Dog (domestic dog)

The New Guinea singing dog or New Guinea Highland domestic dog ^[i] is an aboriginal (basal)^[a] lineage of canis familiaris^{[three] [four] [5]} found in the New Guinea Highlands on the island of New Guinea. Once considered to be a separate species in its own correct, nether the name Canis hallstromi, information technology is closely related to the Australian dingo. The dog has a reputation for its unique vocalization.

In 1989 the Australian mammalogist Tim Flannery took a photograph of a blackness-and-tan dog in Telefomin District. He wrote that these dogs live with native people in the mountains, and that feral populations lived in the alpine and sub-alpine grasslands of the Star Mountains and the Wharton Range. The photo was published in his volume Mammals of New Guinea.^[six] In 2012 Australian wilderness-adventure guide Tom Hewett took a photo of a tawny, thick-coated canis familiaris in the Puncak Mandala region of West Papua, Indonesia.^[7] In 2016 a literature review found no definitive prove that the founding members of captive populations of New Guinea singing dogs were wild-living animals; they were raised as members of village populations of domestic dogs.^[8]

Taxonomy [edit]

In 1999, a study of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) indicated that the domestic dog may have originated from multiple grey wolf populations, with the dingo and New Guinea singing dog "breeds" having developed at a time when human populations were more than isolated from each other.^[9] In the 3rd edition of Mammal Species of the World published in 2005, the mammalogist W. Christopher Wozencraft listed under the wolf Canis lupus its wild subspecies, and proposed two additional subspecies: "familiaris Linnaeus, 1758 [canis familiaris]" and "dingo Meyer, 1793 [domestic domestic dog]". Wozencraft included hallstromi – the New Republic of guinea singing dog – every bit a taxonomic synonym for the dingo. Wozencraft referred to the mtDNA study as one of the guides in forming his conclusion.^[10] The inclusion of familiaris and dingo under a "domestic dog" clade has been noted by other mammalogists.^[eleven] This classification past Wozencraft is debated among zoologists.^[12]

The New Republic of guinea singing canis familiaris's taxonomic status is debated, with proposals that include treating it within the species concept (range of variation) of the domestic domestic dog Canis familiaris,^{[13] [fourteen] [11] [6]} a distinct species Canis hallstromi,^{[1] [15]} and Canis lupus dingo when considered a subspecies of the wolf.^[10] In 2019, a workshop hosted by the IUCN/SSC Canid Specialist Grouping considered the New Republic of guinea singing dog and the dingo to be feral dogs Canis familiaris, and therefore should not be assessed for the IUCN Carmine Listing.^[13]

Taxonomic history [edit]

During the Torres expedition to the south declension of New Republic of guinea and the Torres Strait in 1606, small dogs were recorded past Helm Don Diego de Prado y Tovar:

We found pocket-sized dumb dogs that neither bark nor howl, and do non weep out fifty-fifty if beaten with sticks^[16]

On 26 Oct 1897, the Lieutenant-Governor of British New Guinea, Sir William MacGregor, was on Mount Scratchley, Key Province, Papua New Guinea. At an elevation of vii,000 ft (2,100 g) he recorded that "animals are rare," but listed "wild dog." MacGregor obtained the start specimen and later Charles Walter De Vis wrote a description of information technology in 1911.^{[17] [1]} De Vis summarised from his description that:

... it is not a "truly a wild dog"; in other words that there was a time when its forebears were not wild. ...But if nosotros decide that this dog is but feral, of a domestic brood run wild, as dogs are apt to do, how are we to account for its habitat on Mount Scratchley?^[17]

