cause even more trouble. I'm certainly not having a go at Farmers. I use a lot of products produced on farms and am grateful for their efforts. I also understand it must be quite traumatic for them to find their flocks/cattle destroyed. I just hope they can find a better way to manage the problem. A lot of specialists in the field of wildlife conservation believe just leaving them alone would be the best approach. Dingo packs would control other packs as they fight over territory and their own numbers as all predators do, by controlling how many babies they have based on how much food is available to them. They would also control grazing pests like rabbits and goats as well as natives like kangaroos and emus providing more grazing land for cattle and sheep.

@@intrepidworld I’ve heard that intact dingo family groups will teach each new generation how to behave, with the outcome being a peaceful relationship with livestock. And that when that generational knowledge is disrupted through culling, a form of cultural genocide if you will, then the subsequent youth will be essentially ignorant and behave like youths at schoolies, thus compounding perception issues. For some reason we hold onto agricultural practices and attitudes that are only suited to fertile fields with rich topsoil and consistent rains….kind of like Britain.

@@davespanksalot8413 that's interesting. The natural world is always more complex than we realise or want to give credit for especially when 💰💰 are in play. What is even more surprising is we know we have screwed up big time in the past and continue to make mistakes before we fully understand what is going on from an ecological perspective. Examples would be like when people assumed land was fertile for farming because there were a lot of healthy green natives growing in an area. So the land is cleared and farming starts only to find crops won't grow a few years later because the salt content in the ground is too high. Then the scientists come in and work out that the native plants were keeping the salty ground water in check because they can tolerate higher salt levels then wheat or corn can. Once those natives were cleared the ground water rose and the salt killed the crops. Also cane toads are another example. I really feel for the farmers who's lives were ruined in the past by humanities mistakes and hope that in future we can learn from our mistakes and give farmers a better chance at success in the future.

In short, yes dingos are used for environmental control. Some farmers have encouraged dingos on their stations for several years, while specifically targeting feral dogs and pigs. Invasive species like rabbits decreased, stock mortality dropped, native rodents and other forna populations improved. Early days but dingos do have allies. Some reintroduction into de-dingod habitat indicates improved over all ecosystems for other species as well. Interestingly, high fat meats like lamb, pork are very unhealthy for dingos.

Canis Dingo Destructo. Well put. I'm currently caring for my second wild born orphan and thankfully I knew full well what I was in for. The first few months was limited contact as I allowed him to come to me when he felt confident enough and complete destruction of anything with in reach. The most important thing was to respect what he is, where he came from and where he is now. And equally important is to know a dingo is a life long commitment, I had my last boy for 17 years and to accept that my life now revolves around him and his caring. So many people comment when they meet him that they want a dingo for a pet too. My immediate response is always no you don't, trust me. A dingo will never allow itself to be a cute and cuddly pet like a dog will and will test your patience to it's limits and beyond if you are not prepared. Long story short, you can take the dingo out of the wild, but you will never take the wild out of a dingo.

