      The Dingo - A Complete Anthology of the Dog - - Read Books Ltd.

      THE DINGO,

      Or native dog of Australia, is so wolf-like in its appearance, that Bewick describes it as the New South Wales wolf. The general colour of the upper part of the dog is pale brown, growing lighter towards the under parts; the hind part of the forelegs and the fore part of the hinder ones are white, as are the feet; the tail is of moderate length, somewhat bushy, but in a less degree than that of the fox.

      The Dingo is found in every part of the continent of Australia, and does not greatly vary anywhere. He is sometimes found wild, and is sometimes domesticated by the Australian savages. There is now little difference of opinion among naturalists in this country as to the Dingo being indigenous in Australia, and not imported into that continent by early discoverers.

      The Dingo.

      As in the case of the Kangaroo Dog, so with the Dingo, we have fallen back upon notes supplied us by gentlemen who have studied the variety. We will commence by giving a description of the Dingo from the pen of Mr. Hugh E. C. Beaver—an Irish Water Spaniel breeder, whose late dog, Captain, is the subject of our coloured plate—who gives us the Dingo from an Australian point of view.

      "The Dingo, or as he is most usually called by colonists, ‘the native dog,’ is common to all parts of Australia alike, showing no difference in colour, formation, or habits, but varying very much in size. In colour he is a red-brown on back and sides, getting darker towards the ridge of the back, in some cases showing almost a distinct dark line all down the back and tail. Head rather lofty, very wide between the ears, which are always pricked; nose rather pointed, very powerful jaws, and far larger teeth than a dog of similar size would be expected to have. His tail is almost exactly like a fox’s brush, having the same white tip, and is carried in the same way—never carried over
