The NG Dingo IS the same as the dingo found in Australia. They are also found throughout Asia and as far west to India. Another name used for these dogs is the Asian Wolf. ALL Dingoes howl. They look, sound and behave as an Australian Dingo. I also think that the American Dingo/Carolina Dog is a magnificent example of the same dog. (Where I live in Australia it is perfectly legal to kill a dingo on sight, which breaks my heart)
This is a New Guinea Singing Dog. Different from a Dingo- Dingos are Australian anyways.
"The singing dog is a closely related animal to the Dingo"
-This is the oldest dog species on earth, as well as the rarest to this day, thought to be taken back to the Stone Age and the Egyptians- In other words, they're every breed's close relative.
Dingoes are the wild dogs in Australia that were used to breed dogs like the Australian Cattle Dog & Australian Kelpie
I have a strange felling these aren't dingoes. Dingoes are actually pretty quiet dogs. That's why they were breed to make the Australian cattle dog. I think those are New Guinea Singing dogs. They look alot like Dingoes though.
They are bit smaller than dingoes. Some taxonomists consider them to be Canis lupus hallstromi, others as Canis lupus dingo. They are closely related but have a somewhat different ecological niche.
It would be Canis lupus hallstromi. All dingoes, dogs, and singing dogs have been moved to the species lupus. Dogs are Canis lupus familiaris. I think it's rather silly not to have the singing dog as its own subspecies, so I classified as halstromi rather than dingo.
The ngsd's taxonomic status was changed from hallstromi to dingo years ago. The DNA of the two is prety much identical. They only differ in size. The vocalizations are also the same. If this video was produced in the US they are likely Singers as Dingos have not been here in many years. Even the zoo's have them misclassified in some cases.
They differ in their immune system. I believe I read something about this. And they use the coyote's threat gape, which dingoes do not. So I disagree with the decision not to have them as a separate subspecies of wolf.
Shouldn't Singing dogs be Canis lupus hallstromi and dingoes Canis lupus dingo? I think so.
However, some taxonomists classify them both as Canis lupus dingo, but the singing dog is a bit different in terms of its howl and the way it utilizes protein. Most domestic dogs in New Guinea are derived from Singing dogs that were domesticated or from singing dogs crossed with European and Asian breeds. The dingo is a full wild animal.
I agree with that, they might be closer related but they nonetheless differ significantly from dingoes. I've seen colli-mixes who looked more like dingo then the hallstromdogs
Having owned an Akita AND a Dingo/Labrador cross, nothing quite measures up to a dog that has a wild heart and loves to sing.

@nickixl3 These are just howling dingoes singing in different pitches (which they do everytime they howl).
These are not Singing Dogs.

New Guinea Singing Dogs may be related to dingoes, but they are not dingoes.
