I worked at the Nashville zoo and we were trying to get some singing dogs.A K-9 biologist from NC who also keeps the Carolina Dog had the last pure female she was very old. He says that the SDs were cought and bred with the native dogs that look and act alot like them and have dingo DNA like the carolina dogs do.The dogs he kept except the old female were not pure strains.The way to tell is that pure singing dogs are shy have no white on them and always circle before they come to their keepers.

ginko27,

The biologist you refer to is Dr I Lehr Brisbin, Dr Brisbin along with Mr Don Ehrlich helped to preserve the ISIS listed NGSD's in North America. Don Ehrlich and I have formed an organization for the preservation of the NGSD. The link to our site is in my profile. Please take some time to read and re-educate yourself about them. All NGSD came from only a few founders with the exception being a 1993 import that is not yet part of the history.

These singing dogs are close but not pure breeds. The last 100% Singing dog died about 10yrs ago in a private colection. The ones you see now were bred with domestic dogs by the natives to sell to zoo as pure. However a few nearly pure specimens remain and they are being bred for zoos and NOT the pet trade. So, what you have is a strain that is nearly wild and a strain that is domesticated. The best way to tell what your getting is that true singing dogs have NO white on them and fake ones do.

ginko27,

Not sure where you obtained your info from but you are incorrect. There has only been one NGSD that was actually imported from New Guinea in the early 90's. All others were captured in the wild by either Australian explorers or German explorers and came here via zoos. DNA tests can definately seperate a domestic breed from a Dingo which the NGSD basically is. The Dingo DNA is quite different then any domestic dog and all NGSD's that have been tested have tested pure.

I have 2 singing dogs.Kai and Rea.

[tomcue2]

Its a small world when it comes to the NGSD. I know of your father and his efforts to preserve the breed and also the story of Roux your first Singer.

I'd love to have a hundred to get revenge on my neighbors for playing their thumpity-bumpity music when I'm trying to sleep.

[Jifcrunch79]

[Kole208]

look im just curoise how much would it be if i happend to stuble upon one to get one of these and i already know its gana be alot sence there the rarest and oldest dog breeds out there

[TheMsstorms]

@KellehChu ok um these dogs ONLY have one lets repeat that ONE breeding season one and most are spayed/neutered they ARE the rarest trust me

[KellehChu]

People. They aren't that rare. They are just as rare as a Xolo, or a Canaan dog... So they're a bit more rare than Dingos, but it doesn't mean there's like, a thousand left. They breed like rabbits...

The Glen of Imaal Terrier is the rarest dog in the world.

[Carycomic]

It's said that the only fully domestic dog, with an almost-identical sound, is the basenji.

[TheyCallMeKillz]

actually the singer is supposed to be older than the dingo

[TheyCallMeKillz]

they are the rarest dog in the world they have about 1/6 of all of the dogs in the world i think there are about 200 in captivity and they think extinct in the wild

[mikkykay]

They might even be the rarest dog in the WORLD :o

[KenMacMillan]

I'd hit it.

[iPrettyG1rl]
