Thank you for visiting.
Together with our sister sites we are the largest animal, hunting and archery information sites on the Internet. We are also the most popular after Cabela's. Finally, we get more page views because there is so much more to see.
We started in 1998 as an all-volunteer public service to hunting. However, when our financial backers died or moved to Florida we had to take in advertising to pay expenses. No one has ever taken a penny in salary.
All our information and pictures are free. You may not see a lot of pretty pictures (except in our animal picture section) but our sites will load quickly and not waste your valuable time. We think this is a plus. Please scroll down to learn more.

Dingo Dogs

dingo[ding´gO] Pronunciation Key, wild dog of Australia, believed to have been introduced thousands of years ago by the aboriginal settlers of that continent. The only large carnivorous mammal found in Australia by the first European colonists, it stands about 24 in. (61 cm) high at the shoulder and has large, erect ears, a wolflike head, and rather long legs. It is usually yellowish red in color, with white markings on the underside, feet, and tip of tail. The dingo mates once a year and has a litter of up to eight pups. In the wild state it howls rather than barks, is nocturnal in its hunting habits, and usually travels in small groups. Although most often its quarry is small animals, the dingo's predation on livestock has caused serious economic loss in some areas of the continent. It has often been kept as a pet by the natives and used by them in hunting. The dingo is classified in the phylum Chordata, subphylum Vertebrata, class Mammalia, order Carnivora, family Canidae, genus Canis, species dingo.
