An investigation into Brisbane’s suspected pet dingoes has proved owners misclassified their dogs on council documents.

Fairfax Media last month revealed six Australian dingoes were registered as ‘current’ on a publicly available Brisbane City Council data sheet that had last been updated on October 18, 2017.

A council investigation has revealed six suspected dingoes registered as pets are not actually dingoes.

The suspected dingoes were registered to addresses in Murarrie, Bardon, Chelmer, Ashgrove, Tingalpa and Bald Hills.

In Queensland, dingoes are considered restricted invasive animals and cannot legally be kept as a pet.
