Take note of Pindan
Photo taken yesterday
Pindan bred by commercial breeder in the Eastern states sold as pure ( DNA 99.96)
Not pure .
Note the size of Pindan then ask yourself why put this Alpine ( cross ) over one as small as our Kimberly girl Arana .

We have put together a collection of photos of dingoes
hopefully showing the difference between each variety , understanding dingoes are different depending on their geographical place of origin.
We would also hope we can educate the uneducated on the different varieties of dingoes.

We would also state while we accept opinions will differ and we welcome opinions , we would ask that you do your research .
We would also request “respect “, if you have an axe to grind grind that axe else where .
We would appreciate you do not incite hatred,anger, doubt and unnecessary concern in the minds of those who have little or no knowledge on the dingo, causing the ignorant and uneducated to harass and annoy ,whereby we must endure phone calls from said people .[ all private and unknown numbers]
When using words EMACIATED and PROFESSIONAL again I request you are well informed before you make such unwarranted uneducated statements with intent to incite anger
Do not undermine my intelligence.
Do not undermine my knowledge
Do not undermine my 40 + years of experience working with WA wild born dingo

TAKE NOTE , wild life vet attended for the benefit of those concerned, all dingoes in our care are healthy , lively, bright well cared for.
On a personal level one would question the severe lack of integrity and perhaps a degree of narcissism , seriously ill informed with intent to cause harm .

You will notice the difference between Arana Wild born Kimberly girl and Mirrhi alpine desert cross [domestic bred].

Arana is slightly built, small statue and at age 5 weighs 11.5 kilo , she has fine silk like hair , long neck, wedged shape head, no stop at bridge of nose she is twice proven DNA as 100% pure, no dog markers .
Arana arrived approximate age of 10 weeks , it took 4 years for her to willingly come for interaction , she remains very aloof timid, excruciatingly afraid of strange people .
agile and flexible.
Arana will remain slight .
she will not engage in aggressive interaction , self preserving , will only defend if her life is in danger.

Mirrhi domestic bred, Alpine, desert [Pilbara] cross
not as large as Alpine, bigger than desert , fur is thick, bone structure is bigger , yet she is neither desert nor alpine. shorter in body length .
confident enough to retaliate if taken for granted .
will initiate altercation and determine to eradicate .
Mirrhi and Arana were inseparable until Mirrhi decided Arana had to go .
Mirrhi also with intent attacked and caused serious wounds to Jedda. [ Jedda being her surrogate parent] point here , domestic breeding is creating damaged dingoes .
Mirrhi inherited the Alpine fur .
The question is why cross two totally different dingo groups ?. never would they breed due to their geographic differences .

Further you will see the difference between Nowra and Arana
Nowra is Pilbara wild born age 2.5 years .[Telfer ]
Nowra arrived at age 4 weeks , she remains aloof timid , she is larger than Arana has thicker fur.
very different in appearance to Kimberly Arana.

Nowra`s recent DNA has shown she is 100% pure, no dog markers
Due to ongoing culling in the area of where Nowra was found it was very doubtful she would be pure .
Since her arrival and due to an incident through human error , many were destroyed, perhaps she is one of the last of our pure Telfer dingo.

The Pilbara orphans, the subject of so much angst .
they are not emaciated as has been suggested and claimed,
they are regularly vet checked as recently as Saturday by well and highly regarded Vet whom treats animals in wild life parks and well educated on the dingo.

If well educated one would understand the difference between our desert dingo, Alpine [Eastern states ] tropical .
understanding each dingo is different depending on location and terrain .
Their DNA has adapted over thousands of years to suit their geographic location.
Arana is from Kununurra, 1500 klms to the north of where Nowra is from.
The Rudall River pups are 200 klms to the south of Nowra`s home.
Note the difference in Nowra compared to the Rudall River orphans .
Other photos displayed are of a elderly dingo rescued from pound on the day of pending euthanasia, the pictures show how her ears had been so neglected , in her 4 years with us she had 5 procedures on her ears .

Further to possible interest the following is DNA on Rudall River orphans [gratitude to professor Bill Ballard ]
DAKU 99.97%
APANI 99.98%
BALAN 100%pure [no dog markers]
As stated Nowra from telfa also pure at 100%[ no dog markers
All from same litter Daku , Apani, Balan ]would have been interesting to have the DNA from the 6 pups .
DNA was collected from 5 pups sent to Kylie Cairns,[we await the results.
In saying that since the arrival of the orphans [ now 6 months old ] over 350 dingoes have been culled in the precise area of the Rudall River pups [ again we may have the only remaining dingoes from that area

So my opinion for what it may be worth [naysayers included ]
Perhaps and during my involvement with Agriculture Protection board [ Bio Security ] and in-depth discussions during the 70s it may well be as was stated the pure dingo is gone and what we have is hybrids .
DNA not being available at that time.
Perhaps the Rudall River orphans parents were pure , but sadly from generations past the dog has reared its head .
which again proves a point of interest in my past comments I have stated “once the blood is tainted it remains tainted” , a drop of blood in a bucket of milk does no sink to the bottom it disperses.
The idea of putting a pure dingo over a hybrid producing pure dingo is ludicrous.
The belief hybrids are essential in the environment is again folly , further dilution of our dingo,with added issues .
Or is it a case of, all are hybrid , but will throw on chance a pure pup , he /she in turn will throw pure but at some time the dog will be noted .
Take into consideration the mind set of the Agriculture Board from the beginning was to eradicate the dingo as with the thylacine , dropping dogs in remote areas to” breed them out “go back over 200 years .perhaps they have won their war on our dingo .
Question to ask.. do you want hybrids [ perhaps too late to have a choice ] or do you want to save the possible pure wild dingo again perhaps to late.