In 1954, collectors for the Australian Museum observed these dogs around villages situated at eight,000 ft (2,400 m) on Mountain Giluwe in the Southern Highlands Province.^[i] In 1956, Albert Speer and J. P. Sinclair obtained a pair of singing dogs in the Lavani Valley that was situated in Southern Highlands Province.^[18] The 2 dogs had been obtained from natives.^[ane] The dogs were sent to Sir Edward Hallstrom who had prepare up a native animal study eye in Nondugi, and from there to the Taronga Zoo in Sydney, Australia.^[18] In 1957, Ellis Troughton examined the ii singing dog specimens from the Taronga Zoo and classified them as a distinct species Canis hallstromi in award of Hallstrom.^[nineteen]

Original description [edit]

Troughton described the type specimen as follows:

Specimens. — Male holotype, female person allotype, in possession of Sir Edward Hallstrom at Taronga Zoological Park, Sydney, for eventual lodgment in the collection of the Australian Museum.

General characters:
Muzzle or rostral region brusque and narrow in contrast with the remarkable facial or bi-zygomatic width, imparting the strikingly vulpine or play a trick on-similar appearance. This comparing is sustained in the narrow body and very short bushy tail which measures little more than than i tertiary of the combined head-and-body length, with the width of the brush a fraction under 4 in (10 cm). The fleshy, softly furred, triangulate ears remain erect, though rounded and curved forward in conch-like fashion.

Colour (Ridgway^[b]) of the head a clear tawny brown; the back a darker russet-brown owing to the admixture of blackish-dark-brown hairs, the darker hairs enclosing a yellowish "saddlemark" somewhat more conspicuous in the female. Outer shoulders and hips clear ochraceous-tawny; tail about tawny-olive brindled above with blackish-brown, tip white; iv paws whitish. Underparts a light buffy, a dark mark across the jaw separating the light chin-spot from the pale undersurface.

Dimensions of Holotype:
Head and torso approximately 650 mm (26 in); tail exactly 245 mm (9.vi in), less brush; heel to longest toe, less boom, 145 mm (5.7 in); dew-claw from base to basis, 25 mm (0.98 in); ear, length from outer base to tip 75 mm (3.0 in), midwidth twoscore mm (one.6 in); longest vibrissa 52 mm (2.0 in); length of head to extremity of sagittal crest 180 mm (7.one in) (approx.) and bi-zygomatic width 100 mm (3.9 in); rear molar to incisor 90 mm (iii.5 in); width across incisors 23 mm (0.91 in); top of upper canine xvi mm (0.63 in).^[19]

Lineage [edit]

The Sahul Shelf and the Sunda Shelf during the past 12,000 years. Tasmania separated from the mainland 12,000 YBP,^[20] New Guinea separated from the mainland 6,500–8,500 YBP.^{[21] [22]}

By the close of the last glacial period xi,700 years ago, v bequeathed lineages had diversified from each other and were expressed in ancient domestic dog samples found in the Levant (7,000 YBP), Karelia (x,900 YBP), Lake Baikal (vii,000 YBP), aboriginal America (iv,000 YBP), and in the New Republic of guinea singing dog (present day).^[5]

Mitochondrial genome sequences indicates that the dingo falls within the domestic dog clade,^[23] and that the New Guinea singing domestic dog is genetically closer to those dingoes that live in southeastern Australia than to those that live in the northwest.^[21] The dingo and New Guinea singing dog lineage tin can be traced back through the Malay Archipelago to Asia.^[24]

In 2016, a literature review found that:

there is no convincing evidence that New Guinea wild-living dogs and some, or all, pre-colonization New Guinea hamlet dogs were singled-out forms. Further, there is no definitive evidence that either high distance wild-living dogs were formerly isolated from other New Republic of guinea canids or that the animals that were the founding members of captive populations of New Guinea Singing Dogs were wild-living animals or the progeny of wild-living animals rather than being built-in and raised as members of village populations of domestic dogs. We conclude that:

(one) at the fourth dimension of European colonization, wild dogs and most, if not all, hamlet dogs of New Guinea comprised a single though heterogeneous gene pool

(ii) eventual resolution of the phylogenetic relationships of New Guinea wild dogs volition apply equally to all or most of the primeval New Guinea village-based, domesticated, dogs; and

