I am no ways an expert on the animals but have been nipped on the back of the legs (several times) at nighttime in the desert (Central Aust) by a Dingo. Have come across them on occasions, even here on the coast where they seem to have grown in stature. (Mixed) On Fraser island where this latest nip took place, those types are, by all accounts, full blood dingoes and about the size of a medium dog.

Not many folks know it, but we also have wild dogs (not feral dogs, but actual wild dogs) here in the southeastern US. They are called "Carolina Dogs" and are also known as "Yalla Dawgs", "Yellow Dogs", "American Dingoes" and "Dixie Dingoes". Some have been domesticated as pets, but there are still wild populations around. They are the only dogs Indians domesticated before Europeans arrived here, and were. long ago, known as "Indian Dogs". They do look a lot like dingoes to me, and I've often wondered if the wandered here with the original Indians when they came from wherever they came from. As far as I know, their DNA has never been tested against Australian dingoes, but that might be an interesting study for someone to undertake.
