I once rescued a small dingo puppy chained in a parking lot. She became very loyal and protective of her parents, and related well to the other dogs, and they're not pets, but great companions. She was suspicious of unknown folks, and lived out her life at home and died of old age. I miss her.
I'm from the states & just had my 120lb wolf hybrid pass away from old age. The sweetest, kindest & most protective loyal friend I'll ever have. It's only been about 2 months & I miss him every day! My animals aren't pets they are family, I was his alpha & he was my brother.
I am 68 years old but when I was 16 I knew a man that owned a Dingo. It was sent to him in the US by his son in Australia. Exotic animal exports were easier then. Beautiful animals and yes, Bear was loyal and protective also. To get to know Bear you had to let him accept you on his own terms as he was suspicious of strangers also. I got to know him. As the owner told me are still a wild animal and like any wild animal should not be owned unless you know what you are doing and are prepared to accept the responsibility.
a bitch training pups to kill can kill or maim up to 100 sheep per night, how would you like to WAKE UP to that morning after morning, and x breads are worse!!!
@caveman Versace a 'normal dog' is a domesticated animal. The dingo out in the bush, is a wild dog, so of course it is not a 'normal dog'. The Australian dingo is NOT a native dog as many describe it. It was brought to this country about 4,000 years ago by Aboriginal people. Some went feral and the rest is history.
I'm so sorry! It's never easy. I lost my Great Dane, Duke, a year ago, & I'm still heartbroken over it. It gets easier with time, but we never forget them. ❤
@@Jean.34 I do the same, as well. My Dukey boy was meant for us - he had been abused by a man, dumped out in the middle of nowhere, distrusted all men, & found his way to me & my family. We formed a beautiful, & unbreakable bond with him. He was essentially the 3rd overprotective parent to our 2 kids, & I still grieve his loss. The people that never experience that kind of unconditional love, or that type of bond, don't know what they're missing. That's why it hurts so gosh darn bad when their time comes. I'm sorry for your loss, as well as Nathalie's. ❤❤
@@amezfires9247 thank you. I know how hard it is. People say it was just a pet. They don't understand the kind of relationship that we built with them while living under same roof espcially when they are really great members of the family. I think it is somehow similar to when you lose your own child. 😭 god bless thier souls.
Dingos are another beautiful animal that we need to protect. That's great that Dingo Den is doing a lot to protect and take care of these beautiful animals. If I ever make it to Australia, I would make it a point to visit Dingo Den so I could visit and support the dingos.
Unfortunately in Queensland Dingoes are classed as an invasive species and you are not allowed under any circumstances to own, house, possess. I have tried finding ways around this but no permits exist at all, even to help wounded or starving animals. I have travelled all over Australia and had many wild Dingoes approach, lay near me and even one woke me up in the desert licking my face and then remained friendly when I got up. They are beautiful animals with such a beautiful personality; and they love to talk ! It would've been nice to show them communicating with their husky like talking in the video. Good job Joshua and Great video to all involved.
I have a dingo cross collie. She is the smartest dog I have ever owned. In my lifetime I have had 6 dogs so far, and I have to agree with this gentleman 100% about them being different to regular dogs. For example...Until her, I had never had a dog stash a piece of three day old meat under my pillow for safe keeping...all my other dogs just chowed it down as soon as I gave it them.
MELODY MUNRO thats acollie thing my collie will do the same its the wolf in the breeding of there dna that brings it out my bitch will berry them bones only to dig it up a mounth or so later and bring it to its bed and hide them she is a bitch
My Yorkshire terrier Ben did the same thing. He was very intelligent would refuse to obey commands but would respond quickly to requests. He was my superBen. He was eighteen years old when he passed still him.

Tiisiphone they are not what I’d consider domestic I have a Dingo myself but they haven’t been bred with tame ness or train ability in mind (like domestic dogs) but for the right situation they can certainly become a family member
I think it's quite wrong for these guys to have called them "domestic" dingoes! They are wild animals that are tamed. Domesticated animals are bred to live with humans - it's very different.
