Dingos are smart, rugged, healthy, and heat tolerant. When I lived in Australia and bred Labs, one of my fellow Lab breeders quietly advocated a Lab x dingo, bred selectively for Labrador temperament, as a way to get around the problem of heat intolerance in Labs. This would, of course, put the purebred fancy in a tizzy, so the idea wasn't voiced publicly.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14389321571689128858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684843.post-42324426473606728252018-01-14T13:44:23.719-05:002018-01-14T13:44:23.719-05:00The short answer is they don’t.

Getting s dingo to Point better than a pointer, or retrieve better than retriever, or go down a whole after a fox or badger or groundhog, is not going to happen. By the same token, a dingo will never be able to out run a greyhound or other long dog. Any wild dog crossed with a domestic dog will have less voice than a bang dog such as a beagle, or foxhound, and will not win the competition hunting rabbits, bear, or mountain lion.PBurnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05781540805883519064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684843.post-23426324604969203172018-01-14T10:43:14.806-05:002018-01-14T10:43:14.806-05:00I have always wondered if a dingo/mix would make a...I have always wondered if a dingo/mix would make a good hunter.T.Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12529016861913218922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684843.post-25653690110996287102018-01-12T09:37:34.373-05:002018-01-12T09:37:34.373-05:00A French Bulldog dog has been overlayed onto a nat...A French Bulldog dog has been overlayed onto a natural dog -- a wild dingo.
