Dingos - General Information
The issue of taming them creates a lot of trouble, even though those raised from puppies can grow into affectionate pets. The keeper is doomed to constantly keeping an eye on a Dingo because of its agility. High fences and suitable conditions are absolutely necessary.
Dingos - DescriptionThe Dingo is similar to the domestic dog in structure and habits. It is stout, with strong hind legs, short, soft fur, a bushy long tail, erect, pointed ears and eyes varying in color from yellow to orange. It is about 1.2 m (4 feet) long and it stands about 60 cm (19-23 inches) at the shoulder. The Dingo weighs about 50-70 pounds. Its color varies between yellowish and reddish brown. Most Dingoes have white under-parts, feet and tail tip. Light colors are rare, though possible.
Dingos - Reproduction and BreedingTheir gestation period lasts about 62 days. They usually bear litters of 4 to 5 pups. The task of raising the offspring is set before both parents and sometimes the social group. However, the mother is leading caretaker, especially during the first days of their life. The process of feeding consists of a few stages. Being two weeks old the pups consume only regurgitated food. Some time later, little Dingoes will be able to come out and eat small mammals without any help.Dingos - Conservation and Management InformationA Draft Dingo Management Strategy for Fraser Island - Objectives set by the organization and information on the Dingo dog.
