- Doorzettende dingo – Persevering dingo
|
This wild Australian dog does not bark, but communicates via a wolfish howl. The dingo is intelligent and very independent, and therefore difficult to temper. He lives in small, close families. He is a persevering hunter. The dingo is alternately active and quiet.
