The New Guinea Highland Dog or Singing Dog is an ancient (basal) lineage of dog found in the New Guinea Highlands, on the island of New Guinea.
Once considered to be a separate species in its own right, under the name Canis hallstromi, it is closely related to the Australian dingo. The dog is relatively unusual among canines; it is one of the few to be considered “barkless” (hence its common name of “singing dog”), and known for its unusual “yodel”-like style of vocalizing.
The New Guinea Highland Dog skull is wedge-shaped, with a broad top and a narrow muzzle. The skull is in proportion to the rest of the dog’s body. It has a slight median furrow runs from the stop, disappearing towards the occiput. The upper first molar, called a carnassial tooth is quite large.
The head is clean-cut and without excess skin or wrinkles. Their eyes are small, triangular in shape, and feature several shades of brown. Their ears are small, triangular and set wide apart.
The New Guinea Highland Dog is known for their unique vocalizations, especially their howl. They are very athletic and can jump high into the air. They also are excelletn climbers and diggers.
New Guinea singing dogs are a small to medium size dog species. They have a wedge-shaped head and triangular, upright ears. These dogs have a soft, thick coat and a bushy tail. The eyes of the singing dog are reflective and glow bright green in low light conditions.
New Guinea Highland Dog can live up to 15 years in captivity. Their lifespan in the wild is unknown. New Guinea Singing Dogs have relatively short legs and a broad head. They typically, at the shoulder, measure 12-18 inches and can weigh between 20-30 pounds.
Meal leftovers show they prey on small mammals, small reptiles, and birds; they even try to hunt 3.5-foot-tall dwarf cassowaries! New Guinea singing dogs have a strong hunting drive, fearless nature, and they are highly curious.