"Where you don't know where they (dingos) come form" very wise words. Wild born traits strong remain even after several captive breeding seasons. Other traits remain inate forever. My pure alpine dingo (father) x (red heeler x pure desert dingo (mother) came from a breeder who knew or owned 4 or more generations. Genetic test suggest 70 to 80% dingo. My dingo is well read 📚, voraciously decimating books, and any thing / everything else, including bike tyres and a dynema rope. A lot Patience, substitution, alternite thinking and positive reinforcements curbed this and the chewing now confines to banksia cones, sticks, Bunya nuts and other natural items plus his toys and the occasional lead or rope. Lot of positive reinforcement and time. Basically he's Houdini when it comes to any enclosed yards, but when in an unfenced area will surprisingly tend to keep to the surrounds, unless on a beach. On meeting another dingo / high content dingo, 'play' is elevated, brutal and quite disconcerting for non dingo owners, but never harmful or aggressive to the other dingo. Similarly, even as a very young pup, deferance and submission to older dingos was inate. His interaction is quite adaptable to other dogs, big small and high has a developed reguard and perceptions for interacting or not. Recall is quite poor, especially on an open beach or similar, in saying that, if I walk off, he is instantly beside me. Lots of positive reinforcement has helped. Pray drive as in stalking is very high, but healthy diet, treats and positive reinforcement curbs this, but still need to watch the chooks. He tracks wallabies and goanna, but maintains a respectful distance, and has never posed a problem to cattle and horses Keeping him in harnesses or collars is hard, nearly impossible. If he can't slip them, he simply chews them, being very flexible. Lots patience prevails and lots of training and positive reinforcement and this last harness has lasted a record 7 weeks untouched. People are either avoidant and wary or very inquisitive, negitive connotations and ignorance seem to persist, and my dingo seems to know who's who, but he and I do cop some nevitive reactions. Being my second dingo cross, (the first 50 dingo / 50 australian sheep dog), i know trainability threshold is very high, loyality is high and intelligence is amazing. Through observation he's opened some bedroom doors, the frig, oven, opportunistic but selective stealing, but time and teaching him, defining what is theirs and yours. So would I recommend a dingo or high content dingo for a pet, probably not, unless you are prepared to an extreemly high amount very hard work very, definitely on the dingos terms than yours. You will only find shredded slippers and newspapers if your lucky, but they are very affectionate and love a rough a d tumble play. Now, in saying no pet dingos, my now 10 month old dingo x healer dingo flew through his intake and 2 month assesment as well as proved that he could also sufficiently pass many of the 6 month and a portion of the 9 month requirements become a fully registered assistance animal. The asseesors and trainers have been amazed and from being sceptical to very supportive. Most dogs are over 18 months to 2 years or more. He now comes into Woolworths and many other shops, and is very popular (off duty) around town with the locals. The caviet is that this was a lot of extreemly hard work, beginning at 6 weeks old and very testing of my patience and ability to believe in myself and him to the limit. My choice because I really love dingos.

Hi Aaron, RIP seat belts, It is a lot of effort, but time coupled with continual positive behaviour reinforcement and ensuring substitutes / alternatives are continually on paw. . I use pine cones / banksia / drilled out or hollow sticks with trears stuffed in, suspended ropes with frozen chicken legs or Turkey necks in old socks, amongst many other things. Play games, Brushing a palm frond around to simulate pray, letting the dingo catch it, shake it intill it stops as if the palm is dead. Freeze meals in small portions and wrap or fold them into old towels or other items they have to puzzle through. Not one snuffle mat I've made survived. Rotten logs are great food bowls as they have to lap into into crevasses to get the full feed. Hide food at meal times in various places in the yard so they work for it. Keep that crazy dingo brain active and stimulated when they are awake. Considering how chilled they are for hours on end, boredom and mental / physical confinement during active times create escalating behaviours when stimulation is needed but not available. Remember, these guys naturally conserve energy to expend it over 2 to 8 hours in mostly mornings and evenings. Personally I found Kong type of things didn't really work, my fella ignored or destroyed them. others people found they were OK. One common thing with man made products, dingo's seem to prefer natural things, so entertain that. Sticks and gum nuts and palm fronds are free and bio (and dingo ) friendly. And as I typed this dog of mine has chewed most way through an "'indestructible" Kong and and decimated ice cube tray..... all he wanted my attention while I was taping on the phone

I also think that for wolfdog (low f-gen mid content to multigenerational selectively bred high content) owners with the right knowledge and insights, dingoes will not be a problem. They have many similarities and overlaps in behavior and characteristics. Besides wolves and wolfdogs, I personally find dingoes (and New Gunea singing dogs) to be the most intriguing and interesting canids. Unfortunately for the uploader of the video, it is impossible, or at least highly illegal, in Australia to own a wolf (prohibited to keep of course) or wolfdog... even the recognized low content wolfdog breeds such as the Czech Wolfdog and Saarloos Wolfdog, are banned in Australia .