Grew up with dingo x dogs ❤️ have one now ! Amazing animals and very very incredibly loyal ! But to own one you MUST know everything about thier needs and wants
Hayley grassi thats it! I’m often asked if they make good pets. I usually say if your after a dog, getting a Dingo is doomed to fail. If your wanting a Dingo, and understand and appreciate their uniqueness they can be amazing I’d never be without my boy
Wicked Wildlife I trust my current full dingo with my life ! People need to realise if you know HOW to look after them and exactly thier needs they make the best family members
They are obviously very different to dogs ! I have both ! My dingo is on a diet that is as close to thier natural diet ! She is given frozen rabbits ! Raw eggs raw chicken wings ! While my dogs are given a typical dog diet
Hayley grassi that’s it Aztec is my best friend. Unfortunately many people run into trouble when they struggle to keep them enclosed, or didn’t expect them to be fearful of strangers
Wicked Wildlife ! Exactly! We had to get the right fencing in and tell people yes she will make noises at you because she is so fearful of new people ! My dingo is a alpine dingo !

Dingoes here are still under a huge amount of pressure, but there is still some people in the agricultural sector experimenting with non lethal solutions such as using livestock guardian dogs which is a huge step in the right direction
Lucy Kelly I’ve never heated of a farmer receiving compensation for stock losses here in Australia We need to avoid creating an “us vs them” situation between Dingo people and farmers if dingoes are to survive

This is a great video. I don't think I've ever seen a more vivid depiction of Australian Dingoes interaction with people, and I never realized how similar they are to America's Carolina dogs, aka American Dingo, aka Dixie Dingo. I rescued a Carolina Dog in 2005 and had her for 12 years. It took awhile for me to discover what exactly I had rescued. Everything about this dog was off the charts... intelligence, loyalty, strength, agility, etc. Absolutely amazing animals!
Dingos are so misunderstood by the majority of Australians. Thanks Josh and Dingo Den for helping to educate the world and promote creating safe wold habitats for them. A misplaced Dingo is a great family pet, but do your homework. They are a big commitment like any pet, they need the stimulation of lots of walks and company in the domestic home. They are not dogs - and you need to work with them and learn to understand their unique needs. They can be a wonderful family pet, and live with other pets with the right approach and patience. You will be well rewarded for the investment.
Me too! My girl was found in the mountains of Eastern Kentucky. We have had her 5 years now. And she has been the best dog ever! Much Love and Hugs from Kentucky 💙
I absolutely love dingos!! I was just watching a documentary yesterday about how the dingo is so vilianized and being killed off, especially by farmers who raise sheep and cattle. What I found so frustrating was these farmers were talking about killing off the dingo like they are doing something good for the environment claiming that Dingos aren't a native species (which they definitely are and have been for 3000+ years). What's mind boggling is they are making this argument for killing them off for being non-native all while breeding and raising hundreds of thousands of sheep and cows for profit. Sheep and cows that ABSOLUTELY are NOT native species to Australia, and of course the farmers all pretend not to notice that fact. It's so clearly about their profit and I wish they would just be honest and say that and have an intellectually honest conversation rather than this nonsense. If they were to be honest then it might be easier to find solutions to their problems. It's great that this video touched on the fact that dingos often come to these farms or near humans looking for food because we have destroyed the natural food chain in their environment so our destruction is actually forcing the Dingos closer towards us It breaks my heart to see how dingos are treated when they are such a fantastic animal, same goes for foxes especially in the UK with fox hunting even though it's supposed to be banned.
These farmers themselves are not even native in Australia which is soo ironic for them to say that. The Dingos are very much misunderstood as much as the other dog species prevalent in this region like the singing dogs in Papua and some other misunderstood dogs in Indonesia/Philippines which are very similar to dingos but not well researched.
The dingos was amazing and so as Terry. I had one dingo when I was in Papua New Guinea , I was working with OK-Tedi Mining in Western Province. Terry was flawless . Nice vlog , take care.
I would understand dingos because I have been breeding basenjis for 40 years. Basenjis are similar in temperament and the African imports are very much like the dingo. Some of our domesticated basenjis don't have the same instincts as the Africans,if you can live with an African Basenji,you can live with a dingo.
jaroufa1 I thought basenjis had no recall and were fairly untame.. Or not very "donesticated" for a domesticated breed? I know a few ppl who own them and this is what they say.
The Dingo is misunderstood in Australia just as the Grey Wolf is here in the USA. When I look at Dingo's I don't see aggressive killers but an amazing animal full of love and concern for their human companions!
