Description |
|
The Dingo has intense eyes that vary in color from yellow to orange. The
very mobile, small, rounded ears are naturally erect. The well furred,
appearing bushy, tail is relaxed and has good length. The hindquarters are
lean and muscular. The coat is soft. It's length, density, and texture vary
according to climate. Typical coat colors are yellow-ginger, but can occur
in tan, black or white, including an occasional brindle; albinos have also
been seen. All purebred Dingos have white hair on their feet and tail tip.
Unlike most other breeds, Dingos do not have due claws. |

Although I am not absolutely sure of her origin, I can only
speculate as to what kind of "mutt" she really is. Her eyes are brown and
she has a brindle coat of hair. The tail is that of a common terrier and
does have a due claw. The ears are almost a giveaway (originally I thought
that she might be part German Shepherd, and still do to an extent). But upon
looking at her abdomen section and comparing it to the Dingo, I would have
to conclude with the latter findings. SLICK is very playful with people and
trainable. She learns fairly quickly of what is right and wrong. (It's just
that she chooses to do wrong.) |
