Yep, only due to enforcement of new Australian regulations will the Dingo be preserved as a separate and pure "subspecies" on one of the Eastern islands of that continent. The remainder of the dingo population even in the most remote areas of the continent is either contaminated with or lives in close proximity to dingo populations contaminated with European dog DNA. BTW, the Dingo arrived in Australia and developed as a wild dog over 6,000 years ago. The Dingo is surprisingly similar in color and body form to the Yellow Carolina Dog, another wild dog species that developed independently of the wolf or coyote and in isolated conditions on the American continent.
