Its name tells you the New Guinea Singing Dog has a distinctive voice. They are vocalising in a manner reminiscent of yodelling, and should additional dogs join them, a chorus of howling could develop. Even rarer than house singing dogs, these incredible wild animals found in the New Guinea Islands are With just a tiny number surviving in the wild, these amazing dogs are regarded as among the rarest dog breeds worldwide. Unlike any other dog breed, their unique vocalisation creates harmonic sounds reminiscent of a whale's song mixed with a wolf's scream. These pups are a live link to ancient canine predecessors since scientists think they have stayed essentially unaltered for thousands of years. Among domestic dogs, their physical traits resemble those of a fox: a wedge-shaped head, upright ears, and a very flexible spine that enables tree climbing. Although some are kept in captivity for conservation, they do not fit as domestic pets since they still have many of their wild impulses.