So whilst one chooses to attack us here at Crossroads , your energy might be put to better use by attempting to eradicate the hybrid and back yard breeding, commercial breeding and dog like dingoes and make an attempt to save what we might by chance still have , Pure wild dingo , but as with a game of Russian roulette, might just have to take the chance of a pure and accept some where in his or her history will be dog .
Have we lost our dingo ?

Can I help you do the dishes please? Also, I want some kisses.

Balan and Daku spent the day out side today .
Rotating daily ,between Burra and Apani one day and the boys the next .
Hopefully this will prepare them for the transition for when we build their pens .

Burra is the most placid boy.
In his near 6 years here, never have I heard a growl or seen aggression .
Since he has become the mentor for Apani he is apparently taking his new found parental roll very seriously.
He moves her aside when she gets over exerburant with Bonnie , when she bites Bonnie he nips her .

Apani attempted to steal Burra’s dinner , in a flash he rolled her swearing profusely in her face .
The next day Miss Apani ,finished her dinner raced around to Burra .
Burra didn’t move he stood stock still, slowly raised his head glared at her , she stopped dead in her tracks tucked her tail and very quietly moved away .

“Wow” I thought how easy was that ?
My point being, parental discipline is a crucial factor .
In the life of our dingo .
Hense when the parents are killed we have the juveniles.
The juveniles then form groups of uncontrolled, uneducated, undisciplined delinquents.
As with all wild life they must be taught wild lore, knowledge is survival discipline keeps them safe
Education is paramount for their survival ,manners and respect for the elders is crucial
Keeping clear of humans
Is one lesson not taught when parents are gone .
In saying that, it is no different to an elder ( indigenous folk ) handing down knowledge and history to the next generation

The adult dingoes hold the ancient knowledge and history , without the older adults the young generation are floundering, with out skills with out fear
Like teenage gangs surrounded by temptations, they have little fear due to the need to form alliances with other orphaned pups they have not had the discipline required. unfortunately inbreeding over breeding ,particually around mine sites where food can be in abundance is ultimately assisting in the untimely deaths as nature takes her toll.
Over breeding , insufficient food to sustain this now unprecedented breeding resulting in cannibalism.

Hense most concentrate on eradicating the adult dingo making the process of elimination of pups running in large groups easier to control .

I have just finished cleaning these ( top ) pens ( 3 hours)
Bunjil and Mirrhi had a run in the exercise yard
From left to right is Burra and Apani ,Apani has discovered she can run up the wire
Burra and Apani are not impressed they are out side .( they come in at night )
Pindan is unhappy he wants to come in “,it’s too hot” he tells me

Mirrhi is next , 4 weeks old when she arrived
Result of no care breeding ( Arther River Wagin area ) we have 3 of that breeders.
another being Ceasar he has HIP dysplasia .
Be careful what you buy from unscrupulous breeders .

Next of course is Bunjil .
It would take to long to rant about his breeder
Still breeding today ( inbreeding siblings)

However it’s obvious I’m not in a great mood .
First 3 hours spent on running dingoes from inside to exersize yard, supervising and returning them back

Cleaning 4 pens . With 10 pens to go
Yep I shouldn’t be here having a bitch .
Coffee break and bitch time

The howling you may hear in the back ground is due to the two kids ( dingoes ) moved from where Burra and Apani are, to their refurbished pen
They are distressed and depressed .
This of course is upsetting the rest
The need to move them was due to them not accepting a dingo in the pen next to them ( where Pindan is now ) their aggression was intense .
However it also is upsetting to.me to see these two so unhappy, wanting to go back to what they feel is their pen .

What does one do ??

I still have to mow the back yard ( hand mow )
Nothing is easy here .

A major concern is fire , I’m terrified of fire ,there is no way to remove any animal from Here , hell I don’t even have a reliable car
I wouldn’t have a car if it had not been for the generosity of another .
However it is tied. I can not transport dingoes un restrained ,.. with no air condition in excessive heat .

Now I can’t be bothered continuing to whinge .
So I’ll get back to cleaning pens , doing the meds rounds and quietly stew on the fact no dingo here is due to my negligence .
No dingo here was recklessly bred by me .
Should I continue my rant I would yell abuse at all who have defamed us .
Those who lead people away from rehoming the dingoes here , with vindictive intent .
Those who with malice bring in dingoes from over East rescues .
Many of which we have been requested to take

All good sorry it’s meant to be the festive season , tell that to the dingoes here .
And no I do not feel better .

Sprinklers go all day to keep thses animals cool .