Keep in mind they are still wild animals. I would never put my face close to one. I bred working Australian Cattle dogs (commonly called ‘Blue Heelers’ in the U.S.A.). My current and last one nearly tore my face off two years ago. I love him and he also is my protector (long story). I also had a timber wolf/Malamute cross for about six years. The ‘ACD’s would take on any bull without reservation (and yes one did save my life when I was cornered by an older bull’). If you were to observe their ferocity in defending what they perceive as theirs, you would appreciate my view in being careful. I do not intend any animosity toward wild, partially wild or ‘domesticated’ dogs, just healthy respect.....Gary in Michigan U.S.A.
The Dingo sounds alot like the Canaan from Israel. The Canaan is also a wild dog much like the Dingo. Their lands in Israel are disappearing too. That's why some of the Canaan's were shipped here to the U.S. in the 1960's. Canaan's are very loyal and are family pack orientated and very intelligent. The Dingo and some Canaan's look alot alike in color, and size, but the tail gives the two differences. While Canaan's curl their tails upward, Dingos have their tails straight and down. Too bad Dingo's can't come here to the states, I'd adopt a couple of them.
I have a dingo. I consider him my child. Ive never even met another human who can express such unconditional love and compassion as these creature. Hes an amazing curious creature who is friendly with other animals and children. House broken and never leaves the yard even though there is no fence. He wants to be close at all times. Super needy but the affection is worth the tediousness.
Dingos are domesticated dogs turned feral, genetically similar to the Chinese village dog, brought to the continent by humans 3500 years ago. They are not a separate species. They are a breed that developed in isolation - kind of breeding themselves back into the ur-dog. They still deserve protection. We have an dog that allegedly has some dingo in her - an Australian cattle dog.
Ray Rivera they are amazingly intelligent, I worked with a facility that documented tool use in dingoes! Meat was hung high from the roof and a camera hidden, dingos repeatedly where filmed dragging furnishings of their enclosure to jump off to reach the meat!
@@WickedWildlife I saw that video and was amazed. So incredibly intelligent. I have an alpine dingo and she is such a quick learner. Has an obsesion with butter and sugar lol.. When I go shopping and come home to pack those items away she watches like a hawk where I put them lol.... She has such a beautiful nature, can even take her food whilst she is eating without any agression. One thing about dingo ownership is you must be 500% commited and I have had to adapt my lifestyle 100% to my little naughty angels ways lol... All worth it though. All those long daily walks definitely gets you fit.
Lol. So I’m sure they did that to draw a comparison between the two animals. One now extinct due to persecution and the other being actively persecuted at this time.
Is that a thylacine at .29 in the foreground? On 7 September 1936, the last known Tasmanian Tiger (thylacine) died at the Hobart Zoo. Supposed to be extinct. Must be a very old video shot otherwise.
My friends and I have a yellow Carolina dog, (American dingo) who is an awesome loving member of our family. We keep staying consistent teaching/training him daily.
Me too! My girl was found in the mountains of Eastern Kentucky. We have had her 5 years now. And she has been the best dog ever! Much Love and Hugs from Kentucky 💙
Hello from the UK. Thank you for this video. Having watched a few other videos about Dingos, I am now have an far better understanding and an affection for these beautiful creatures. I agree that they are not pets but can be wonderful companions. I hope that Dingos are kept as pure, to preserve their natural traits and behaviour. They are far too good and unique to be lost. I adopted a “Rescue” ferret. Ferrets can be legally kept as pets in the UK. My little furry friend is my companion and is free to run about in certain rooms in my house to prevent her from harm. We live together, play together, eat together and sleep together (but not in the same bed). She does have cages, with food and clean water, and comfortable bedding, upstairs and downstairs, and a number of litter trays.
Dear anneka, at the 29 seconds of this film the animal that pass in front of the câmera is a tasmanian Wolf, this animal is considered extint, is this dingo center breading tasmanian wolfes?
My neighbor had a pure breed Dingo and he was SO handsome and SO sweet. He became very attached to me and used to come to the house every day to come and hang out. This guy never needed a leash and he was the neighborhood mascot. Funny, the animal control officer used to come around all the time to have interested people meet him. He was just awesome. Again, a VERY handsome pooch. Had to bad about 80 pounds.
@@jimbob465, as explained to me, Teddy was “unusually large and unusually sweet.” He was an extremely athletic and solid and my guess was 80lbs. Could be less? Maybe. But definitely not a little 20-40lbs pooch.
