ZO24008An assessment of dingo ancestry in camp dogs in Western Australia

T. L. Kreplins 0000-0002-6439-7858, D. Stephens, N. Laing and C. Oskam

Camp dogs in grassland near eucalyptus trees in Western Australia.

Hybridisation of dingoes occurs as domestic dogs and dingoes are the same species, Canis familiaris. An assessment of camp dogs or dogs that reside in rural and remote communities found very little dingo ancestry. Based on these samples camp dogs are not of high concern when it comes to conserving dingo purity in Western Australia. Image by Dr Nicole Laing.