(3) in that location remain places in New Guinea, such as Suabi and neighbouring communities, where the local hamlet-based population of domestic dogs continues to exist dominated past individuals whose genetic inheritance can be traced to pre-colonization canid forebears.^[8]

In 2020, the first whole genome analysis of the dingo and the New Guinea singing dog was undertaken. The written report indicates that the ancestors of these 2 dogs arose in southern East asia, migrated through Island Southeast Asia nine,900 YBP, and reached Commonwealth of australia 8,300 YBP. The study rejects earlier suggestions that these dogs arrived from southern Asia four,300 YBP or as function of the Austronesian expansion into Island Southeast Asia, which arrived in New Guinea nearly 3,600 YBP. The genetic testify is that dingoes arrived in Commonwealth of australia eight,300 YBP and brought by an unknown man population.^[25]

New Guinea Highland wild domestic dog [edit]

In 2017 the New Guinea Highland Wild Dog Foundation announced to the media that in 2016 it and the Academy of Papua had located and photographed a group of xv of what information technology referred to every bit "highland wild dogs."^[26] Deoxyribonucleic acid analysis of scats point that these dogs have a genetic human relationship with other dogs constitute in Oceania, including the dingo and the New Guinea singing dog.^[27]

In 2020, a nuclear genome study indicates that the highland wild dogs from the base of operations of Puncak Jaya, within the Tembagapura district in the Mimika Regency of Papua, Indonesia, were the population from which captive New Guinea singing dogs were derived. The study revealed that the wild dogs show much more genetic diversity than the captive animals, which are severely inbred. This indicates the wild population is good for you. The size and distribution of the wild population is non known. Mitochondrial Deoxyribonucleic acid indicates that the highland wild dogs possess the A29 haplotype, rather than the A79 haplotype which is found in the New Guinea singing canis familiaris. The A29 haplotype is found in dingoes, some New Republic of guinea singing dogs, and some Asian, Arctic, and hamlet dogs. A phylogenetic tree shows the highland wild dogs to be basal to the dingo and New Guinea singing dog, and therefore the potential originator of both.^[28]

These dogs live wildly in a harsh and remote surround betwixt iii,900–four,170 metres (12,800–thirteen,680 ft) in peak, which suggests they are a lineage of proto-dog that is related to the dingo and are not feral hamlet dogs. This has led to some researchers to suggest that the taxon Canis dingo is appropriate for the only truly wild-living domestic dog populations – the dingo, the New Guinea Highland wild dog, and the New Republic of guinea singing domestic dog.^[3]

Clarification [edit]

Australian mammalogist Tim Flannery in his volume the Mammals of New Republic of guinea describes the "New Guinea Wild Dog" every bit looking similar to the dingo, only smaller. Most of these dogs in New Guinea are domesticated with large numbers existence kept by widows and bachelors, with hunters keeping at least ii for assisting them with hunting. These dogs practise not bark, and their chorused howling makes a haunting and extraordinary sound, which has led to their alternative name of "New Guinea Singing Canis familiaris." Flannery published in his book a photo of a black-and-tan dog in the Telefomin District. He wrote that these dogs live with native people in the mountains, and that there were feral populations living in the alpine and sub-alpine grasslands of the Star Mountains and the Wharton Range.^{[half dozen]}

Compared with other forms of domestic dog, the New Guinea singing dog is described equally relatively short-legged and wide-headed. These dogs take an average shoulder height of 31–46 cm (12–18 in) and weigh 9–fourteen kg (twenty–31 lb). They do not have rear dewclaws.^[xv]

The limbs and spine of the New Guinea singing dog are very flexible and they can spread their legs sideways to 90°, comparable to the Norwegian Lundehund. They can too rotate their forepart and hind paws more than domestic dogs, which enables them to climb copse with thick bark or branches that tin be reached from the ground; all the same, their climbing skills exercise not attain the aforementioned level as those of the grey fox,^[29] and are closely related to those of a true cat.^[xxx]

The eyes, which are highly reflective, are triangular (or almond-shaped) and are angled upwards from the inner to outer corners with dark eye rims. Eye color ranges from dark amber to night brown. Their eyes exhibit a bright dark-green glow when lights are shone on them in depression light conditions. There are two features which researchers believe permit New Republic of guinea singing dogs to meet more conspicuously in low light.^[29] I is that of their pupils, which open wider and allow in more than light than in other canis familiaris varieties. The other is that they possess a college concentration of cells in the tapetum.

