Researcher Gisela Kaplan, of the University of New England in Armidale, said the number of purebred native dogs was rapidly declining, and the species could become extinct in the next 50 years. "People in Australia who are working specifically with dingoes are well aware of the problem, but it's not widely known and not widely understood," she said. Australians' attitudes towards dingoes as the fierce enemy was behind the species' diminishing numbers. Professor Kaplan said attacks on livestock in rural areas, which were frequently carried out by domesticated dogs gone feral, or by hybrids of dingoes and domesticated dogs, were often incorrectly attributed to dingoes. advertisement advertisement "This kind of mauling is never dingo work," Professor Kaplan said. "They kill to feed, they don't kill to play." Innocent dingoes were being shot, and it did not help that some hybrids looked like dingoes, she said. "In most cases you don't get the culprits, you get the innocent ones." Professor Kaplan said that if a dingo was found to have mauled livestock, there was a good reason behind its behaviour, including trauma from the death of a family member. Research also showed dingoes actually preferred to eat kangaroo meat, she said. Long-term plans needed to be put in place to protect the breed that had lived in Australia for thousands of years. Professor Kaplan said the indiscriminate killing of dingoes had been a favoured response for too long. "The Australian dingo won't have a future unless there are distinct management plans for its survival," she said. - AAP :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:

[quote name='ellieangel']No I didn't know you lost you shepherd :( I looked at your photos Rinny was a lovely looking dog you must miss her terribly ! :cry:[/quote] Yeah, he was such a wonderful dog- but he just got to the point where the bad days outnumbered the good days. :( We feel more relieved than anything else because I suppose with an old dog you know their time is coming, whereas if he was younger (eg. under 5 yo) it would be much more heartbreaking. And he had severe arthritis and was blind, deaf, stroke-affected, so it definitely wasn't a huge shock (still sad though). :angel: But I am so happy that BK the horror dog is growing up, at the age of (almost) 8, better late than never eh! :D

Have not had any probs today (touch wood) so hopefully the gremlins have taken the hint and left. :wink:

For those of you who don't know we recently had to put our 16yo GSD, Rinny to sleep. :( Now we only have one little terror left, and he is coping well with the loss of his best mate. Dad has no plans to get him another little friend. :( So BK is finally king of the verandah which he has been itching for since we moved there (1997). He is a lot calmer now, it's almost like he doesn't have to prove anything anymore...? does that make sense? Even though he was alpha he must have felt he had to constantly assert himself over Rinny, and now he doesn't have to. Dad has even started letting him in sometimes (this is very exciting!), because he knows that BK is a little bit lonely now. He's behaved himself really well inside, not acting psycho like he used to but all calm and, dare I say, mature. :D Dad is also getting the house painted and BK is excited because he loves the painters and they love him, plus they are around all the time so he has people to annoy. :angel:

:lol: :lol: I bags Petal, she sounds like my canine equivalent :lol: :lol:

At grandad's house the hall is made of marble and we would throw toys up the hallway (from the kitchen to grandad's room) and the dogs would go skidding at the end after the toy. It was hilarious! We still do it with Tomson because he is far more obssessed with toys than the fat twins ever were. :D

I signed it. Crazy stupid people. :evil:

Excellent pics, there are cards with some of those photos on them here :D I love the bulldog one and the "tough" guy. :D

:oops: I am guilty of being bk's mummy!

Bk never got food when we were eating but he frequently gets the leftovers. He is very funny- doesn't like rice, noodles or pasta, but likes the sauce it's covered in, so he will try to lick the sauce off the rice etc. and end up eating it anyway. :) He was so gentle with food that I used to be able to stick a sausage in my mouth and have him take the other end, before he and Rinny lived together and he had competition. He also knows that he can get nicer food off me than anyone else eg. he won't eat a hot chip if I give it to him (he'll wait for the chicken!) but if someone else gives him a hot chip he'll scoff it down. Sometimes I wish he was not quite so smart as he is. :roll: :lol:

She is adorable. :angel:

:x Wasn't a little kid just mauled by a [b]Lab or Golden [/b] (yes, the breed "least likely to" :-? ) in QLD recently??? Don't see [b]them [/b]on the list. :roll: Bloody pack of regressive rednecks (I am allowed to badmouth banana-benders because my mum is one! :lol: ). Is there anything we can do?

ha ha, very cute! thanks Hazel. :D

I have seen Royal Canin (which I have heard is good but rich, or something). There's always BARF if you have the time to prepare it and think it's a good idea. Aroura knows more about dog food brands available here, pm her or get her to come over to this thread. :wink:

I have also been getting weird "not enough memory to access site" messages too, I thought it might have been my internet connection (ie. if it was over the limit) but I think it is the site! :-?

This is a good topic! BK would be some sort of handsome celebrity. Model, diva, actor, rocker, footy player, tv host, anything that requires him to have lots of aides and assistance. He would have a massive entourage of adoring fans clamouring for his attention, and he would sleep with all of them, but would love only one other person and be their life slave, if they could put up with his prima donna antics. He would get his photo in the tabloids a lot for his bad behaviour. :wink:

I'm not scared of death. I think I am more scared of the manner of my eventual death. :-? No way would I want to be immortal. To see family and friends and pets die before you all the time, to see fighting and conflict and history repeating itself, to be constantly despairing of the human race and its stupidity... no thanks. I'd rather have a time machine. :wink:
