How to Breed a Pet Dingo

Instructions

Learn About Dingoes

Step 1:
Know that the export of dingoes from Australia is illegal.
Step 2:
Check with local authorities in Australia to determine whether or not dingoes are illegal in your particular state. A permit may be needed.
Step 3:
Look for wild dingoes anywhere in Australia. They can adapt to desert and more temperate environments, and sometimes pups are found separated from their mother. Pups whose mother has been killed are often adopted.

Create the Ideal Dingo Environment

Step 1:
Know that dingoes need to be raised in responsible environments. They need a constant human contact as puppies to maintain trust and respect.
Step 2:
Fence your backyard to protect your dingo. Dingoes need a great deal of space—as much as possible—and also require a fence that is at least three meters high and buried at least one meter deep.
Step 3:
Know that dingoes can do things that other dogs can't, such as climb ladders and jump high fences.

Breed Your Pet Dingoes

Step 1:
Set aside a special cash fund just for dingo breeding. There could be unexpected veterinarian feeds that range from a sick puppy to post-labor care for the female dingo, or dam.
Step 2:
Bring your pet dingo to the veterinarian for a temperament, health, and genetic testing appointment.
Step 3:
Know that dingoes begin breeding when they are one or two years old. They only breed once a year.
Step 4:
Know that your dam is in heat by checking the vulva. A dam that's ready to breed has a vulva that tips forward. She will also have a distinct, strong smell and may exhibit sexual behavior such as mounting other dogs.
Step 5:
Keep the male with the female after bleeding begins. He will know when the female dingo is most fertile.
Step 6:
Expect the gestation period to last two months.
Step 7:
Move your dingo to a special whelping box before labor, which should be large enough to be comfortable and hold soft bedding and blankets. Look for a whelping box designed for a German shepherd.
Step 8:
Expect both parents to take care of their young. The litter will average from four or five pups.
Step 9:
Rear your dingo pups to be socialized. Make it a rule to provide daily human contact.
