Watching this man and his dingos is like watching a flashback into eons ago when early man first started trying to form bonds with wild dogs. He even looks the part lol
@@asadhollow6477 sorry, no wolves in Australia, the Dingo is also in the same category as "wild dogs" when it comes to the government and culling depending on where in Australia you are from. Try not to correct people when they are correct with what they say. Maybe in YOUR location it would be man bonding with Wolves, but that's not how it is here.
@@poopbutt6241 by that logic so did all dogs, right? We don't call a chihuahua a wolf 🤔 We came from monkeys, but we don't refer to humans as monkeys, not unless you're insulting that person
it is unknown from what the Dingo comes the earliest known dingo corpses are from 3000 years ago and no one knows how they got there and from where nor their ancestry. For example they can't digest starch they can't bark and have other distinct Features from Dog's or Wolf's they might be thier own thing or come from a common ancestor no one knows. dingos don't hunt big prey they won't even hunt cows or pork only the baby's so as a farmer if you don't have sheep or goat or chicken you don't have to worry about dingos if you keep the baby's safe
Other farmers on large stations have learnt that the wild dingo is a saviour for their land by keeping the populations of goats and kangaroos under control, these animals can graze 50% of the available grass. This in turn has resulted in the growth of wild trees normally grazed out by these animals. On one station the number of goats went to zero and roo numbers dropped from 50000 to 15000. A similar thing happened in Yellowstone when the wolves were reintroduced.
well he said that he had raised the mom and a few other adults from when they were pups so to the mom it would be no different than your father coming to meet his newborn grandchildren.
Very nice to see people learning more about our native dingoes, for too long they have been persecuted in their own country. So many better ways to live along side dingoes instead of eradicating them. Nice story.
Seems to depend on the situation. One situation being them modified by domestic dog interbreeding, and many domestic dog breeds are anything from extra aggressive to slippery intelligent. Many breed them to be aggressive and unrestrained attack weapons for both hunting wild animals and human intimidation. In some places dingoes are serious ecological pests, in others they probably contribute significant benefit by getting juvenile pigs, cats, deer etc. They don't seem threatened by hunting, it's the genetic issue that will spell the end of the dingo.
My dingo howls like that when she sees a cat but with a bit more intensity. Love what you are doing more farmers should do this it's more in balance with the Australia and they belong here more the we do.
@faultroy Yes and no. Dingoes originally arrived with the first human inhabitants as domesticated family pets, probably during an ice age when it was possible to walk from India to Australia (there is a place in southeast India where the local dogs share key DNA with dingoes). They quickly went "feral", but over tens of thousands of years they carved a balanced niche in the ecology of the land. Since the arrival of truly domesticated dogs with the Europeans, they have slowly but surely interbred with dingoes, it is estimated that as few as 8% of wild dogs now are pure dingo. Curiously, the dingo which killed the 8-year old boy on Fraser island was absolutely pure, the island is the last stronghold of the original breed, it's remoteness and establishment as a national park in 1971 has kept domestic bloodlines out of the picture. Possibly the worst result of the hybridisation was that dingoes only come on heat once a year, but dog mixes often come into heat twice a year... twice as many mixed pups. Scientists are out there doing DNA tests which is how they arrived at the 92% mixed figure. So I suppose the answer at the guts of it is, for the most part, yes. Years ago a bushie friend of my father's raised a pup from a few weeks old, which he reckoned was a purebred, it definitely looked like all the photos, and it was the smartest, most alert canine I have ever seen, and very devoted to its master, we weren't allowed near it as only its human family was its pack, and as a male was a dangerous wild animal to anyone outside the pack. They lived on a remote property in the mountains I should add, definitely not a city pet.
Interesting idea, I'd like to see more on this. We had a dingo pair on our farm for many years and they didn't make problems with our live stock, they were timid and would stay away mostly, did attack the dogs on occasion but never attacked stock until a dog X dingo pack moved in on the territory... they were taking down wieners and even the horses, it was a terrible heart break. Pure wild dingoes (pairs not packs) aren't so bad but as soon as domestic dogs get in to the mix you have a larger more aggressive pack animal and that is a serious problem not just for farmers but also for the pure dingoes.
Outstanding video! Reminded me of the time when I played my guitar in the woods on the edge of a large cow pasture. In 10 minutes I was surrounded by the entire herd.
@@blindfredy6128 dingoes can climb not as good as cats but they are superior climbers and agile they are double jointed in their hips and limbs too , they are a threat to cats and foxes too . although there is confliction in some studies as to how effective they are . mostly because some for the studies are done by pro farming bodies and they traditionally hate dingoes
What intelligent man what a brilliant and painstaking strategy. I love people/human beings who make efforts and are progressive in their thinking about solutions. Great video
I know they're wild, but man would i love a dingo in my life. Rugged, intelegent, and they're super cute as puppies. For someone who loves the outdoors and wants a medium sized canine, dingos can seem very appealing.