New Guinea singing dogs have erect, pointed, fur-lined ears. Equally with other wild dogs, the ears 'perk,' or lay frontward, which is suspected to exist an important survival feature for the form. The ears tin can be rotated similar a directional receiver to option upward faint sounds. Their tails are bushy, long enough to reach the hock, gratis of kinks, and have a white tip.

Pups are born with a dark chocolate brown pelt with gold flecks and reddish tinges, which changes to low-cal brown by the historic period of 6 weeks. Adult coloration occurs around four months of historic period. For developed dogs, the colors brown, blackness, and tan accept been reported, all with white points. The sides of the neck and zonal stripes behind the scapula are gilded. Black and very dark guard hair is generally lightly allocated over the pilus of the spine, concentrating on the back of the ears and the surface of the tail over the white tip. The muzzle is always blackness on young dogs. Generally, all colors have white markings underneath the mentum, on the paws, breast and tail tip. About one 3rd besides accept white markings on the muzzle, face and neck. By 7 years of age, the black muzzle begins to turn gray.^[15]

Behaviour [edit]

New Guinea singing dog rolling

All sightings in the wild were of single dogs or pairs, therefore it tin be inferred that wild New Guinea singing dogs do not class permanent packs.^[15] Tim Flannery's brusk 1989 report on dogs in the mountains of Papua New Guinea described them every bit "extraordinarily shy" and "almost preternaturally canny."^[31] According to Robert Bino (1996),^[c] these dogs only use their resting places under roots and ledges in New Guinea sporadically. Bino conjectured that these dogs are highly mobile and provender alone and ended that they therefore might apply several hiding places in their dwelling house range.^[32]

During research observations, the examined dogs more often than not showed a lower threshold of behaviour (east.thousand., odor rolling) than other domestic dogs, as well as an earlier developmental onset than other domestic dogs or grayness wolves (e.g., hackle biting at two weeks compared to other domestic dogs/grey wolves at 6 weeks) and a quantitative difference (due east.chiliad., reduced expression of intraspecific affiliate behaviours). The dogs observed did non bear witness the typical canid play bow; yet, Imke Voth found this behaviour during examinations in the 1980s.^[33]

Several behaviours unique to New Guinea singing dogs have been noted:^[15]

Head toss

This behaviour, shown by every observed dog, is a prompt for attention, food or a sign of frustration, expressed in varying degrees depending on the level of arousal. In the complete expression, the head is swept to one side, nose rotated through a 90° arc to midline, and so rapidly returned to the starting position. The entire sequence takes one to 2 seconds. The mildest expression is a slight flick of the head to the side and back. During this behaviour, the characteristic contrasting blackness and white chin markings are displayed.

Copulatory scream

At the copulatory tie, the female emits a repetitive sequence of loud, loftier-pitched yelps lasting about three minutes. This scream has a strong arousal effect on nigh domestic dogs.

Copulatory contractions

About three minutes after the starting time of the tie, females begin a series of rhythmic abdominal contractions. During each contraction, the skin of the flanks and lumbar area is fatigued forward. These contractions are accompanied by groans and occur regularly, several seconds apart (they may pause intermittently), continuing for the length of the tie.

Additionally, New Guinea singing dogs have an unusual form of auto-erotic stimulation, which includes a strong tendency to target the genitals for both playful and aggressive bites, a cheek-rub that may exist a marking behaviour and a molar-gnashing threat.

