Best looking Breed?

On looks,the dogo argentino.

Non native wild animals are still wild regardless of where they are not feral. Would a true feral dog that had been bred for generations in the wild be tameable like feral cats can from a young age or would they still be wild?

I've seen on here about an island which has a healthy population of feral ferrets that have been there a very long time so I wonder if they still carry the domesticated traits like being tractable or are they mad like proper poleys? If they were able to be tamed it would be a good way of getting back some old working strains.

I think mammals in general can be tamed to an extent.. so those ferrets on thon Island would be great to add fresh dna. It would probably be better to grab some jills and let them go in a controlled spot, with a collar on, and in heat... rather than try to tame the wild ones.

That's kinda my take on it too. Feral implies escaped stock. Wild implies breeding naturally and left to their own devices.

This is what happens when you let mother nature decide the evolution of the dog. Would any man made dog survive in their environment?

And they have the best success rate for hunts out of all animals  67% successful, not bad for "feral dogs"

Fair one Born but does that open it up further?

The dingo has been in Australia for 3-4000 years. Would you class it as feral (as a lot of Aussies do), naturalised or wild?

a lot of Australians class dingo's  , wild dogs   and hybrids as free ranging dogs instead of feral

Free ranging is a new one but doesn't that just adds further steps?

I watched something recently about dogs, and apparently the African hunting dog is the only canine that cannot be domesticated ??

The documentary about them,  Sir D. Attenborough I think was awesome. 

Is the way they hunt through experience or inbred?

Cheers, D.

Deffo, the gayest looking dog thread is a few pages back I’m sure

 

 

im fairness I think Salukis look good, especially from a distance which is handy cos that’s where most owners see em, standing a mile away over there catch refusing to budge

lol lucky i had a telephoto lens on the camera that day    2 miles away
