Why does Laurie think these dingoes are German Shepard dingo crosses especially when quoted a weight within the range of a dingo. A learned researcher in the field of dingo eradication, L. Corbett in his research has given a range of dingoes in Victoria a weight of 15.5 plus/minus 2 kg. While I concede these results may differ slightly to the Myall coast, a dingo’s weight/size depends on available resources in its territory. A German Shepard’s weight is between 30 to 45 kg (German Shepard Dog club of Victoria) that is a big difference in size and weight. One thing most people fail to see is that a dingo is not just a species but it is also an ecological process being the top order predator. Its role is to keep under control other species in the environment. To some this is quite disturbing to see predators kill a prey species but this is how the environment works. Is hybridisation between sub species all that bad, or is this the only path that a dingo can take to keep evolving, now that we mere humans have interrupted their evolution. If it looks like a dingo, walks like a dingo and fills the ecological niche of a dingo we must therefore call it a dingo and protect it.

Any pure dingo with so much as a single a black hair will be described at a "german shepherd cross" in this senseless persecution now in its 200th year. The weights of these animals fall within the pure dingo range. Hybrids would be much heavier. Strange that the person doing the describing has a huge conflict of interest, being paid to take out the one animal which can hope to maintain any biodiversity in our wild environments. "collateral damage?" if it happens to be pure. However does he tell the difference?
