Hey, I'm from Papua New Guinea and I agree with ya I think that their instinct in the wild now. But I had a pet dog that I think was part that cos she could howl like she was singing. None of the other dogs on my street could do that.Hehe
this guy doesnt know shit about it...its a normal dog like any other if u raise it in a house...my dog doesnt eat kibbles, it eats chunks of chicken and meat with bones..that doesnt make my dog wild its just their natural food and it doesnt attack any small animals because it is raised with cats..slapp in the head 4 dis guy and all the other "expertes"
i disagree.. stop breeding them... they went extinct in the wild not because of human interaction but because they failed to evolve. we have enough domesticated dogs that are homeless
Hey Jeff the zoo guy, I heard that most of the Singing dogs in the United States are descended from pair brought from Papa New Guinea. Is this true? Are we taking the last truly wild dog and inbreeding the vitality out of it, like we did with every other breed?
i live in florida and i hope to see one but what a cool looking breed of dogs i hope they can start to breed more of them cause i really love there dogs there cool hopfully in a few years they wont be as rare and more demestic to humans cause i would really love to get one as a pet if i have enuf room
If they are so rare why are they spaying and neutering 54 of them in Willow Hill PA this week?
WILLOW HILL, Pa. — Spaying and neutering began Tuesday for 54 New Guinea Singing Dogs not yet placed in new homes after state officials cited their owner for having more dogs than allowed without a kennel license.
Its actualy pronounced (papua- new guinea) actually, my mom comes from the solomon islands ( a chain of islands near papua new guinea) and if what she says is correct, theres singing dogs that live in villages there, they dont have owners or masters, they do whatever they want until there called by the men to hunt for wild pig. Of course that was 20-30 years ago, but i'm sure there still there even though things have modernized a tiny bit. Very beutiful species, your videos rock!
haHA! I knew you were at the Lowry Park Zoo! Just knew it! :] Especially when you said you were in Florida.
Singers FTW! We've got 6 of these awesome dogs. I've probably met that one that you're holding there... But I haven't been to the Lowry Park Zoo since I was like 13.
Hey Jeffthezooguy, its NOT papa new guinea, its P-A-P-U-A New Guinea and you said you think there's only 200 of them in the world?.NO!!! there's tons of them roaming around in papua new guinea..And one unique thing about them is...if u attack their owner in front of them, they will definitely attack you before you can do anything to their
owner...these dogs also involves in ethnic fights along with their owner...so they are not ordinary dogs like yours in US....
they've got fighting skills, singing skills....you name it!!...they usually sing everynite in the begining or the end of a month...If you're in PNG you will witness them..if a group of them started singing at their backyard..their neighbours will pick it from their and the choir will pass around from neighbourhood to neighborhood and can continue on thru the entire city.
eyy, id love onea em, to bad theres barely any left, they need teh like breed em or something, get em alil further from extinction, then maybe they could like make em a breed for pets
But it is.. as he said it's one of the rarest dogs in the world.. and not a particularly domestic typethough docile.. the singing dog is considered to be a different species than 'cannis lupus' (dogs) or even 'lupus' (wolves), not a different race of dog. It has evolved astray from the canaedes for the last 6000 years. And there not many ones left since they are so difficult to procriate! It dosen't look that special donsn't it.. but it is! ; )
It's a subspecies of wolf. It's scientific name is either Canis lupus dingo or Canis lupus hallstromi.
BTW, you can buy these New Guinea dogs as pets. It's not really recommended, though, because they are at a different level of domestication than domestic dogs. All of the hunting dogs kept by the natives of New Guinea derive from this dog (at least partially).
No. They are pariah dogs, like the Basenji, and they may be similar to the Australian dingo, but in the US, you can buy one just like you can buy a Basenji.
It's an unusual dog.
However, it may be a unique subspecies of C. lupus, but that's not been born out with the genetic analysis.
Technically, dingoes are also considered dogs in the US, so you can buy them if you can find them.
I would actually very much agree with what you said. I think it should be legal for people to own them (although I think they should be held in very tight breed clubs, like the way the Germans kept their Weimaraners, so that only educated and responsible people can have them).
Charles Darwin wrote about this. He claimed that these dogs from the South Pacific and Asia had not lost their wildness, and that European domestic dogs had lost them, because "love of man." I won't go that far.
No, actually, biologists consider dingos and NG Singing dogs to be feral; because they were origionally domestic when they were brought over to Aus & NG by humans.
Even if that was thousands of years ago, they are still classified as feral, because they are not native to Aus & NG, & were brought over as pets/working animals.
Like the camels in Aus that were brought over in the 1800s to use for traveling in the Outback; & then turned loose after the Industrial Revolution.
Sorry lad, check out Laurie Corbitt work. The dingo was a domestic animal in Australia until European occupation and the aboriginal people were murdered or rounded up and put on reservations and the dingo was left behind....then they became feral. The word feral does not refer to their non native status...which is also debated in scientific circles....how long before an animal is considered native. Dingo has been here 4000 years camel 200. Hardly a comparison my friend.
Not sure who else might speak your abstract language but to date, Jeff's video is by far the best one made describing the NGSD. I would argue that there are many more then he estimated but that'a about it.
I know - it's chaotic. The sense (substance) is that he(that) lost subject - singing Dog. It is stuff about a primitive, empty, self-fascinated psychopath.
I'm not really sure what you are trying to say, but just know, all I wanted to do is talk to people about a rare, New Guinea Singing Dog. Sorry you thought my motive was different. Thanks for watching though.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
That guy is so talkative... Narcissus grumble who has monopoly on the truth and only subject of the news (piggish N.G .singing dog is a F.... ballast but
production-design of that news) 1. idiot 2. imbecile 3. fool
The Dhole is a true wild dog, whereas the Dingo is the result of a feral domesticated dog. That aside, the Dhole is smaller and more agile at 25-45 pounds. Dingos range from 50-70 pounds. Dholes are also more social and cooperate more. Dingos spend a lot of time alone and meet up every several days. As for appearance, Dholes look much more fox like with a pointy snout and smaller stature. Dholes are also much more rare. Hope this helps.
Besides some differences in appearence, the main difference is the fact that singing dogs have an uvula, (the thing that hangs down in the back of your throat). They are the only dogs that have that. This is what allows them to "sing". They also have a much more flexible spine than other dogs, aiding them in climbing trees to chase prey. Thanks for watching!
Haha, when I started watching the video I was thinking "Wow, what a cute, sweet dog! Maybe I can get one for a pet?" And then he said there's only 200. :( So I have no chance to play with one.

Thanks for all the info, Retrieverman.
Pariah dogs may be classifed as "dogs" but they're still feral.
Which I believe, means that they have lost the ability to controll their predatory instincts the way normal dogs do.
Do you think that it should be legal for an individual to own them?
Wouldn't that be like owning a wolf?
SinnFein4ever 2 years ago
I would actually very much agree with what you said. I think it should be legal for people to own them (although I think they should be held in very tight breed clubs, like the way the Germans kept their Weimaraners, so that only educated and responsible people can have them).
