dog question - the dingo

[iceberg]

when visiting my family over the holidays, i saw my niece has a new dog. the 3 they already had i suppose were not enough. but the dog itself seemed very cool. good temperment, easy to "calm down" and seemed great around lots of people and kids.

but in researching the breed, i've found "carolina dogs" to be close and pure dingos supposedly not really meant for domestication. i think my nieces dog was 1/2 dingo. but they do seem hard to find.

anyone know much about the breed?

Dingo ate my baby

refers to the Azaria Chamberlain disappearance. The incident occurred in Australia in 1980 - a baby disappeared under mysterious circumstances near Uluru (Ayers Rock). The mother, Lindy Chamberlain, camping with her family, claimed to have seen a dingo carrying her baby from their tent, and immortalised the phrase, "The dingo's got my baby!". She was convicted of murdering her baby but later acquitted when new evidence suggested that the baby was, in fact, killed by a dingo.

Edit wow didn't know about case re-opened

yea, i've read some things like that so i think the carolina dog is like an "american dingo" - just trying to get more input on it. they get only to like 50lbs from what i've read.
