Your information on the dingo is very interesting.PiotrJohn wrote:
I understood that the American breeds show backcrossing to both wolf
and coyote, but show the nearest connection is to the Husky, which
makes sense.
The Dingo, has on the basis of genetic work done by the Australian
Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO),
which has the best gene sequencing labs in Australia, is genetically
indistinguishable from the pariah dog found from India to South East
Asia. It was descended from the Arabian Type II mentioned by Joao.
