[QUOTE="Steely, post: 430301, member: 3301"] Well of course I have to chime in, although you have heard my dingo/ding dong stories already on here:) First of all I have Tesla, who I adopted from a shelter around the first of the year. Matt and I went around and around on what name to give her, as he wanted to choose a "bad :censored2:" dog name. We were driving to Flagstaff to get her, and the band Tesla was playing, and that was it. Not to mention the cool car Tesla, and the scientist of electricity, Tesla. And she has lived up to every ounce of her name. I had her for 3 months, 3 months of little rest because of her insatiable energy, when someone mentioned to me that she looked like an American Dingo. Yep, that is what she is! I called the "dingo dog whisperer" and we have had some cool conversations about this breed. Very rare, very unusual and feral - and more than a handful. She is a little difficult child, with a heart of of gold. Her fur is bright ginger/pumpkin color and when she runs in the desert her bright orange tongue hangs halfway to her "knees". She is awesome, and we hike for miles together, without her every wavering. She can climb rocks like a gazelle, and she builds nest in the sand in which to hide in. Then I have Diesel, who lives with matt, that we got from a shelter when Matt was 16 for his birthday. Apparently Diesel had a Mom that was a full blood Husky, but he has short fur, floppy ears, and more the body of pit. He is a huge love!!! Perhaps my favorite of my bunch. But how can you have favorites? I guess just because he is the most humanized of the bunch. And then we have Steele, which we adopted 9 months after Diesel. He also lives with Matt. Steele came from a farm, with a Lab mom, but he is actually half coyote. His eyes are amazing. And he is a feral dog that took me a lot of work to domesticate. He is still afraid of all humans, and although not at all aggressive, he flees from humans. It takes the human coming over to the house many, many times before he will even come near them. Diesel and Steele are inseparable, and their other brother Chester passed away after 15 years in October. Matt and my goal was that Tesla would be part of the pack. However Diesel wants zero part of that. He is pretty dog aggressive, and although I have done everything the dog whisperer suggests to get him and Tesla to get along it is not happening. So, no sister for them. [/QUOTE]