During estrus, when potential partners are present, same-sexual practice New Guinea singing dogs oft fight to the point of severe injury. Furthermore, adults also display a high caste of aggression towards unfamiliar dogs, which would signal that they are strongly territorial.^[15] Their distinctive assailment could not be observed to that extent among Australian dingoes (who live without man contact).^{[34] [ page needed ]}

Researchers have noted rough play behaviour past the mothers towards their pups, which often switched over to agonistic behaviour besides as "handling." The mothers did not adequately react to the pups' shouts of pain but rather interpreted it as further "invitation" for "playing." The researchers stated that this behaviour was noted in their subjects only and does non necessarily employ to all singing dogs.^{[34] [ page needed ]}

Vocalizations [edit]

New Guinea singing dogs have a distinctive "song"

New Republic of guinea singing dogs are named for their distinctive and melodious howl, which is characterized by a sharp increase in pitch at the get-go and very high frequencies at the end.^[35] The howling of these dogs tin be clearly differentiated from that of Australian dingoes, and differs significantly from that of grey wolves and coyotes.^{[36] [ improve source needed ]}

An individual howl lasts an boilerplate of three seconds, but can last as long every bit five seconds. At the offset, the frequency rises and stabilizes for the rest of the howling, but normally shows abrupt changes in frequency. Modulations can change quickly every 300–500 milliseconds or every second. Five to viii overtones can generally be distinguished in a spectrographic analysis of the howling.^[xv]

New Guinea singing dogs sometimes howl together, which is usually referred to as chorus howling. During chorus howling, one dog starts and others join in shortly afterward. In most cases, chorus howling is well synchronized, and the howls of the group cease nearly simultaneously. Spontaneous howling is most common during the morning time and evening hours.^{[34] [ page needed ]} A trill, with a distinctly "bird-similar" character, is emitted during high arousal. It is a loftier-frequency pulsed betoken whose spectral appearance suggests a continuous source that is periodically interrupted, and might last as long equally 800 milliseconds. Such a sound is not known for any other canid; notwithstanding, a similar sound (with lower frequency) has been described for a dhole at the Moscow Zoo.^[fifteen] When they are kept with dogs that bark, New Guinea singing dogs may mimic the other dogs.^{[34] [ page needed ]}

Reproduction [edit]

New Guinea singing domestic dog puppy

The New Guinea singing domestic dog possesses an annual seasonality, and if not impregnated will have a second estrus within a few weeks afterwards the end of the first. Sometimes they will have a third.^[37] Males in captivity often participate in raising the pups, including the regurgitation of nutrient. Female New Republic of guinea singing dogs are protective of their young and will aggressively assault their male counterpart if they suspect he poses a danger to the pups. During the first breeding season following their nascency, especially if there is a potential mate nowadays, pups are oft aggressively attacked past the same-sex parent.^[xv]

Diet [edit]

Reports from local sources in Papua New Guinea from the 1970s and the mid-1990s indicate that New Republic of guinea singing dogs—like wild dogs found in New Guinea, whether they were pure New Guinea singing dogs or hybrids—fed on small to center-sized marsupials, rodents, birds, and fruits. Robert Bino stated that their prey consisted of cuscuses, wallabies, and perhaps dwarf cassowaries.^{[37] [15]} New Guinea singing dogs in captivity do not require a specialized diet, but they seem to thrive on lean raw meat diets based on poultry, beef, elk, deer, or bison.^[38]

Natives interviewed in the highlands state that these dogs steal the kills of Papuan eagles.^[39]

Status and distribution [edit]

Since 1956, New Guinea singing dogs have been obtained or sighted in the wild chiefly in mountainous terrain around the central segment of the New Guinea Highlands, a major island-all-encompassing eastward–due west running mount range formation, as the 1956 dogs obtained by Speer and Sinclair (come across 'History and classification' section to a higher place) were in what's now typically spelled the Lavani Valley slightly to the E, the Star Mountains slightly to the West of eye sited reports through 1976. Reports of the Kalam people capturing New Republic of guinea singing dogs in the mid-1970s imply the human tribe's range just off center due east on the northeastern mainland coast (encounter 'Relationship with humans' section below). A 2007 sighting in the Kaijende Highlands was east of the middle. The 2012 sighting was most Puncak Mandala slightly to the w, all in the highlands around the range'south spine.

