Before you decide to have the company of a dingo in your house, you must research what you are getting in for. Below are some testimonials from people who own and live with dingoes as part of their daily lives.

Sadly, many dingoes over years have been purchased only to be dumped in an animal shelter a year later when the owners feel that they have had enough. In these cases, it is not the dingo at fault; it is the person not doing enough research on dingo behaviour and under estimating the demands of keeping a dingo before purchasing one.

The dingo has the spirit of the wild running through its veins and training is difficult; if a dingo doesn't want to do a thing, it's nearly impossible to get the dingo to do it.

If you look at a dingo and see a dog, then you are in for a shock. Because dingoes are very intelligent, they need to be kept stimulated otherwise they will find an activity for themselves. This often has something to do with the garden, eg: digging up plants, chewing the water hose etc.

On the other hand, when you have developed friendship and trust with a dingo, it's the greatest feeling in the world and when a dingo is confident enough to let you interact with it, you know you are accepted as its equal.

Here are some accounts of people's interactions with their dingoes:
