If you want a pet, a dingo is not for you. It takes a special person to become a dingo guardian and above average patience, understanding and devotion. I'm caring for my 2nd wild born orphan and although still learning every day.

Spot on comment.

My dingo girl is now 8 years old, and this is a fantastic video to show to my friends and family to understand she’s not a normal domestic dog. Thanks for doing this interview. Dingo mum, NT.

Unreal how much expression they have in their eyes. I know you've said they haven't been through the domestication process, but you can still see they already understand human emotion.

Thank you so much for spending time with me and teaching me more about these beautiful animals. You are both amazing people and I wish you all the best with your KZread Channel and future endeavors.

Dingos are amazing creatures and can I also mention that you as well are a beautiful being

Our dingo is a great pet usually friendly , runs free on farm always comes back

we've had our dingo for 9 years now and when ever someone tells me they have a dingo pup I think good luck!! She also came from a backyard breeder, there definitely needs to be a permit system in WA.

Learned so much from this video. Glad to see people doing the right things for this beautiful creature. I hope they have a great life with their human family. Great work guys and hello from the States.

Lovely fascinating interview. I was pumping water at a remote well 800 KM west of Alice Springs and a beautiful but wary black dingo came in to see what the noise was all about. It remained secretive and I only got brief looks at it in the distance. Many thanks!

So very informative. I know of people who have them as pets & they adore them.

i've been learning about dingos and just found this video and channel and they're very helpful, thank you!

Dingos make a great companion if you understand thier nature and habits ... we rescued ours from a back yard breeder they tried to sell her as a kelpie .... she's a nsw alpine x western dingo .....

We're got one to we were told she was a kelpie and as a baby she looked like a kelpie but as time went by she morfed into a completely different looking animal and having 2 kelpies in my care previously I can say she couldn't be more different but I wouldn't have it any other way,what a challenge and what rewards the most beautiful girl and the most intelligent animal she's smarter than me and all humans 😍

Very good video, thanks for sharing!

Rusty story is something like wandi's story

I have watched videos from both of you! Long story short I adopted a pup a couple years ago (in Colorado) I was told was a certain mix, yet all the genetic and behavioral traits etc. I see from you guys, say her mother is 100% dingo. Which type I'm not sure. But if either of you from video sees this, I'd love to chat and share pics etc. You may have some insight and knowledge I could always use more of. Either way, great videos I love all the dingoes! Cheers!

We have 7 Australian Cattle Dogs, one of our 4mo pups LOOKS dingo. She's beautiful. Having ACDs we have realized they are more dingo than anything. They act just like the videos we've seen so far of your pups. Their "language" is quite different than other domestic dogs. As to training like cats... I have leash trained cats that follow multiple commands. I even have a kitten that was raised with our ACD puppies and he thinks he's an ACD... Our biggest hurdle is the prey drive. They love our cats, but are rough, and if the cat runs, its like greyhounds on a track after the rabbit lure...

That was good

any tips on how to get a dingo and other tips on how to take care of one?

I have a half dingo/Pyrenees puppy.. going to be an interesting dog.

Interesting how they are super smart but hard to train. Even if they are not bred to please, one would think that they can be trained with food and play.

Warning, this is a long comment. This channel has some awesome content and also some glaring errors, overall it’s very good information. A few points. Dingoes Are dogs Just not like any domesticated dog and can’t be treated as such; doing this will end badly for you and the dog. Dingoes are genetically indistinguishable from the Thai dog but have evolved some very unique traits, both physical and behavioural, over the many thousands of years they’ve lived here. Comparing training a Dingo to training a cat is both true and also very false; a Dingo is not dependent upon you like a domestic dog but is eminently far more trainable than a cat (or a domestic dog). Dingoes are much smarter than domestic dogs and can be trained to pretty much anything. I’ve had a few over 50 years (they live strong but only for about 12 years) but would define the relationship not as ‘owning as with a domestic dog’ but as ‘husbanding or partnering’. I’ve hunted with all of these and have never had an issue with them coming back to me or following commands but that’s not saying they never went off to hunt alone. A lot of people say they’re killers of livestock and can’t be trusted with chickens, lambs, domestic cats or calves; this has an element of truth but because they’re so incredibly intelligent they learn fast what is and isn’t acceptable prey. For example, my first dingo was with me when I met my wife who had a cat and he never touched it. He was still with me (though old) when our first kid bought home a baby rabbit from school and he never touched it. He never killed a lamb but had no problem eating a dead one (NB, two days to get through one). He did kill a lot of foxes and would present me with them like a cat does with a mouse. Dingoes don’t behave like domestic dogs because they’re not but if you understand their nature they make amazing company. Fences mean nothing to a Dingo; A domestic dog is easily contained by a 6foot fence but a dingo will jump up on it and walk along (very catlike) it until he decides to step off on either side. They’re incredibly independent but conversely also very affectionate. My current, and the last dog I’ll ever have, is the single pup from an unplanned mating from my last dingo (a bitch) and a neighbours pure breed border collie. I’ve neutered him but if I was 50 years younger I would try to start a new breed of dog based on this cross. ‘Buddy’ is phenomenal! He’ll sleep all day in the house or run all day in the paddock. He’s super fast and agile and Way Too Bloody Smart! I’m conclusion I would like to say. If you want a dog as a pet don’t get a dingo. If you have the time to Really learn about our native dog and are prepared to spend all of your time with one think twice then think twice again! While awesome they require a lot of training and upmost companionship which is not the same as ‘good ownership’, you have to really understand the nature of a dingo to live with one in a relationship where you and the dog are truly happy. Thanks for taking the time to read all of this, I hope it helps you.

