 Lab Totem
  •  Doorzettende dingo – Persevering dingo
Foto
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.

Characteristics: active, communicative, persevering, intelligent, quiet, social, independent