@@katieb8511lol because if you knew anything about your dog you’d know the “blue heeler” or if you live in Australia more commonly known as the australian cattle dog was cross bred a dingo with a blue Merle border collie in the late 1800s the settlers needed a tough hard working dog to drive cattle through the land.. and many farmers still have cattle dogs on there property doing the work of many men.
This is a most amazing video; this guy loves animals in particular DIngos much more could and should be done in regards treatment of dingos in this country. This shows that most of the creatures reciprocate when treated with kindness and respect. Every morning I watch ABC news and wait for the bit which shows this particular singing creature. Simply AMAZING!! Keep up the good work, some humans are kind and care about Nature and Animals. Good man, five stars!
Great video! I love Dingo's. The closest dog you can have to a Dingo in the USA is a Jindo which comes from Jindo island in Korea. They are a cousin of the Dingo. I had a Jindo crossed with a Wiemereimer and he was an awesome dog.
Janet Wells - exactly about Jindos. Dingos are a primitive breed and all of these breeds like Jindos, Carolina Dog, etc are similar in look, size, vocalizations and overall behavior (digging etc).
My dog Jimmy looks exactly like this. His mother was a cross between an Indian street dog and a spitz and He's a cross between her mother and again a street dog. 😅
My big part dingo joined with a few bars of his own song while I was watching. 💕 He is my trained assistance dog. While personally I would prefer a pure dingo, having that 30% red healer is the part that devolops the social inclusion and interaction. While some people are genuinely interested in dingo's, most are accepting but a little stand offish or insure, other people still carry the extreme ignorance of historical perceptions.
I saw a documentary about a study into wild dingo behaviour where those studies had established that dingo packs regularly patrolled around and within the borders of their own territory and ate from the abundance ( if the abundance existed ) of their traditional native fauna prey. Also introduced species of feral cats, foxes, goats and rabbits. Dingos do a good job in keeping the ferals, which destroy the natural native fauna and flora that supports the naturally intended biodiverse ecology of their region, down. Domestic animals are only killed, rarely if they stray or, if the dingos are starved to the point of hunting for anything they can find anywhere they can find it. Also an aboriginal elder told how their traditional stories tell of how dingos came to be closely acquainted with humans. Dingo packs would watch tribal people hunting and would join in the chase and sometimes bring down prey before it was speared and hang around as the men chased them off to a short distance and moved in on the kill, or the dingos would hang around after joining in the chase and watching the spearing of an animal. In both instances the hunters would thank the dingos by tossing them parts of the kill. That is how they came to trust and appreciate each other and work together with no training or ownership of the dingos by the people. Life went on, sometimes the dingos would be present, sometimes not. Both the people and the dingos were quite capable of hunting sufficiently and independently of each other. It was the dingos that chose to interact according their own whims and the people who decided to accept, respect and reward their interaction.
I have no clue if it's actually true of not but someone with a Australian cattle dog told me the dingo was one of the dogs that was used to breed the original Australian cattle dogs. has anyone heard more definitively either way on that?
Quite correct - one of the best books on the breed is by John and Mary Holmes: You can sometimes find it on Ebay or Amazon 2nd hand - www.amazon.co.uk/Complete-Australian-Cattle-Dog/dp/0876050143/ref=sr_1_15?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1469209885&sr=1-15&keywords=australian+cattle+dog
Loved the video. Would like to know more about the dingos and your experiiences with them. I suspect my own dog maybe part dingo. I've had dogs all my life but she is different. l have had to train and approach her differently to all the other breeds lve had. She is 4 years old now, had her since she was a pup
Dingoes are naturally territorial and they respect the boundaries. So because he has a stable family group of Dingoes they regularly scent mark the boundaries which keeps rogue animals out.
Beautiful dogs. The same 'breed' is found around the world in tropics dry and wet, and subtropics. Mine is a mountain xolo or techichi, depending on who you talk to. But, most dog attacks in Mexico are from their wild cousins. But, as well, when they're around, no coyotes are. Coyote is called eater-of-souls for a good reason.

They're not native, rather invasive. They were brought there by men.
its because of dogs from other countries where brought in feeding on native wildlife. dingos just got the bad end of that situation.

I always thought dingo was just a name Australians called their dogs. I never new it was actually a bread of wild dogs there 😂
A dingo is the Australian native dog.
Not a dog.
Classified as it's own individual species now. Canis familiaris dingo or Canis lupus dingo according to Wikipedia
A bit different to the domesticated dog
❤❤❤❤❤❤ much love from London 🍀🍀🍀🍀💘💝💘
Respect!!
Haha, all dogs howl if you play the harmonica, it hurts their ears my dad use to say, maybe!
Dogs always howls to when one plays the harmonica.
That’s awesome.
Thanks. Nice video.

Fantastic.
What a hero, not resulting to the bullet treatment and using the native wildlife to work the land in unison
Those yowling noises make me miss my wolf hybrid.
