My dog is actually descended from dingos. Part of their breed.
What’s their behavior like?
Ive got a pariah dog too but not dingo. Incredibly prey driven. Does not bark much unless she has a reason. Very bad with other dogs, tests their reflexes if given the chance. Used to be bad with people and food possessive but she’s good now after years of training and socialization.
Also is an escape artist. Climbed a nine foot chain link fence and chewed through stucco.
Do you pet random dogs on the street? No? Then you won’t have any problems with Dingoes. Drop Bears on the other hand…
There are countries where all dogs have owners (mostly on the other side of the leash) and you are always supposed to ask the owners before you pet them.
And then there are countries blessed with really cute street dogs that tend to turn tummy up when you’re passing them. You’re supposed to pet those randomly.
And which do you think Australia is?
The kind with the cute doggies that let you pet them all the time?
Don’t ruin my hopes and dreams.
What? Of course I pet random dogs on the street. You don’t?
I mean, I ask first, if they’re with a human… if not, well…
Hot take (I’ll accept my downward facing arrows, thank you), but people regularly vastly overestimate the safety and docility of “regular” dogs too
That has more to do with owners than breeding.
With the notable exception of pitbulls.
Pitbulls also have the issue of being abused at higher rates then other breeds. It’s not all genetic
