Nothing new here. I own two Australian Cattle Dogs, a breed that was derived from combining:
1. Dingoes
2. Dalmations
3. Collies
4. Bull Dogs

Beware of the 150lb super-dingoes
By Nick Squires in Sydney

Hikers in Australia are being warned about a fierce new breed of half-dingo wild dog stalking the country's mountains and forests.
Abandoned or escaped domestic dogs such as rottweilers, bull mastiffs and Rhodesian ridgebacks have interbred with Australia's native dog to produce a new strain of "super-dingoes".
The cross-breeds are bigger and more powerful than ordinary dingoes. One animal recently shot dead by a farmer reportedly weighed 154lb. They are killing livestock and menacing walkers, horse riders and campers along the Great Dividing Range, a chain of mountains, gorges and national parks extending from Queensland through New South Wales to Victoria.
"They are extremely ferocious," Brian Tomalin, of the New South Wales Farmers' Association, said. "There's a real possibility that someone is going to be killed by one of these things, especially if they stumble on a den."
The dogs have killed so many sheep that in some areas farmers have had to switch to cattle.

Especially since the aussies are NOT ALLOWED guns! They can only imagine being eaten by a giant dingo just because their leftist politicians fear the people!

Neat looking dogs.
There's an anti-pc pro-gun rights pulp B movie script in there somewhere, "Attack of the Super Dingoes", "The Dingos ate your Sheila!" as a byline.
I just told my son that the problem could be solved if guns hadn't be banned, and lo and behold...you beat me to it. Anyone have pics of these mutts?
I WANT ONE!
A dingo ate your baby!
