The Dingo, Canis familiaris: Breed: dingo is a member of a group of primitive dogs
             characterised by short coats, erect ears, characteristic skull shape and teeth and, most
             importantly an annual breeding cycle. It is a medium built, elegant and active dog of great
             nimbleness and agility with a head and body length of 860 - 980 mm and tail length of 260 - 380
             mm. Adults generally weigh between 10 and 20 kg. The "typical" colour is ginger with white
             feet, chest and tail tip, although animals of other colours including sable, black, and white are
             often found.
             Dingoes are predominantly carnivorous, but will eat a wide variety of foods including plant
             material and insects. Their annual breeding season commonly begins in earnest in autumn
             continuing into winter with litters averaging three to five puppies usually born April - August.
             Australia's largest mammalian predator, Dingoes have been present in Australia for at least 3
             500 years and perhaps as long as 11 000 years. They have an important ecological role, helping suppress populations of feral animals,
             and there is anecdotal evidence they help maintain populations of endangered species by excluding introuced feral predators like cats
             Highly intelligent, strongly individualistic, affectionate, but cautious, Dingoes are
             highly-skilled, natural predators. Senses of sight, scent and hearing are highly developed.
             They are strongly territorial and form lifetime bonds with family, either Dingo or human.