The reported habitat of the New Guinea singing dog consists of mountains and swampy mountain regions of Papua New Guinea at an altitude of 2,500 to four,700 meters. The main vegetation zones are the mixed wood, beech and mossy forest, sub-alpine coniferous forest and tall grassland. Based on archaeological, ethnographic, and circumstantial show, it tin can be assumed that New Guinea singing dogs were once distributed over the whole of New Republic of guinea and later restricted to the upper mountains.^[15] Since there have been no verified sightings of these dogs in Papua New Guinea since the 1970s until an August 2012 photograph in the wild, these dogs are now apparently rare.^{[35] [twoscore]}

There were reports of New Guinea singing dogs in the Star Mountains until 1976, and in the mid-1970s reports of capture and training, just not breeding by the Kalam people (encounter 'Relationship with humans' section below).

In his 1998 volume Throwim Way Leg, Tim Flannery states that the dokfuma (which he describes as sub-alpine grassland with the footing being sodden moss, lichens and herbs growing atop a swamp) at 3,200 meters superlative had enough of New Guinea singing dogs, which could unremarkably be heard at the beginning and end of each twenty-four hours. When alone in his campsite 1 day, a group of canines came within several hundred meters of him. Flannery apparently did non take his camera forth or ready, since he reported no pictures taken.

In 1996 Robert Bino undertook a field study of these dogs, but was not able to detect any wild New Guinea singing dogs and instead used signs, such as scats, paw prints, urine markings and prey remnants, to make conclusions about their behaviour. No Deoxyribonucleic acid sampling was conducted. There take been reports from local residents that wild dogs accept been seen or heard in college reaches of the mountains.^[29]

In a 2007 written report, a more than recent sighting was the fleeting glimpse of a canis familiaris at Lake Tawa in the Kaijende Highlands. Local assistants bodacious the researchers that the dogs at Lake Tawa were wild-living dogs, since in that location were no villages near that location. It needs to be fabricated articulate, all the same, that "wild-living" does not necessarily hateful that canines observed by natives are New Guinea singing dogs. It is possible that they are simply feral domestic dogs or New Guinea singing dog hybrids.^[41]

On 24 August 2012, the second known photo of a New Guinea singing dog in the wild was taken past Tom Hewitt, Manager of Adventure Alternative Borneo, in the Jayawijaya Mountains or Star Mountains of Papua Province, Indonesia, Western New Republic of guinea by a trek party returning from Puncak Mandala, at approximately four,760 yard high the highest top in the Jayawijaya range and second highest freestanding mountain of Oceania, Australasia, New Guinea and Indonesia (though Hewitt himself seems to erroneously say this top is in the Star Mountains, which are side by side to the Jayawijaya range, and also casually calls the region 'Westward Papua' rather than Indonesia's Papua Province in the Western geopolitical 'one-half' of the New Guinea landmasses, while his identification of the height is quite articulate, including its estimated superlative which is distinctive amidst New Republic of guinea's peaks). In a valley flanked by waterfalls on both sides amid approximately 4 km (13,000 ft) high limestone peaks, replete with such flora and fauna as cycads, grasses and blooms of the highlands, cuscuses, possums, tree kangaroos, unidentified ground-nesting birds in swamp grass, and a bird-of-paradise species heard simply non seen, Hewitt relates that his veteran trek guide called out "dog" four times and pointed to fetch Hewitt and his trek customer from their explorations behind large boulders and accept them realize that alee and to a higher place the guide and campsite melt on a rocky outcrop was a dog, in Hewitt'due south words "non scared, simply...genuinely curious...every bit we were of it, and it certainly felt similar a rare meeting for both sides. The guides and cook were besides surprised." While the guide had at start approached "quite close", the domestic dog retreated equally the political party came toward information technology, though it stayed on the hillside while beingness photographed for a mutual observation session of about xv minutes. Hewitt simply became fully aware of the importance of his party'south sighting and photograph of this canis familiaris when he contacted Tom Wendt, New Guinea Singing Dog International (NGSDI)'due south founder upon returning home, then regretting that he did not videorecord the encounter. Hewitt and Wendt observe that West Papuan locals written report that sightings are rare, and that New Guinea singing dogs have non been domesticated past current man inhabitants of their surface area.^{[40] [42]}

