Origin: not documented in our sources

Also known as: Interbreeding of dingoes with other domestic dogs, dingo-dog hybrid, dingo–domestic dog hybrid

A Dingo–dog hybrid is a cross between a dingo and a domestic dog. The current population of free ranging domestic dogs in Australia is probably higher than in the past. However, the proportion of the so-called "pure" dingoes has been on the decrease over the last few decades due to hybridisation and is regarded as further decreasing.
