You can take the dingo
out of the wild but never the wild out of the dingo...
It's important to be 100%
sure that you get all the information and education prior to making this full
time commitment from experienced owners.
This is a decision that
will change your life. Dingoes will dig and jump fences and require a fully
secure enclosure. Exercise is a necessity with attention given every day.
Dingoes do make wonderful
companion animals provided they get the care that they need.
Dingoes are naturally
gentle, shy and timid. They can be very friendly with the right person.
When raised in human
cohabitation they love to play and socialise.
It takes a special
tolerance, love and responsibility to keep a dingo in the home.
The best age to acquire
your dingo is between five and sixteen weeks old.
Dingoes are more forward
than domestic dogs and need to bond best with a new family and environment
early in life.
Constant socialization
and exposure to new environmental factors is required in the first year of
their life for lasting success.
Also for the dingoes’ wellbeing
it is important that they stay with their bonded family and familiar
surrounding for their lifetime.
They don't often have success
in re-homing. More times than not they end up being euthanised. (put to sleep).
That's why it is so very
important to seriously consider that you can commit 100% and look after your
dingo for their lifetime, before acting on a whim to own one.
* Depending on where and
which state you live in, there are different laws and requirements in owning a
pure dingo.
