Nigel, I really don't know how pure they are. That question is a source of contention for graziers here, as we're the only part of Australia with a law to stop pure dingos getting shot (but they can be poisoned with a permit), but wild dogs, or anything less than pure dingo, can be shot. What they don't tell us is how to tell the difference, and with some scientists asserting that only Fraser Island dingos are pure, and others disagreeing, it is very unclear.

That log reminded me of the last lot of dingo's I shot. A whole family living in a log. Yes, it was pre the ban by a year or two and I now adhere to the law even though the graziers don't like it.

The reason I asked is the white paws and chest. Reminded me of my Kelpie cross which had a similar chest pattern and I don't remember seeing it on other dingo's I've seen which I know were pure bread BUT I am no expert on dingo's and know you do get different colour variations.

Everyone says the only pure Dingo's are on Frazer but there are places in Aust where people (and dogs) haven't got to yet, even in the NT !!!

Anyway, I'll leave it to the experts to argue.


Again, Nice pics.
