Wild Dogs... When Dogs Run Free

Believed to have been introduced 5000 years ago, the dingo’s status as a native or introduced species in Australia has been a controversy
Did you know of the dingo/wild dog proof fence in Australia?
Should the pure bred dingo population still be controlled?
Is 5,000 years long enough to say they are a part of the environment?
The problem is dingos have bred with domestic dogs producing wild dogs.

First time to know about that dingos here.
I think if they can become harmful like carrier of rabies or diseases and a threat, they should be controlled.

 

As yet Australia is free of rabies though it's possible that it could arrive from the islands of Indonesia to Papua New Guinea which is very close to the top of Australia.From there it could be brought in where it could get into the large wild dog population.The dingo now is considered to be a unique breed of dog and there's a lot of support for its survival. It's the mix breeding of dogs creating the wild dog which is now the big problem.

If dingoes are controlled in such a way it can be prohibited to mate with domesticated dogs, then the problem on producing wild dogs is answered, that is if their species are being restrained in their sanctuary. Because wild dingoes running free, there’s really a big probability that they would mix with other kind of dogs. I like how they look by the way. Somehow, I see a mixed feature of a dog and a fox.

 

I think 5000 years is more than adequate. I think 1 year is enough, honestly.
No dingos around here. But we do have Coyotes. They breed with dogs, too. Most of what people consider coyotes are actually wild dogs.

 

Gosh, I have heard a lot bad stuff about dingos, and I certainly wouldn't want to have any of those nearby. i mean, we already have pumas in the mountains! Quite scary if you think about it! Sometimes they come down and end up hunting small dogs and cats.
