[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 418250, member: 1991"] Witz, that link words the possible connection rather carelessly. "...and other primitive breeds LIKE the Australian dingo." I'm also nervous of that link because its main purpose appears to be to promote someone's book on the subject. Not necessarily scientifically objective. Wikipedia link seems to say that DNA testing is currently incomplete and inconclusive. Not that I am trying to protect the Aussie dingo from possible further mongrel status - "dingo" in Aussie lingo is a derogatory term! I'm just pushing for scientific accuracy and caution. "Carolina dog" seems to be an accepted label for now for a type of wild-origin dog in the US which bears a physical resemblance in some ways to the Aussie dingo. Steely, your pup is gorgeous. But her eyes are wider than an Aussie dingo. Maybe because she's still a wide-eyed innocent? Sorry, just being flippant there. Seriously, even the pups usually have the narrower eyes. We always say it's to keep out the wind-borne desert dust. "Way out back o' Bourke where the crows fly backwards to keep the sand out of their eyes..." Marg [/QUOTE]
