Dingo Diary

We had a visit from @bikers on HOGS for DOGS Bikers on HOGS for DOGS Inc today. They bought along some of their supporters and….. we have some good news but can’t say what it is yet ???

I shared the now found proof of our dingo being a” TRUE BLUE NATIVE AUSTRALIAN SPECIES , ( at last) the proof of what has been forever obvious )

The dingo is not a dog and dog behaviour should not be expected .
When hearing how people believe they can stop bad behaviour in a dog ( referring to the dingo in their care ) is of great concern

When animal behaviourists insist that dingo must obey .
Many resorting to the use of mind altering drugs prozac, endone, endep and others

When animal trainers also insist on obedience by any means available

Many have visited here , disorientated incapable of thought much less action

The use of electric collars to force obedience and compliancy
I wonder can you imagine being zapped when your nature is to run . seek a bolt hole , or refuse to sit on command
Will that constant electric currant hitting you every time you do not comply eventually break you or send you mad ?

Control appears to be the substance of human nature , are we so insignifican we must reduce a strong wild apex predator to compliancy to feel significant ?
To feel empowered, to prove our strength due to the lack of
It is not strength it is weakness , it is not understanding it is ignorance
It is not for the love of the animal it is to satisfy that which is lacking within your selves .

Empowerment, ego, arrogance ,weakness

Perhaps when we are at peace with who we are
Without the need to figure out the why we are
Maybe then the knowledge and understanding of nature and the dingo and all things wild will then and only then be respected for why they are and who they are .
Harmony may prevail .
Crossroads.

Early morning run over to the exercise yard with Nowra
A car pulls out and she is in an absolute panic
Now 15 months old , has met many people so for a wild child one can say she has been socialised , albeit she will not interact unless a person visits regularly, and only tentatively does she check that person out
They remain in their crates when people arrive they will not come out .
Arana now over 4 years old refuses to interact and again when people arrive she cant get to her crate quick enough
They can not be removed from their familiar surroundings

They are not tame by any account.
Yet have been hand raised . so this raises the question of human imprinting ? It doesnt change the hard wired wild in our dingo .

Pilbara now 5 years old hand raised from very young, well socialised with constant handling , he has only accepted one other person in his pen and remained calm ( Deonne)
He loves to come out for walks but cannot be removed from the property , he can not cope with strangers or strange noises.
He too remains wild .
In all my years of working with wild dingoes none are or were tame .
So i wonder why they use the word ” tame” when referring to the Fraser Island dingo
He is not tame . he has been conditioned from many years of interference, many years of intrusion and many years of encroachment on and in his natural habitate .
Big difference between tame and conditioned .
Conditioned to not fear humans makes for a very dangerous situation .

Nowra ..zoom zoom . wait for Arana yayy so much fun living with dingoes ( wild born
