A female Dingo (Canis lupus dingo) probably looking for a hand-out, Kakadu National Park, Northern Territory, Australia. Dingos, which are descended from the Chinese Wolf, are currently thought to have been brought to Australia maybe 10,000 years ago when people moved south through Asia to settle Australia. Now, they are persecuted by graziers, but more critically, are suffering genetic dilution through hybridization with domestic dogs (Canis familiaris) and in-breeding among captive stock. This has resulted in the number of wild Dingoes declining and the species being upgraded to vulnerable on the IUCN red list in 2004. Featured in the group Australian Wildlife on the 21 December, 2008

Border Collies are these fantastic black and white dogs from Scotland which are known for their keen intelligence and their incredible herding instinct. It’s no wonder that a Border Collie has the energy output of a miniature nuclear reactor. Border Collies have been bred to herd sheep and that requires a lot of physical stamina and endurance. Herding sheep is an all-day activity and often entails miles of endless running and sprinting across uneven patches of farmland. / But obviously, not every owner of a Border Collie has the luxury of owning sheep, so another outlet must be found for this energy. Living with a young Border Collie is like living with a highly intelligent toddler. It requires dedicated time and effort to survive the experience! Intelligence in dogs is a double-edged sword. Yes, a Border Collie can learn lots of tricks and can have quite a large vocabulary but he also can learn a lot of bad things. Having such a smart dog means waging a continual intellectual war with your dog, trying to outsmart it as it figures out each progressive intellectual step you take. Trying to confine a Border Collie can be an exercise in futility. Just when you put in a gate, they figure out how to get over (under) it. When you put in a door, they figure out how to push it open. You put in a latch and they figure out how to turn doorknobs. Some Border Collie owners swear that their BC can pick combination locks – though their paws make it hard to turn the dial. If you do not enjoy engaging in intellectual warfare, especially with a non-human, a less “perceptive” and somewhat “denser” breed may be in order. Very few people can provide what the smart, high-voltage Border Collie really needs to be satisfied and well-behaved, but those who can find a most loyal 24/7 buddy. Once a BC owns you you’ve got no chance of escaping and I wouldn’t know why anyone would want to.