Zali, we are going to need to get some Dingo memes posted to the community tab. Just pictures of your dingos or your friends dingos. You can basically make a doge meme but add some weird Australian shit to it. Get dingos salivating over shrimp on the barbie. A dingo with a famous Australian beer. Basically I'm asking you to SEND DINGOS

.it was wonderful to see the way the Dingoes interact with being in a domestic situation. I am totally against the hunting of these wonderful animals and it would be beneficial to see their talents being utilized in the control of feral cats and foxes to which they are excellent at.

Is it possible Dingoes are related to the Ethiopian wolf?

I have a theory that the Korean Jin do dog is very close to dingos, they even sound alike. And act alike. Can you tell me if that’s accurate?

What happened too Zali & the Dingos?

BORAT was missing here...

did you train your boys to come when called. I would be keen for any tips about this

No, they have almost 0 recall on walks. We treat train regularly but have made almost no progress in this area. I actually made a mistake once with the 2 of them. They were play fighting in neck deep water and I thought I could let them go to play fight because they were too preoccupied with each other and slower moving in deep water. It worked for about 2 min then Rusty heard a Kangaroo about 30m away in some bushes and he was gone. I chased after him but naturally couldn't keep up. I called and called out to him for 20min and saw nothing, heard nothing. Panic set in with all these bad thoughts of people reporting a dingo on the loose. Then I had an idea what if I started howling. I howled 3 times and he came running back to me. I will never deliberately let him loose again, which is sad I'd love to let him have more freedom but I also need to make sure I'm being responsible. Long reply just thought the howling tip might work if yours ever get loose.

​@@intrepidworld eventually and if nothing else better turns up on the run back. Play ball was the best training although unlike dogs who can fetch all day long my dingo stops after a while and simply does something more interesting. Often she will come running back simply to run past me on to something more interesting. What an insult. So I would say not her strongest skill, but she can climb a tree and make a cat's life a misery.

No point trying. We had our girl 15 years and she never had reliable recall. She'd only ever respond if she felt like it. If something else caught her attention she'd be gone like a rocket. Sometimes it wasn't even that there was a distraction - it was just her overpowering instinct to run. We gave up on it for her own safety. And she was only 50% dingo.

I have a half Pyrenees/dingo puppy. Thank god she stays at my side when I walk her. Haven't had to leash her. She comes when called, but sometimes won't listen at all. She won't wander away from me though. Only about three weeks old. I have no idea how she's going to turn out.

I own a Pharao Hound, second generation, the things described here are so similar to my dog, sure even thou Pharaos are “Primitive” meaning not really domesticated, sure they will be easier to handle than dingoes, but saying to train them is like to train a cat, really ring bels with me. Exactly the things decribed here, especially the doors :) even opens door without handle, just figure things out. Im based in EU, so that might not be a place for gettign two saved dingo, but I will consider this I love the non domesticated self thinking canis :D

Plz compare them to wolfs and Huskies.

Dingos are similar to wolves and wolfdogs in that they are not for most (99.9%) people. They need a different kind of care and handling.

It’s not unusual for two male litter mates to stay and hunt together up until they encounter a bitch; you can imagine what happens then.

Hello from the UK, I have been watching with interest a number of your videos on the Dingo. Please do you have an email address to which I can request information regarding your videos. Dingos are beautiful creatures that should be protected. Best wishes from Oxfordshire, UK, Doug.

Maybe there were no females, so there were no reason to fight.

they are problably gay, so it's okay
