Was gonna say, roughly, who has those options. Then this is top (Canadian?)
I am, of course, both. Wonder what happens if we release wolves in Australia. Guessing it happened and they died. Dingoes are cool though, and smart.
Loopy was the Timber wolf (named after cartoon wolf Loopy DeLoop) & Kushtaka was the Artic wolf (Loopy's son, named after the native shape shifting creature of lore)
Not that you asked, but I'm hoping this deflects from the fact that I am not, indeed, Canadian.
Sadly I am trapped in the infernal prison that lies directly south of Canada.
Dingoes are (I assume) a different flavor of Wolf. Smart, yes. Pack hunters, again, yes. I am no expert, but neither species are dog. I would hang out with them, though. I miss Loopy and Kush a lot. It's been years and they both died of old age.
Wolves in Australia sounds like a good band name.
My sympathies. On the odd occasion I have had a chance to hang out, dingoes were cool, not dogs, but aloof canids. Love to you and yours...
Not keen on 'Wolves in Australia' we seem to do fine without promoting bad invasive species, cane toads are enough.
They are most certianly dogs. I have one as a pet. Just not domestic european dogs.
Fair cop, no offense intended, just describing those I've met in the wild. I have an afghan hound, four thousand year old breed, that I would also class as 'aloof canid', still love me dog...
dingos arent aloof if you bond with them. Humans just expect dogs to fall over themselves to be their friends and miss read dingos body language.