Greetings from the US! My little Jack Russell/Yorkie mix, who has very broad shoulders, has a maneuver where he spins around & slides right out of his harness, one leg then the other, so I can only imagine how easy it would be for a dingo! Many years ago I had a G1 timber wold hybrid (neighbor with a female German shepherd left her outdoors while she was in heat & an area wolf got to her. He sold the puppies for $150 each to anyone with the cash), & while I tried to give him the best life possible, it fell well short of a good one. I let him in the house once & he DESTROYED an entire room! I had to keep him on a heavy logging chain attached to a thick cable I strung taut between two trees so that he had enough range to run a bit. He broke the chain a couple of times & went missing for days each time. One of those times, our nearest neighbor, who had a herd of cattle, nearly shot him, thinking he was a wolf. It's not fair to the animal, who is not domesticated, to keep them as if they were a domesticated dog. I understand that in some cases (like my hybrid, & your two there) you have no choice but to keep them in captivity, but I was NOT QUALIFIED to be this animal's caretaker, & I think he suffered greatly from my lack of knowledge or experience. I would NOT recommend anyone keep an undomesticated animal as a "pet" or "companion." It is so much more than you could ever imagine, & never quite enough. I hope Australia adopts some sort of permit policy for dingos. Quite frankly, I'm shocked there isn't one in place already! You seem to be doing a great job, both in caring for your dingos & in educating the public about them!

I remember coming into contact with dingos on Fraser's island for the first time and alone they were shy and weary but as soon as they had numbers they were true pack animals and their confidence went through the roof. I would say that you need to differentiate between aggression, viciousnesses and natural hunting instinct. I remember being in a sanctuary in South Africa and they had hyenas and they were all lying under the tree or rubbing up the fence and all was good until they saw a women approaching with a 5 year old kid and they just flipped into an intensely focused and couldn't keep their eyes off this kid and they all got up and started spreading out and trying to see her from different directions. These were also rescued from farmers who brought them up and then had to give them up. I know they are not the same animals but that instinctive predatory mechanism would worry me in an urban area.

So yeah super hard trying to be clear with what I'm saying while trying to monitor them at the same time. I have a 5 year old nephew that comes over sometimes and the boys get super excited but I don’t know if that's because he giggles and laughs at them or because they see him as a target. So I always keep them at an arms length or put them outside based on their body language ect. Thanks again for the comment.

@@samjones1954 the only breeder I know is the Dingo Discovery and Research Centre (DDRC) in Victoria a state of Australia on the east coast. They have all 3 eco types at their Sanctuary. There are Desert dingoes like my Rusty, Tropical dingoes potentially like my Jalba (my dingo with a missing tail) still waiting for the DNA test results and alpine dingoes. Jalba might be a mix Desert/Tropical hybrid because Desert dingoes are the only eco type that breeds with Tropical or Alpine in the wild as their range cuts through the middle of the other 2 keeping them separated. The DDRC understands that in the wild Alpine and Tropical dingoes don't mix so they keep to that practice at their Sanctuary. I'll explain, they only every pair Desert with Desert, Desert with Tropical, Desert with Alpine, Tropical with Tropical, Alpine with Alpine but never Alpine with Tropical. Which is good because you would be getting a true Dingo I guess. Desert dingoes are the smallest dingoes at around 20kg fully grown. Alpine are the largest at around 25kg and are usually the ones you see at zoos. That is what the DDRC do they breed for zoos and wildlife parks that kind of thing and ship dingoes all over the world which means they have those processes in place. I've been told they do sometimes sell to the public but go through a vetting process first. You might be able to contact them but I can't guarantee they would send you one unless you can make a good case, like maybe you have a Sanctuary and will use the Dingo for educational purposes that type of thing but yeah that's just a guess.

Rusty challenged me once by growling at me because he wanted to come in my bedroom and I didn't want him in my room. I immediately growled back and chased him out the house then locked him out and cut him off from the family till he started whimpering to come back in. That was 2 years ago and he has never challenged me or anyone else in my family since. I think he learnt his place that day. Since then they have both been great.

