Indeed. And I thought that one species couldn’t cross-breed with another, yet the article says most “dingos” are now cross-bred with feral dogs!
My Australian Blue Heeler Cattle dog is descended from Dingos and Border Collies. Then in the 1930s some vet in Australia set about breeding his Heeler stock back to Dingos, didn’t turn out well, but it sort of proves that Dingos are wild dogs.
