this classification by wozencraft is debated among zoologists. mathew crowther, stephen jackson, and colin groves disagree with wozencraft and argue that based on iczn opinion 2027, a domestic animal cannot be a subspecies. crowther, juliet clutton-brock and others argue that because the dingo differs from wolves by behavior, morphology, and because the dingo and dog do not fall genetically within the extant wolf clade, that the dingo should be considered the distinct taxon "canis dingo" meyer 1793. janice koler-matznick and others believe that the new guinea singing dog "canis hallstromi" troughton 1957 should not be classified under "canis lupus dingo" on the grounds that it has behavioral, morphological and molecular characteristics that are distinct from the wolf. jackson and groves regard the dog "canis familiaris" as a taxonomic synonym for the wolf "canis lupus" with them both equally ranked at the species level. they also disagree with crowther, based on the overlap between dogs and dingoes in their morphology, in their ability to easily hybridize with each other, and that they show the signs of domestication by both having a cranium of smaller capacity than their progenitor, the wolf. given that "canis familiaris" linnaeus 1758 has date priority over "canis dingo" meyer 1793, they regard the dingo as a junior taxonomic synonym for the dog "canis familiaris" (i.e. being the equivalent with "familiaris" named first). further, the dingo is regarded as a feral dog because it descended from domesticated ancestors. gheorghe benga and others support the dingo as a subspecies of the dog "canis familiaris dingo" meyer 1793 with the domestic dog being the subspecies "canis familiaris familiaris".
