Shortly after being born near Gympie, Dakar’s original owner died and Dakar was placed into the local RSPCA pound.

At 3 months of age and unsold he was transferred to the RSPCA Noosa for a last chance of sale. Luckily he was found and adopted the next day by Mark & Linda.

With an obvious dingo bloodline combined with a lack of early socialisation Dakar was initially assessed as probably not able to reach Advanced Level.

2 years later after numerous large gaps in training (owner’s travel commitments) Dakar actually graduated from Advanced.

2023 UPDATE:

In 2015, aged 5 years, Dakar joined the ‘digital nomad’ lifestyle and started exploring the world with his owners. He has now been to 22 countries across 3 continents and is still going strong.

His original training remains strong. Even at 13 years his road sense is particularly comforting for travelling in new countries. It’s a huge relief to Mark & Linda to be able to travel easily with Dakar.
