dingo x greyhound

[honesthunter 13]

i would be interested in it myself because the dingo is a wild dog but was domesticated once, and people domesticate them now, i would see it as a little experiment, a bit like selectively breeding wolves till they became our dogs of today. I don't know what the results would be. just wondering if any of you boys from aus could shed some light on it, has it been done? and was there any point?

and a pre-emptive 'f**k you' to any messers that decide that this is stupid, it aint, its just observation and debate, its how your mind grows. allow it.

I think its an interesting topic as most of the dingo blood on mainland oz is now mixed with domestic blood anyway, is it frazer island to the south where the only pure blood remains ??.i think it would out of curiosity make an interesting mix a dingo is fast, hardy and has a wild prey drive dont know what they would be like to stock break though.

if crossed to a very biddable greyhound from biddable lines, i shouldnt think it would be a bad x, yeah i think it is frazer island, will have to wait for someone from oz to confirm that tho. i would have thought that any lurchermen in oz would have already seen the benefits and some would have done it by now.

 

the physical traits of a dog that has been naturally selected like the dingo can only be beneficial, cant they? they hunt in packs and alone, and the strongest have survived, to me it would be worthwhile at least having a little bit of dingo blood in my working dogs, if it was available to me.

I'm sure it has happened but probably not shouted about. You might have more luck trying some of the other primitive breeds.

A freind of mine in Oz had a "domesticated" Dingo. It was very freindly and lived in the house and was well house trained. It got on well with the other dog, a Skye Terrier; but you could not let it of the lead, if you did it had to be cornered and got agressive when caught. It had the run of a big paddock but would dig under the fence and escape if not watched constantly! A few Ozzies have tried domesticating them and breeding them, but with little success.

Nothing better to do than dream about rubbish ..and before you think i'm a messer take it a step further and think why not instead of why

Saw one at Apleby Fair a couple of years ago; absolutely stunning looking; but the owner said it couldn't run to save it's life !!

yeah i remember years ago the old man taking out the uncles afghan for fox, she hurdled 5ft gate no problem but fox got away easy enough,no stamina.
