LIVING WITH DINGOES

About the Book

The book covers approximately twenty years of experience, living with dingoes.  The author and her family make several interstate moves, taking with them their dingoes, horses and sheep.  It  tells about many of the habits and behaviour of the dingoes, and of how the family dealt with most of the day to day problems and moments of joy.  The book informs dog lovers of the difficulties and pleasures of everyday living with dingoes, which look like ordinary dogs, but which certainly are not.
