The Victorian-based dingo breeder and international dog judge is waging a publicity battle to convince Australians that the dingo is worth saving - a fight that's been going on, in one way or another, ever since sheep arrived with the First Fleet and the dingo became an outlaw.

First the bad-man boast, then the sinner's remorse...