As a little girl she was a "crazy cat lady". In first grade when the kids were talking about their pets, she said she had thirteen cats. The teacher scolded her and sent a note to her Mother about the terrible lie. Grandma, not missing a beat, sent a note to the teacher the next day acknowledging that thirteen was not a correct count. One of the cats had had kittens and it was now seventeen. Mom always had her cats, but when a puppy attached itself to her heartstrings, she was a dog person for the rest of her life. She understood the value of a carnivorous companion, either canine or feline, and the elkhounds (she had three in sequence) seemed to understand when she needed exercise to recover from strokes or just a heating pad for the creaky joints.

I don’t agree with your reasons to “Not Have A Dingo” is more like things you should be aware of but about 2-3 of your reasons are issues you may have with any dog. I had a Carolina Dog often called the American Dingo and looks exactly like your dog Rusty and yes the prey drive is high and though I didn’t have a den digger the rest of the issues are fairly common to most athletic sport dogs. I would say the most important thing is to know if you have a Dingo/Carolina Dog or any sporting breed that you are prepared to thoroughly exercise your dog that means long walks letting them run and play a lot. A tired dog is a happy dog and when people have issues with dogs being hyper barking chewing destroying things inside their home a number of these types of issues are the result of pent up energy and aggression that needs a release. A dog after a good romp in the woods isn’t coming home and chewing the couch legs, they are napping on the floor by your feet dreaming of dinner time and issues like other dogs walking by the window which usually has your dogs full excited attention and maybe barking or whatever suddenly doesn’t matter to your dog as much because they are content happy and like I said to tired to care. Now I don’t mean take your dog on 10 mile death marches I just mean appropriate exercise for the size and breed. Most owners do not exercise their animals appropriately. And even if they have a typical backyard to run around it becomes a familiar territory and they become bored with the space and may not utilize it by themselves for their necessary exercise. Outside shouldn’t just be for the bathroom even if you have a yard a dog will still benefit from walks. Change in scenery, social interaction all help make a well rounded personality for your pet and will have much fewer “problem” behaviors.I gaurantee
@intrepidworld

Yeah for sure, I agree with you. I made this video to point out the things I potentially see people having as a problem and was showing they are similar issues that a lot of dog owners face. The point I was trying to make was if you can't tolerate these things then don't get one. In Australia there are a few issues I see. One in NSW and Western Australia you don't need a permit to own a Dingo. They are also not a protected animal in Australia which means people can take the cubs from the wild and sell them. People see dingo cubs for sale for a few hundred bucks and think oh how adorable and buy them not knowing what they are in for. No one should buy any animal without knowing what they are in for or at least trying to learn before they buy. I made this video to try show people what it is like. There are quite a few dingoes living in pounds or animal shelters that are there because people gave them up after they chewed furniture or dug holes in the yard ect. I was just trying to raise awareness to show people hey this might happen so be mindful before you buy one. For me these things are a none issue. I'm actually quite impressed by them around the home. I believed mine chewed the few things they did because they didn't know better. Since I made that video they haven't touched another thing. Rusty chewed one thing and Jalba 3 things and that was it. They have been fantastic. Thank you for your comment.

I have been quite surprised by them to be honest and have plans to make a follow up video to show their progress, once I get my USA content out the way. They are affectionate but not needy if that makes sense. If we go out as a family and leave them at home, when we get back they are super excited and greet us with a lot of affection. They try their best to mimic a "hello", we always say it to them and now they try say it back to us in a distinctive 2 tone kind of growl to replicate the 2 syllables they hear when we pronounce the word. They also wag their tails and lick our hands and cheeks. This might just be them trying to work out where we have been and if we have food but I also believe its because they have genuine joy in seeing us all back together again, kind of like when a wolf pack gets back together after being split up. When we wake up in the morning they come straight to us for a morning cuddle and a scratch. Once they have said their hellos in both situations they return to what ever they were doing and don't require any more attention. They also seem to recognize when my kinds are sad and look concerned and will approach to see what is going on. If you are interested in seeing a reaction video and if you have Instagram you could check out my intrepidworld account and look at my stories titled dingo house 2.

When strangers came around he would run and hide. Eventually the call of the wild was where he wanted to be. I'm sure a girl persuaded him.

