Crossroads Dingo Rescue

Miss Nowra and bonnie attending vet today .Bonnie hasn’t been well, she has been depressed and aloof , she avoids Nowra and hangs back from interaction with her best friend Burra.
Bonnie has reasonable days but then slips back , not sure what ails her ,now 9 I guess I must expect her age to be a factor , albeit all prior have been from 15 to 19 , so her and I have had a talk , I tell her she has another 9 years in her and how lost I would be with out her , not to mention her ability to calm the most upset contrary dingo that comes into our care .
Nowra has a broken tooth , have no idea how or when but I notice some look unhealthy , she is loosing her baby teeth but we need healthy gums for her new real ones , bonnie being with her hopefully will keep her calm , Nowra having turned into a hate human girl ( except her mum and dad ) .
Every thing goes wrong at the same time , hot water system just blew up ,car battery ( new ) needs replacing .
Working every hour to get the pens up , for pindan Mirrhi arana and indeed miss Nowra, still short a few pens , Django has waited patiently .

Massive thanks to Pearl Ngatai Bret , Craig ,John , so much help you have given us , bloody hard work and stinking hot yet you give up your time off to help , …thanks just isn’t enough ,
Thanks young Joe and his friend ( for being a great help amusing pindan and Nowra) great couple of boys keen to learn about dingoes .

If you would like to help please donate to assist with vets , and to finished much ergently required pens .

well today I grabbed miss nowra by the scruff of her neck with my teeth and shook her , [ i was on my hands and knees when she decided she was going to rip my hair out pull off my face ,you know all normal dingo behaviour] , horrified you may be , little wee girl has an attitude from hell .
so after the initial shock of this human doing a dingo mum thingy on her , she jumped back and came at me like a little bull , oh dear , gave her a hug and calmed her down , then she took after bonnie , biting and growling trying her little dingo act on , so bonnie sat on her . she was then more respectful of poor bonnie , who i might add has the patience of a saint with these dingo kids .

Wee Nowra as small and fragile ,is very selective in who she permits to hold her , already she hides from that which confuses her ,
Snuffs and yips at strange things , and too, already she has her routine ,.
She happily trots over to the paddock, she runs and plays with bonnie , she then goes to the gate and makes her way down a bit of a track to another paddock , again she digs and and examines every thing , from there she heads to another paddock this has got lots of exciting smells , she grabs snails and eats them , she eats charcoal, pulls at the bark and eats that she likes the wild oats .she will graze on different grass ,
Digs for worms , rolls if foul smelling dead leaves .
The thing with dingoes is routine , every thing is a map in their mind , every path is well noted and constant .a safe route .
Habit and routine, not hard to track a dingo due to this behaviour, every day at the same time they will walk a familiar path .
Every one they associate with , must be a constant , change and unfamiliar settings and people create anxiety and insecurity . This anxiety and insecurity can create a chain reaction where by they will then retaliate or simply go into to a depression of none acknowledgement . They turn off .( self preservation)
We had visitors last weekend and Burra feels safe in his crate, but will not venture out while strange people are here .
For 2 days following we had to coax him out while he tentatively sought to be sure no one else was here , even when taking him to his favorite place he had to be convinced all was as it should be .
It is not just a particular dingo it is all dingoes, more noted in wild born .
Hense my concern and indeed my reasons for being extremely astute in finding a dingo the right home ,
They do not cope with constant change , they bond with one and one only ( family ) should that family separate the dingo will suffer as any child , abandonment issues, resentment ,fretting, depression .
A few here came from disruptive or broken homes , one has to be a councilor to understand the many emotional upheaval the dingo goes through .
So again I advice if you choose to live with a dingo , it is a life time commitment one the must be honoured , no different than a child .

I was of a mind that I know dingoes I know their characteristic their traits ,their family structures , I thought I knew the dynamics, years and years of living with the dingo , studying them in their natural enviroment, learning, not just looking watching, but seeing , not just hearing but listening, not just assuming but knowing , how they teach their young , how they forward their history their knowledge their learning onto their young .
Today I question that knowledge , what I thought I knew , all I learned .

Dingoes dont run in packs , they have a family structure .
Dingoes dont breed untill 2- 3 years old .
Dingoes are territorial solitary animals , dingoes have one season a year , hybrids have 2

Today there is no structure , they congregate in numbers but all are young immatures.

A scientist will tell you a hybrid has only one season a year, ( like the dingo ) another will.say pure dingoes have two cycles per year .
Confusing information
all primitive canids, wolves, NGSD, basenji all have one cycle per year , nature’s way of controlling over breeding . (Common sense)
Hybrids do breed twice a year regardless of how high the dingo content .regardless of dingo % they have dog in them,
By killing the bonded pair the young have no learning , there is no knowledge passed down .like feral kids they run in groups, band together for protection

Feral dogs run in packs , a pack of feral dogs will kill a family of dingoes , a lone dingo has no chance
Feral dogs are taking dingo pups from dens and killing them.
The feral dog another major threat to the dingo ,

By this over killing of dingoes , the feral thrives , by this over killing of dingoes there is no structure, by removing the most learned dingo thousands of years of knowledge is gone .
By this killing of one of a bonded pair we have a lone dingo no longer with a life time mate, now dissociated now lost .

We now have panic breeding, numbers are dropping nature trying to rebuild replace that which should never have been broken .
We find inbreeding with our dingoes in remote areas , due to bonded pairs being ripped apart due to numbers of pure dingoes dropping ( never would this occur)

We have anachy in nature we have confusion , we have no balance , nothing is as it should be . Over breeding is now creating it’s own problems, feast or famine , now the dingo feeds on his own , not enough sustainable food . What a debacle we have created, the ripple effect of human greed ignorance at how nature works ,like a finely tuned machine untill man puts a spoke in the wheel , nothing is as it was nor as it should be or will ever be again .

The obvious issue that will occur once the dingo is gone , plagues of rats mice and roos , plagues of locus what I asked will you do ? We shoot the roos to control , for meat and fur ( oh financial gain the roo is financially viability )
, maybe had we all agreed to the Chinese dingo meat trade there may have been financial viability in giving the dingo a reprieve.
they were sending dingoes to China for many years his sexual organs a highly priced aphrodisiac his fur highly regarded in China as was the Tasmanian tiger , was not the dingo responsible for the extinction of the thylacine was greed and the fur trade.
