Abstract
Dingoes and other wild dogs cause substantial damage and control expense in many Australian environments. The main methods of control are exclusion fencing, poisoning with compound 1080 (fluoroacetate), and trapping. Strategies to mitigate livestock predation by wild dogs include; enterprise substitution, the reduction of wild dogs populations, and baited buffer zones between wild dog country and sheep country. Damage functions show significant positive relationship between density indices and the losses causes by predation for both sheep and cattle enterprises. However, descriptive and explanatory models fitted data poorly. A strategic approach to the management of wild dogs that aims to reduce predation on livestock while allowing the conservation of wild living dingoes is also outlined.