In 2016, a literature review found that "there is no definitive evidence that...the founding members of captive populations of New Republic of guinea Singing Dogs were wild-living animals or the progeny of wild-living animals rather than being born and raised as members of village populations of domestic dogs."^[8] In the aforementioned yr, the New Guinea Highland Wild Dog Foundation announced to the media that it and the University of Papua had located and photographed a group of 15 of what information technology referred to as "highland wild dogs".^[26] Deoxyribonucleic acid analysis of scats indicate that these dogs have a genetic relationship with other dogs found in Oceania, including the dingo and the New Republic of guinea singing dog.^[27]

Relationship with humans [edit]

Singing dog being trained for rare breed show competition.

According to reports from the late 1950s and mid-1970s, wild dogs believed to exist New Guinea singing dogs were shy and avoided contact with humans. It was reported in the mid-1970s that the Kalam in the highlands of Papua caught young New Republic of guinea singing dogs and raised them as hunting aids, but did not brood them. Some of these dogs probably stayed with the Kalam and reproduced. The Eipo tribe kept and bred wild dogs as playmates for their children. Although the bulk of the highland tribes never used village dogs as a food source, it is known that even today they try to take hold of, kill and swallow wild dogs. Dog-findings in archaeological sites of New Guinea are rare, generally consisting of teeth (used as ornaments) and trophy-skulls. Since the beginning of the 20th century, the inhabitants of the highlands started to keep chickens, and New Republic of guinea singing dogs had a penchant for poultry. To add together to the trouble, natives kept other domestic dogs. The crossbred dogs were generally larger in size, also as less of a challenge to railroad train, and so they tended to be of more than value than New Guinea singing dogs. One might conclude that the relationship between the contemporary New Guineans and their dogs will give information about how they treated the New Guinea singing dogs, merely modern "village dogs" are not genetically representative of pure New Guinea singing dogs.^{[37] [fifteen] [29]}

Conservation and preservation [edit]

A New Guinea singing canis familiaris at the Conservators Center in North Carolina.

In the past, the New Guinea singing dog was considered "unworthy" of scientific study, as information technology was regarded as an insignificant variety of feral domestic canis familiaris. Nonetheless, due to its potential value equally a resource for the determination of the process of canid development and domestication, particularly in relation to the dingo, also as several of its unique genetic, behavioural, ecological, reproductive and morphological characteristics, limited research has been undertaken.^[xv] The New Guinea Department of Environment and Conservation has announced protection measures.^[35]

Hybridization is one of the most serious threats facing the New Republic of guinea singing dog. New Guinea singing dogs are handicapped, as are many canids such as the Australian dingo, past their susceptibility to being bred by canines other than those of their ain kind. This vulnerability has, and is still, causing a "watering down" of dingo genes needed to maintain purity.^{[ citation needed ]}

There are two organizations formed for conserving and preserving New Guinea singing dogs. They are the New Guinea Singing Dog Conservation Society, founded in 1997,^[43] and New Republic of guinea Singing Canis familiaris International, a preservation, captive breed, adoption and pet education group.^[44] Both of these organizations are based in the U.s..
