Canis lupus dingo
These pups were 3 months old at the time, both were bred from pure Dingoes to help maintain the declining numbers of pure Australian Dingoes. (that have not been mixed with domesticated dogs.)

wow thanks Karen, just saw how many likes this has got on facebook! amazing :)
Fun fact! Dingoes are the most dexterous of the canids, possessing unique wrists that are capable of rotation. This enables dingoes to use their paws like human hands and even turn doorknobs to break into homes in search of food.
Dingoes are numerous, but because they can and do mate with feral domestic dogs, it is estimated that more than a third of Australia's dingoes are hybrids.