@@Jet_Threat , it was awhile back, but if I remember correctly Jet, he was actually from Australia and one of their relatives had his sister out in Texas. The wife was definitely an Aussie and she is the one that brought him over. I heard the story of how they met on Quanta’s Airlines too many times, lol. He definitely had the look of a the classic Dingo but he was not a little dog as another reply stated. But they assured everyone that he was in fact a Dingo and it took quite a bit of effort to get him here.
Beautiful canines. Once had a dog (in Canada) that I could have sworn was part Dingo. Looked so much like a Dingo. Miss her (she passed away many years ago).
A very pleasant surprise indeed. I have visited Australia and loved the country but the idea of treating these animals as pests was - and is - abhorrent to me. It is such a pity to wipe out a species as has happened so many places in the world. Many warm Congratulations and Thanks You to Joshua Said for his wonderful work for the Dingo.
I adopted a dingo from a rescue center in NC about 14 years ago. Lobo looked exactly like some of your dingos there. - not like Carolina dingos. I trained him to be a companion dog for my mother with Alzheimer's. He got up with her in the night , stayed with her if she wandered off and then my Mom would follow Lobo back home. One cold morning, I found my tiny Mom curled up with Lobo in his bed and he was keeping her warm. Last January I had to put him down because he was suffering with hip displasia. I really miss him and that is the reason that I watch shows like yours.
Hi I can't believe how friendly dingos really are they are amazing I can't believe you can just them and give them kisses just like a dog I love them and dogs and cats and every other animal that's here on the earth and humans of course if it was possible to talk to a dingo what he say anyway they're so nice
This channel is great. They work with all types of canines, from wolves to dogs to coyotes to dingos. With the appropriate care they seem they can be very loving animals and they all share a common characteristic, absolute loyalty to their human friends. And that's why dogs are better than cats. When canines love, they do it with all their heart and soul.
dingoes are beautiful... if I lived in Australia I would definitely get one... because they do have wonderful personalities... I do own a Queensland heeler red merle and I absolutely love her and she's still got some of the personality of the dingo that was used to breed with other dogs...she's been my service dog for 13 years...she has just been a marvelous marvelous animal...
I have a Carolina dingo Canaan. It was a lot to get used to at first...he was supposed to be a Shepard husky. He's very aggressive..but also sweet. It reminds me of him..he loves to cuddle and give kisses. He bit quite a few people..I had to keep him put up. He's my favorite 🐕. He has land to run now. He's so smart! He opens water bottles. Doors. He knows if he's had a table scrap before..they have so much more personality than any other dog I have ever had.
I swear my current rescue pup is part Australian dingo. He definitely has the looks and behavior of one and it’s my understanding he was imported from a shelter to the one I adopted him from. He is a handful despite the training efforts we put in. We’ve been trying to teach him to be gentle. It’s been a process. He definitely is on his own terms. He is the most unusual dog we’ve had.
Journey Wolf unfortunately here in Victoria dingoes are on the endangered species list and there is still a $100 bounty paid for dingoes that are shot outside protected national parks :( )
@@sokolshala485 What nature does to things that over breed. Create a food shortage which would cause animals to look for food elsewhere. (common as all animals do this) At which point the population would decrease rapidly from feminine, disease, pests, and most importantly human intervention. Also your aware that the majority of hunts fail. An "uncontrolled" wolf population is still very much a controlled population.
There's also the Mandela Effect. There's quite a few animals that shouldn't exist, but do. Like the Shoebill (Giant man eating Stork) and the Cassowary (giant man eating dinosaur). They are alive and well, but look like CGI animals, because they are like small dinosaurs. I don't remember these animals existing at all, but suddenly they appeared about 2 or 3 years ago. There are also flying foxes now. Somehow they want to make it seem like Flying Foxes are a normal thing. No no... There was never flying foxes (huge bats with a 6 foot wingspan) when I was a kid.
Much respect for this man and his effort...we in Ny queens support . I'm surprised Some Aussie are like the ranchers in America who are butchers to wolves and coyotes...
I’m sitting here in Bethesda, Maryland, USA with my Guide/Medical Alert/PTSD Therapeutic Dingo. He’s great!, smart as can be and gets along with every dog in the neighborhood, big or small . I trained him for obedience, guide and animal coexistence when he first arrived in the area as a rescue. Every couple of days he’s in the presence of Deer but won’t bother them. And they won’t run from him. He was then trained elsewhere for the rest. And very affectionate!

