NATIONAL Parks are not doing enough to stem the numbers of wild dogs according to Ross McCorquodale, secretary of the Wild Dog Advisory Group.

He said the group was seeking advice on what they could do legally from the Department of Environment and Resource Management (DERM) who look after national parks and wildlife, but felt not enough baiting was being carried out on them.

"It's only a small amount to placate the community," he said.

"It's just lip service."

He said the group wouldn't take action until they heard back from the department but had a motion ready depending on the result.

"At the moment I don't think we can do anything at all," he said.

"The motion is that Southern Downs Regional Council may bring in land owners, employees and designated trappers, have access to Queensland Government controlled land to bait, trap shoot wild dogs, foxes and feral cats.

"It wasn't voted on; the group let it lie on the table until National Parks get back to us."

Mr McCorquodale said the group could make a dramatic impact on wild dog numbers if they had the right to bait them.

"I think it would make quite a big difference. In fact if we don't get it, I would suggest it will negate just about all of the actions which we do ourselves," he said.

"The problem is they are building up in numbers in the national parks and are killing Australian native fauna in the national parks - koalas, goannas, possums.

"They are getting hungry; the numbers are increasing and they are spilling out onto farm land and killing sheep and lambs."

He said one of the main issues was cross breeding between dingos and wild dogs.

"These numbers are increasing because of the dingos crossed with wild dogs," he said.

"Dingos used to have four pups once a year; these crosses are having eight to 10 pups twice a year.

Mr McCorquodale said while sheep were the most likely to be taken out by a wild dog, bigger animals could also fall victim.

"A pack of dogs will kill weaner cattle," he said.

Mr McCorquodale said the wild animals were entering properties during the middle of the night, even digging under rabbit fences to get at the live stock.
