As both dogs and dingoes are only wolves in neater clothes and all can interbreed and produce viable offspring, perhaps, I'll retract my suggestion and return to Canis lupus.

Thanks Don, I was working on a reply quoting your recent article in the NPA Bulletin Vol 62, No 4 December 2025. Canis dingo is a more apt description based on recent DNA data. Also early European descriptions of southeast Australian dingoes included the descriptions black, white, tan and brindle.

And other modern ones say Canis dingo. The DNA says closer to Asian Wolf than to domestic dog.

Older sources say the dingo is Canis lupus dingo, however, more modern sources list the dingo as Canis familiaris dingo, indicating a closer relationship to the domestic dog than the wolf. Those are gorgeously healthy dingoes.

Thanks Jill, she was jumping around, bumping into the guard rail, fences and trees and hopping onto the road so I'm glad I got her before she was hit by a car. Hope they're able to find out what the parasite is and a cure for it