I absolutely love dingos!! I was just watching a documentary yesterday about how the dingo is so vilianized and being killed off, especially by farmers who raise sheep and cattle. What I found so frustrating was these farmers were talking about killing off the dingo like they are doing something good for the environment claiming that Dingos aren't a native species (which they definitely are and have been for 3000+ years). What's mind boggling is
they are making this argument for killing them off for being non-native all while breeding and raising hundreds of thousands of sheep and cows for profit. Sheep and cows that ABSOLUTELY are NOT native species to Australia, and of course the farmers all pretend not to notice that fact. It's so clearly about their profit and I wish they would just be honest and say that and have an intellectually honest conversation rather than this nonsense. If they were to be honest then it might be easier to find solutions to their problems.
It's great that this video touched on the fact that dingos often come to these farms or near humans looking for food because we have destroyed the natural food chain in their environment so our destruction is actually forcing the Dingos closer towards us
It breaks my heart to see how dingos are treated when they are such a fantastic animal, same goes for foxes especially in the UK with fox hunting even though it's supposed to be banned.
These farmers themselves are not even native in Australia which is soo ironic for them to say that. The Dingos are very much misunderstood as much as the other dog species prevalent in this region like the singing dogs in Papua and some other misunderstood dogs in Indonesia/Philippines which are very similar to dingos but not well researched.
Dingoes are NOT native to Australia, and neither is any race of humans.
OMG cuteee!!! Im glad that organization exists!!! :D
The Dingo has a very Sphinx looking face. Beautiful dogs.
they are definately beautiful animals. thank you for sharing this great information about them. :-)))))))))
Mr. Joshua Said is an amazing man. This is freaking cool 😁
0:29 isn’t that a Tasmanian tiger ? Lol thought they were extinct
sure looked like it
well guess not xD
I saw same thing
Thats from a documentary that shows how the dingo and the Tasmanian tiger first interacted.
Its so obviously cgi
The dingos was amazing and so as Terry. I had one dingo when I was in Papua New Guinea , I was working with OK-Tedi Mining in Western Province. Terry was flawless . Nice vlog , take care.
They look so calm & healthy, that speaks for itself. Hats off to dingo den, amazing work! Love from the uk ❤️
I love dingos, so fascinating. Also I think those two should date, they both look single 😉😄
Great video. Thanks for sharing it :-)
thankyou :)
I’m wondering if Dingo persecution is why we have such a heavy “surplus population” in Kangaroos & sometimes Koalas?
Beautiful animals... Great vídeo Anneka... so adorable Dingo...
I would understand dingos because I have been breeding basenjis for 40 years. Basenjis are similar in temperament and the African imports are very much like the dingo. Some of our domesticated basenjis don't have the same instincts as the Africans,if you can live with an African Basenji,you can live with a dingo.
jaroufa1 I thought basenjis had no recall and were fairly untame.. Or not very "donesticated" for a domesticated breed? I know a few ppl who own them and this is what they say.
Dingoes aren't dogs though Jaroufa and they aren't domesticated .
The Dingo is misunderstood in Australia just as the Grey Wolf is here in the USA. When I look at Dingo's I don't see aggressive killers but an amazing animal full of love and concern for their human companions!
Finally i been waiting for you to upload !!
No worries, this one took lots of effort as its a special from Australia :)
Anneka Svenska - wow 😮
thanks for sharing, mate.
Keep in mind they are still wild animals. I would never put my face close to one. I bred working Australian Cattle dogs (commonly called ‘Blue Heelers’ in the U.S.A.). My current and last one nearly tore my face off two years ago. I love him and he also is my protector (long story). I also had a timber wolf/Malamute cross for about six years. The ‘ACD’s would take on any bull without reservation (and yes one did save my life when I was cornered by an older bull’). If you were to observe their ferocity in defending what they perceive as theirs, you would appreciate my view in being careful. I do not intend any animosity toward wild, partially wild or ‘domesticated’ dogs, just healthy respect.....Gary in Michigan U.S.A.
probably a good idea to use caution with any animal you are NOT familiar with....wild or domestic.
