Queensland pups



In July this year Richard drove up to Queensland to collect a wildborn litter of dingo pups.  They were found at about three and a half weeks of age - in a hollow log, which had been disturbed whilst a fence was being constructed.  Three of the pups were quite dark in colour, the fourth was ginger.
The fencing contractor took them home to Toowoomba, but couldn't keep them, so we found out about them through a Queensland contact.
The pups are now approximately 6 months old.  the three darker ones are now a sable colour, whilst Lance, the ginger one, and the biggest has now developed some colouration over his forehead.   the other pups' names are:-
Cadel, Contador, and Twoey, who was named after one of our original Pilbara dingoes who had recently died.
We have taken swabs for DNA and are awaiting results.
