The New Guinea Singing Dog is an ancient breed of dog found on the island of New Guinea, specifically the New Guinea Highlands. It is distinct among other canids due to its unique form of vocalizing- it is one of the few "barkless" dogs (like Dingoes and Basenji dogs). Rather than the barking most dogs are known for, New Guinea Singing Dogs "yodel".

Compared to other species of dog, New Guinea Singing Dogs have shorter legs and broad, blocky heads. They have an average shoulder height of 31–46 cm (12–18 in) and weigh around 9–14 kg (20–31 lb). Interestingly, they lack rear dewclaws. Their coats range from black to brown to tan, with black points around the face, muzzle, and tail tip. The very tip of the tail is white.

Their eyes are triangular, are angled upwards, are highly reflective. The reflectiveness makes them produce a bright green glow when lights are shone on them in low light conditions (e.g. night time). Researchers believe there are two distinct features which case the glow: One is that their pupils open wider and allow in more light than in other dog varieties. The other is that they possess a higher concentration of cells in the tapetum, which sits directly in front of the retina.

Like other wild canids, their diet consists of mainly mall to middle-sized marsupials, rodents, and birds, with the occasional fruit. Specific prey includes cuscuses (possums), wallabies, and, while unconfirmed, possibly Dwarf cassowaries. New Guinea singing dogs in human care do not require specialized diets, but seem to thrive on lean, raw meat diets based on poultry, beef, elk, deer, or bison.

Circa 1989, Australian mammologist Tim Flannery took a photo of a black-and-tan dog while in Papua New Guinea. He noted that not only were there domesticated dogs living with the local tribal peoples, there were also wild, feral populations scattered throughout the grasslands of the Star Mountains and the Wharton Range. The aforementioned photo was published in his book, Mammals of New Guinea.

In 1999, a study of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) showed that domestic dogs may have originated from multiple grey wolf populations, whereas the dingo and New Guinea singing dogs descended from a time when human populations were more isolated. In 2005, mammologist W. Christopher Wozencraft proposed two additional subspecies in his book, the third edition of Mammal Species of the World. These newly proposed subspecies being "familiaris Linnaeus, 1758 [domestic dog]" and "dingo Meyer, 1793 [domestic dog]". However these classifications are debated by zoologists today.

  • They are incredibly flexible animals, especially in the spine and legs; they can spread their legs sideways to 90°.
