    A little off topic but....there are a lot of wolf/wolf hybrids that are kept as pets here in Alaska. The ones Ive seen were sort of pitiful, very shy, didnt like being inside and constantly paced the perimiter of their yards.

        Looks like there are in fact "purebred dingos" being offered by breeders now. Not sure if any in Canada are doing so, but there very well could be. I've also seen some articles on something called an "Australian herding dog" of which looked like pretty nice dogs too. Not too huge, but still big enough to be considered "not a dog for wimps". ha ha

          gotta be careful of those, they are bred to be cattle dogs and as such are very nippy - they'll nip people on the ankles and what not especially when cooped up on a normal quarter acre block - they're meant to be on farms.

                    Further to: dingos as pets,

                    I'm finding a lot of sites and pages where it becomes clear that dingos are indeed raised as pets, sold as pets, trained, etc.

                      Yup the small town I lived in in Australia for a while had a really wide main street. Reason being to allow enough space for the camel drivers (jockeys?) to turn around.

                      I worked in remote desert areas with helicopters for a couple years and saw lots of camels from the air and two dingo's one from the air and one on the ground.

                      The one I saw on the ground came running around the corner in a dry river bed and when it saw me the look on its face was priceless. It was about 10 feet away and looked at me like "what/who the fuck are you??" like I was an alien. I can guarantee it had never seen a human and it took off as fast as it could in the opposite direction.

                        "Dingoes can be kept as pets if they are taken from the litter before 6 weeks of age. At this young age they can be tamed, but once over 10 weeks they should not be taken out of the wild. If properly trained and cared for the Dingo can make a very nice unique pet.

                        They are said to be able to perform agility and general obedience. The dingo has some unusual traits - a great tree climber and at times a bit aloof, but these are interesting traits and are in the same category as the dingoes nearest cousin the New Guinea Singing Dog and the Finnish Spitz, but displaying the same characteristics. They do not have the same degree of tooth crowding and shortening of the jaw that distinguish other dog breeds from their ancestor, the Indian Plains Wolf. Also like the wolf, the female Dingo has only one breeding cycle each year.

                        Unlike other dogs, the Dingo chooses a mate for life, sometimes mourning itself to death after the loss of its partner."

                          Interesting stuff... Fraser Island has heaps of dingos. I have gone on camping trips there before, and the dingo population used to be timid and not really try to interact with people, but over the last few years they started a dingo cull on Fraser Island because dingos would walk right in to your camp and go straight for the food and they were attacking people that were there. Now, I don't know the finer details like where the breed originated from and that sort of thing, but they are a wild animal with sharp teeth. The wilderness is in their blood, yeah. Like, the same question could be asked about Timber Wolves, lions, tigers and crocs. Like, how come they don't export wolves, or lions as pets? If you train them well why couldn't you? Geuss it's hard to predict how they are gonna turn out, and if they lash out even once, then that could mean the end of you, or even yo baby, LOL.