@@sketchartphoto8117 very true and sensible
The Dingo sounds alot like the Canaan from Israel. The Canaan is also a wild dog much like the Dingo. Their lands in Israel are disappearing too. That's why some of the Canaan's were shipped here to the U.S. in the 1960's. Canaan's are very loyal and are family pack orientated and very intelligent. The Dingo and some Canaan's look alot alike in color, and size, but the tail gives the two differences. While Canaan's curl their tails upward, Dingos have their tails straight and down. Too bad Dingo's can't come here to the states, I'd adopt a couple of them.
👏👏👏U are correct!!
J K carolina dog. These dogs u mention are all related. As well indian specific and korean specific dog
My ex had a caanan. She was wonderful! Wuld literally den up all day and lick herself clean all day
Carolina dog is a close 2nd to dingoes.
God bless this man for saving these beautiful dogs. ❤
The dingo is sooo cute, they are like peaches with pointy ears and a nose:)
Love you dear! You are people with big heart !
Australia needs to change their archaic laws regarding them being a pest species. And define them as a valuable precious indigenous animal.
Amazing place. Immense gratitude for people who create refuges and loving homes for these calm, beautiful dingos.
Love dingos! great video Anneka!
FenaLee they are hard not to love
My Dingo Aztec is my best friend
I have a dingo. I consider him my child. Ive never even met another human who can express such unconditional love and compassion as these creature. Hes an amazing curious creature who is friendly with other animals and children. House broken and never leaves the yard even though there is no fence. He wants to be close at all times. Super needy but the affection is worth the tediousness.
Those dingoes are beautiful.
Dingos are domesticated dogs turned feral, genetically similar to the Chinese village dog, brought to the continent by humans 3500 years ago. They are not a separate species. They are a breed that developed in isolation - kind of breeding themselves back into the ur-dog. They still deserve protection.
We have an dog that allegedly has some dingo in her - an Australian cattle dog.
they're beautiful dogs and seem intelligent too.
Ray Rivera they are amazingly intelligent, I worked with a facility that documented tool use in dingoes!
Meat was hung high from the roof and a camera hidden, dingos repeatedly where filmed dragging furnishings of their enclosure to jump off to reach the meat!
Highly intelligent.
@@WickedWildlife I saw that video and was amazed. So incredibly intelligent. I have an alpine dingo and she is such a quick learner. Has an obsesion with butter and sugar lol.. When I go shopping and come home to pack those items away she watches like a hawk where I put them lol.... She has such a beautiful nature, can even take her food whilst she is eating without any agression. One thing about dingo ownership is you must be 500% commited and I have had to adapt my lifestyle 100% to my little naughty angels ways lol... All worth it though. All those long daily walks definitely gets you fit.
WTF?! 0:29 Tazmanian Tiger? Or am I crazy now? There are rumors they exist still in Australia...
I love how they casually showed thylacine....
Yeah what's with that? They're extinct thanks to humans. Tasmanian tiger
So much commenting about that, maybe they should not have done it.
Thylacine in video...really? Lol
Lol. So I’m sure they did that to draw a comparison between the two animals. One now extinct due to persecution and the other being actively persecuted at this time.
So adorable 😍
Omg, they are so beautiful
The dingos are cute but the guy caring for them is incredibly attractive too! The fact that he started charity for dingos is 💣💥
Is that a thylacine at .29 in the foreground? On 7 September 1936, the last known Tasmanian Tiger (thylacine) died at the Hobart Zoo. Supposed to be extinct. Must be a very old video shot otherwise.
it is... wtf
Right I thought the same thing, thought I was the only one who noticed
Ss 7 there have been sightings.
Random Shorts yeah I agree actually
My friends and I have a yellow Carolina dog, (American dingo) who is an awesome loving member of our family.
We keep staying consistent teaching/training him daily.
Me too! My girl was found in the mountains of Eastern Kentucky. We have had her 5 years now. And she has been the best dog ever!
Much Love and Hugs from Kentucky 💙
A nice video about dingos !
:-)
Hello from the UK. Thank you for this video.
Having watched a few other videos about Dingos, I am now have an far better understanding and an affection for these beautiful creatures. I agree that they are not pets but can be wonderful companions. I hope that Dingos are kept as pure, to preserve their natural traits and behaviour. They are far too good and unique to be lost.
I adopted a “Rescue” ferret. Ferrets can be legally kept as pets in the UK. My little furry friend is my companion and is free to run about in certain rooms in my house to prevent her from harm. We live together, play together, eat together and sleep together (but not in the same bed). She does have cages, with food and clean water, and comfortable bedding, upstairs and downstairs, and a number of litter trays.
