Most Australian 'wild dogs' are predominantly dingoes
A new genetic test has revealed that most of the free-roaming canines in Australia, often labeled "wild dogs," carry a significant amount of dingo ancestry. A team of Adelaide University researchers from the Australian Center for Ancient DNA and the Environment Institute analyzed more than 300 free-roaming canines across Australia, and found that, on average, just 11.7% of their DNA comes from domestic dogs.