Coyote, that interest. What kind of food can they eat? Would you feed them everyday dog food or did it have to be game meat? These 2 boys need to eat wild game because processed, fatty or starchy food makes them vomit. Even a fatty cut of stake makes them puke.

@@intrepidworld he ate right along side the family dog. Which was a mixture of dry dog food and table scraps. Mom always saved up bacon grease and poured it over the dry dog food. Gave them a very shiny coat. I really don't think there's much a coyote won't eat to survive in the wild. I'm a farmer and when corn gets to roasting ear stage, they will pull a ear and eat it. I've also witnessed them eating corn off the ground under a deer feeder. Back when dad raised feeder hogs you could walk by the pens and see (Budweiser the family dog a the time) eating right along side the hogs at one of the self feeders. As you can imagine he stayed fat as a hog.... Now days it's almost like animal abuse to feed dogs corn based food. I personally think that kind of thinking to be strange. My grandmother never bought dog food. Always made mush for them to eat. Was cornmeal cooked in a pot with all the days scraps and bacon grease. Dogs were plenty healthy.

I had a dingo called Possum that I hand raised. He was the sweetest, most gentle dog I have ever owned. Very intelligent and knew his own mind. He lived to 11and is sorely missed.

I envy you for this experience. I adopted a stray dog (>2nd generation mutt) who was already 6 years old. Not necessarily comparable, but she definitely was more wild than domesticated. Lovely dog, quite complicated sometimes, but damn: I miss her. Taught me much about working with animals. Id love to have a dingo pup, but I'm from the wrong Australia (the one without kangaroos, wallabys and hot climate: austria 😂)

My childhood dog and best friend was a dingo Aussie Shepherd cross and was the best dog I could have asked for. Her quirks? Viciously protective of me, loved to dig holes in the yard and had weird false pregnancy episodes where she would viciously defend a toy she thought was a pup. After spaying her that ended. Sweet girl overall.

Some female dog breeds have the false pregnancy thing. It's why it's recommended to fix them before the first heat. As a false pregnancy and lactating can increase risk of cancers. Meaning even if fixed and never bred same issues as a breeding dam.

get an Australian cattle dog instead, they're part dingo anyway and are handful enough to take care of. mine was an absolute sweetheart, loyal to a T, incredibly smart, but also stubborn and a maniac in terms of energy. it was fetch and wrestling all day every day, it was impossible to wear her out. just make sure to train the nipping out early on, the herding instinct is really strong. mine started trying to herd people around while still a puppy.

For those wanting an independent dog, recommend a Jack Russell Terrier. They're wild enough to try your patience, but dog enough to eventually do what you want--in their own good time. All credit to you and your family for taking on this project. Hopefully, with people like you, Australia will find a way to preserve its dingo heritage. They are a cool animal indeed, and worth saving.

Thank you very much for those words. For my family and I the dingoes kind of happened out the blue. It was not something we were actively pursuing it just all seemed to be right at the time for a number of reasons. So after several weeks of contemplation and travelling up north to meet them and spend time with them we decided to go all in. The better we get to know them the easier it is getting and we have a good routine with them now.

He and his brothers were old enough when they were found orphaned to have known where he came from.

Great video. I’ve been absolutely smashed by ignorant people for my comments about dingoes on many sites. These are a phenomenal animal but, as you say, not a pet for people wanting a pet dog. Want a pet, buy a domestic dog. I love these guys, I would happily take on another one but I’d probably be too old to be a good partner for it. I disagree about them being as untrainable as a cat but I do agree that they are very different from a domesticated dog. I personally love hunting with these guys; they’re very loyal and loving.

He’s neutered because I didn’t want to risk this happening again (the bitch was a pure dingo and the sire a neighbours pure collie). Buddy is the most amazing dog/person I’ve ever met.

He’s a total natural of a heard dog but also very independent. He looks like a border collie with a very slim body and head a bit wider than his body. Without a doubt the best dog I’ve ever seen or heard of. He’ll out work any other on the farm and happily sleep all day on the couch or under the house or preferably on my bed and is the most loyal and protective dog. He does have trouble with fatty foods, can’t digest them.