I learned so much with this video. Makes me want to raise the Dingo's on my farm. ~Smile!
I have a Dingo, and he is exceptionally smart with very keen hearing. A very loyal dog!!!
May I suggest a Papua New Guinea Singing Dog video.
They are so precious!! Thank you for this!
Dear anneka, at the 29 seconds of this film the animal that pass in front of the câmera is a tasmanian Wolf, this animal is considered extint, is this dingo center breading tasmanian wolfes?
They're so huggable and kissable!
I didn't expect "Up Close" to refer to the guests :O
My neighbor had a pure breed Dingo and he was SO handsome and SO sweet. He became very attached to me and used to come to the house every day to come and hang out. This guy never needed a leash and he was the neighborhood mascot. Funny, the animal control officer used to come around all the time to have interested people meet him. He was just awesome. Again, a VERY handsome pooch. Had to bad about 80 pounds.
Dingos are 20-40lb dogs...
Your story smells funny....
@@jimbob465, as explained to me, Teddy was “unusually large and unusually sweet.” He was an extremely athletic and solid and my guess was 80lbs. Could be less? Maybe. But definitely not a little 20-40lbs pooch.
Was he in the USA? If so, not a dingo.
@@Jet_Threat , it was awhile back, but if I remember correctly Jet, he was actually from Australia and one of their relatives had his sister out in Texas. The wife was definitely an Aussie and she is the one that brought him over. I heard the story of how they met on Quanta’s Airlines too many times, lol. He definitely had the look of a the classic Dingo but he was not a little dog as another reply stated. But they assured everyone that he was in fact a Dingo and it took quite a bit of effort to get him here.
Beautiful canines. Once had a dog (in Canada) that I could have sworn was part Dingo. Looked so much like a Dingo. Miss her (she passed away many years ago).
I've never really taken a close look. I love these canines! They are full of still quite loving energy here.
Wow! They are beautiful
Great video, thank the All Mighty, for this Man!!!
A very pleasant surprise indeed. I have visited Australia and loved the country but the idea of treating these animals as pests was - and is - abhorrent to me. It is such a pity to wipe out a species as has happened so many places in the world. Many warm Congratulations and Thanks You to Joshua Said for his wonderful work for the Dingo.
you mean like the Tazmanian devil that trots by in the beginning of this video ar 28 seconds?
I adopted a dingo from a rescue center in NC about 14 years ago. Lobo looked exactly like some of your dingos there. - not like Carolina dingos. I trained him to be a companion dog for my mother with Alzheimer's. He got up with her in the night , stayed with her if she wandered off and then my Mom would follow Lobo back home. One cold morning, I found my tiny Mom curled up with Lobo in his bed and he was keeping her warm. Last January I had to put him down because he was suffering with hip displasia. I really miss him and that is the reason that I watch shows like yours.
My deepest sympathy...Your Lobo must have been a special boy by the love you convey. How is your Mom doing?
Did you CGI a thylasine in @ :29 seconds in?!
Lee Stephenson I saw thatIt looks like a Tasmanian Tiger
Jarrid Phillips thats what a thylacine is
Wtf I too want the answer to this???
Glad they showed up
Had a dingo/sheltie mix years back. Wildest puppy but the smartest and most loyal adult dog.
I miss him dearly. He was a special guy
Hi I can't believe how friendly dingos really are they are amazing I can't believe you can just them and give them kisses just like a dog I love them and dogs and cats and every other animal that's here on the earth and humans of course if it was possible to talk to a dingo what he say anyway they're so nice
1:39 cute factor right their that is straight up puppy love ... i love the head wobble on the dingo as he licking his dad so awesome
I have an Australian cattle dog and i feel like he is more wild than these dingos 😭
Don't surprise me at all they can be very aggressive but they are so loyal to whomever feeds them tho
Don't be fooled lol..
kelpie,Australian cattle dog also have some genetic from dingos
This channel is great. They work with all types of canines, from wolves to dogs to coyotes to dingos. With the appropriate care they seem they can be very loving animals and they all share a common characteristic, absolute loyalty to their human friends. And that's why dogs are better than cats. When canines love, they do it with all their heart and soul.
