As both dogs and dingoes are only wolves in neater clothes and all can interbreed and produce viable offspring, perhaps, I'll retract my suggestion and return to Canis lupus.

Thanks Don, I was working on a reply quoting your recent article in the NPA Bulletin Vol 62, No 4 December 2025. Canis dingo is a more apt description based on recent DNA data. Also early European descriptions of southeast Australian dingoes included the descriptions black, white, tan and brindle.

And other modern ones say Canis dingo. The DNA says closer to Asian Wolf than to domestic dog.

Older sources say the dingo is Canis lupus dingo, however, more modern sources list the dingo as Canis familiaris dingo, indicating a closer relationship to the domestic dog than the wolf. Those are gorgeously healthy dingoes.

SOOO @Lisa.Jok what you are really saying, is that you want to claim a record for a new species, the Clancy Stager, (maybe Homo dolus) but you want me or someone else to risk embarrassment by putting it out there?
