Urgent action is required to see that the Dingo gets taken off of the vermin list and classified as a threatened species.We are all about Dingoes: Follow us on facebook;
OUR DINGOES Careful selection over many years has ensured a genetically diverse, pure dingo gene pool collection at the Sanctuary. Dingoes are either wild-born or captive-bred, ranging from all parts of Australia. Since DNA testing became available in 1994, all of the breeding lines at the Sanctuary have been subjected to molecular
So we cull kangaroos, rabbits and other animals because some say there are too many of them. But we also cull their natural predators, din...
Our wild dingoes live all across Australia, in grasslands, deserts, forests and even wet lands. "A dingo is a distinctive animal in Australia, identifiable by its erect ears, bushy tail, and neck that can arc backward into prime howling position". Still, it's difficult to tell a dingo from a dingo-dog hybrid, or even a feral dog, because natural variation within dingoes is poorly understood and mating with wild dogs may have altered the genome of living dingoes. Being able to define what a din
In relation to training dingoes and their lack of concentration, Berenice believed it is due to the dingo’s “extreme concentration ne...
Berenice believed the dingo was a primitive breed of dog not a wild dog. 1 Was she right? Will we ever know for sure? Her article he...
The dingo has a far greater impact on the Australian landscape than previously thought, new research reveals.
Leave our Dingoes alone... To win the war against the continued impacts of cats, foxes and overabundant herbivore populations, they need to move away from the current costly and interventionist approach, to one that promotes the natural resilience and resistance of ecosystems. This of course is restoring dingoes, their roles in the landscape come largely for free, by simply letting them do what comes naturally! Killing dingoes fractures social structure and behaviours, and leads to increases in

AN academic who has done extensive research on the dingo population at the Telfer Mine site, said humans are not a dingo’s natural prey.
Ecology and diet Dingoes are opportunistic carnivores and have a broad diet. Their consumption of carrion significantly aids th...
Dora and Berenice at training Berenice got her first dingo in the mid-1970s . She was a wild born pup given to Berenice “no questions asked...
Most female dingoes become sexually mature at two years but can have pups in their first breeding season. Unlike domestic dogs, din...
Is classifying the wild dog as a species good strategy or bad practice?
Dingoes Ate My Baby Gig Poster
A major study of dingo DNA has revealed the animals most likely migrated to Australia in two separate waves – a find with significant implications for their conservation.
Save Fraser Island Dingoes Inc. is calling on the Queensland Government for an independent and reliable population study that focuses on the genetic viability of their dingoes.
It’s in our nature
A new study has found that most Australian dingoes have pure dingo ancestry, certifying their importance as native apex predators rather than pests.
With the onset of the rain the Dingoes have been in fine voice. The weather forecast was for a dry day, no change in sight, reachin...