What was that striped animal in the beginning of the clip? Thylacine?
yeah man what the he'll is going on here!!!!!!!!@
So beautiful and adorable. You guys are great for doing what you do. Respect!
I thyla-seen something interesting walk by!
dingoes are beautiful... if I lived in Australia I would definitely get one... because they do have wonderful personalities... I do own a Queensland heeler red merle and I absolutely love her and she's still got some of the personality of the dingo that was used to breed with other dogs...she's been my service dog for 13 years...she has just been a marvelous marvelous animal...
Keep up the good work Josh,try your best to change the Oz pest perception.
Is it just me? these two have great chemistry.
Definitely .. bonding over love for animals
Beautiful the dingos weren't to bad either.
I have a Carolina dingo Canaan. It was a lot to get used to at first...he was supposed to be a Shepard husky. He's very aggressive..but also sweet. It reminds me of him..he loves to cuddle and give kisses. He bit quite a few people..I had to keep him put up. He's my favorite 🐕. He has land to run now. He's so smart! He opens water bottles. Doors. He knows if he's had a table scrap before..they have so much more personality than any other dog I have ever had.
Was that a thylozine or whatever there called the Tasmanian tiger ..walk across the screen in the begining of the show or what??
I swear my current rescue pup is part Australian dingo. He definitely has the looks and behavior of one and it’s my understanding he was imported from a shelter to the one I adopted him from. He is a handful despite the training efforts we put in. We’ve been trying to teach him to be gentle. It’s been a process. He definitely is on his own terms. He is the most unusual dog we’ve had.
28 seconds into this video a Thylacine walks across the dingo. Was that photoshopped?
Christopher Kartes
😱 what wAS up with that!???
Old stock footage maybe?
The Dingo looks at it though and is nervous
Yeah. I want to know what the source of that footage was. Seems like a "re-creation" clip from some cryptozoology doc. Odd choice.
yeah I was shocked.. that is some new footage of thylacine
They remind me of my Blue Heeler. These are beautiful critters.
I think they should put the wolves on the endangered list. That means they won't be aloud to hurt wolves anymore.
Journey Wolf unfortunately here in Victoria dingoes are on the endangered species list and there is still a $100 bounty paid for dingoes that are shot outside protected national parks :( )
totally agree
Do you know what uncontrolled wolf population does to other animals?
@@sokolshala485 What nature does to things that over breed.
Create a food shortage which would cause animals to look for food elsewhere. (common as all animals do this)
At which point the population would decrease rapidly from feminine, disease, pests, and most importantly human intervention. Also your aware that the majority of hunts fail.
An "uncontrolled" wolf population is still very much a controlled population.
Sokol Shala exactly what nature intended that’s what
What animal runs across the screen at 00:29?? It looks like a thylacine! Please someone let me know what it was.
That's weird an Tasmanian tiger and they've been extinct for a long time 0:29 🐅
yep
Yes, I thought the same. Guessing a bit of borrowed footage from a documentary or something.
If you look it up there's actually been quite a few sighting of them in the last couple years so I don't think they are completely extinct as we think
There's also the Mandela Effect. There's quite a few animals that shouldn't exist, but do. Like the Shoebill (Giant man eating Stork) and the Cassowary (giant man eating dinosaur). They are alive and well, but look like CGI animals, because they are like small dinosaurs. I don't remember these animals existing at all, but suddenly they appeared about 2 or 3 years ago. There are also flying foxes now. Somehow they want to make it seem like Flying Foxes are a normal thing. No no... There was never flying foxes (huge bats with a 6 foot wingspan) when I was a kid.
@@Ritalie a cassowary is not a giant man eating dinosaur wut
I think I love you Pascale!!!!!!
Much respect for this man and his effort...we in Ny queens support . I'm surprised Some Aussie are like the ranchers in America who are butchers to wolves and coyotes...
I’m sitting here in Bethesda, Maryland, USA with my Guide/Medical Alert/PTSD Therapeutic Dingo. He’s great!, smart as can be and gets along with every dog in the neighborhood, big or small . I trained him for obedience, guide and animal coexistence when he first arrived in the area as a rescue. Every couple of days he’s in the presence of Deer but won’t bother them. And they won’t run from him. He was then trained elsewhere for the rest. And very affectionate!
nice one anna☺
I had a dingo / collie mix. That was the best dog I ever had! I sure miss and can never replace him!
