Dingoes are genetically, behaviorally, and ecologically distinct from domestic dogs, and should be recognised as a separate species or subspecies. Research shows they've been on their own evolutionary path for thousands of years, meeting the four conditions for taxonomic distinctiveness: reproductive isolation, genetic distinctiveness, independent evolutionary path, and distinctiveness from South-East Asian village dogs. The proposed scientific name for Dingoes is either Canis dingo or Canis lup

Dingoes come in a range of colours and ecotypes, adapted to their environments. Some common colours include: 👇 Ginger: The most common colour, ranging from light tan to dark red. Black and Tan: Distinctive black and tan markings. Brindle: Striped or tiger-like pattern. White: can occur in some populations. Sable:A sable Dingo is typically ginger in colour, but with a black stripe running along its spine. ​Historically, some coat variations like sable were thought to indicate crossbreeding with
