Wolf Hybrid

For any canine, especially one with wolf heritage, a raw meat/bones/organ diet is ideal. You must take the time to learn how to feed this way, but since these are carnivores, it's the best diet you can feed. If he is having problems holding weight, adding cuts that are more fatty will help too. I would also have him checked for internal parasites (worms) and maybe bloodwork if that comes back negative. If you are feeding a dry dog food, especially a lower quality one, that also will make it hard for him to maintain his weight.

What most folks would say is to add the reported percentages of both parents (say 50% and 75%) and then divide by 2. That would be 125 divided by 2 which equals 62.5%. However, in my 30 years involved in wolfdogs, I found that most of the reported percentages are drastically exaggerated and most so-called wolfdogs have far less real wolf in them than claimed. That is especially true for the ones people claim are great pets (especially house pets or with small animals and childrend, as real wolves are none of that!) You can read more on this great website www.wolfdogproject.com to learn about how to evaluate wolfdogs, as well as training, behavior, containment and so much more.

They are pack mentality so, so long as you introduce everyone showly or, if they all already know one another, make sure that the puppy knows that all the children are above her in the pack, with regard to the smaller animals, the cat is usually faster than the dog. :o) The other dogs I would not leave them unattended until you are able to properly socialize her with them. Like the other posts read, it is all about consistency. I think she will be fine with them, so long as she is taught that from birth.

A wolf/hybrid is a big purchase to buy as a gift, that is like buying someone else a child. I would make sure he has all the information he needs to take care of the baby. Most sellers of hybrids would not sell someone a hybrid if they are told it is a gift to someone, they want to make sure you know how to care for them. These are not animals that can walk around not being trained properly. Good Luck!

Wolves have a double coat like many dogs, such as German Shepherds and the northern breed dogs like malamutes and Siberian huskies. If your dad is allergic to dogs, he will be allergic to a wolf dog or wolf too. Many people are allergic to the saliva as much as the dander (skin flakes) or coat, so any dog may cause a reaction.

The best website I have found for all kinds of wolfdog information is www.wolfdogproject.com I don't know if it has any info specific to a Doberman/wolf cross, as it isn't a typical type of breeding. Most wolfdog breeders use malamutes, the husky breeds and German Shepherd dogs as they resemble wolves more than other breeds, and some breeds have temperaments that would not be a good idea to crossbreed with wolves.

Wolf dogs should not share food, because of the pack mentality you will have one that eats first and the other gets the left overs so you may have one malnourished animal. Please feed them each separate. About the toys, they are just territorial, our two each have their own balls and they have toys in the yard that they play with together but the dominant one really is the owner of the toys. You will have to work with them on sharing though, that is what we did, they share fine when we play with them and are in the yard together. but it is good for them each to have some of their own things.

That is a very common trait. Pure wolves, and many breeds of dogs can be very competitive over food, toys and other resources. It takes a knowledgable owner to be able to raise a wolfdog to interact somewhat safely with other dogs and people. I would suggest you read the pages on training and behavior on this site: www.wolfdogproject.com This behavior will only get worse as your wolfdog matures, and you must learn how to work with your dog as soon as possible.

It's impossible to tell because you don't have the dog you think you do. Red wolves are on the endangered species list and cannot be owned by private citizens. Wolfdogs also don't get to 180lbs unless they are fat or not mostly anothe breed of dog. Especially considering that the dog in question was supposed to be mostly Red Wolf (one of the smallest wolves). Please visit http://texx-wolf-tails.webs.com/misrepresentation.htm for education and information.

They are not very close, no more so than other dog breed. The Chinook is a sled dog breed, not wolfdog. Wolfdogs would not make very good sled dogs as they have not been selectively bred for the very traits that make good working dogs. I speak from experience, having worked hands on with pure wolves for over 20 years, as well as living with purebred sled dogs of several breeds during the same time. I ran a dog team made up of those dogs that I raised and trained. Though sled dog breeds resemble wolves in some physical ways, they are still not THAT close in lineage, and their behavior is that of a domestic dog. They are primitive dogs, but domestic nonetheless.

You do not have a 1/2 wolf dog. Wolves ONLY give birth in February to April period of the year, no exceptions. Please visit this website for misrepresentation information (http://texx-wolf-tails.webs.com/misrepresentation.htm) and this section for info on WD puppies (http://virginiawolves.zoomshare.com/3.html)

His birthdate is August 4 2011. He's now 4ft 3 in from tip of nose to tip of tail and weighs in at 50 pounds. His coat is still white but starting to turn reddish brown like his mother. His favorite pass time is digging up mole hills and leaving the carcass on my porch. Same for crickets and huge spiders. YUCK!

I have a 7 month old pyr/wolf mix. she takes after her mother who is great pyrenees but looks like her father. the pyrenees are known for loving cats but not so much other dogs. when we got her she was the size of a small cyote but her sister looked 100% pyr. not only was the looks of both girls totally diffrent but their temperments were far from the same. our girl is sweet and layed back where her sister is well a bitch lol. i have read up some what on wolf hybrids and it said that the wolf traits will show up when they get on up in age 5ish. good luck they are beautiful animals :)

Interesting. He's huge and looks more like a wolf every day, size and behavior wise. The mother sure would fool you. She looks and acts much like my father's hybrid did. It doesnt' matter though, we love him dearly and that's what matter right? Thanks so much for your response.

First of all, if this is a current age for your puppy, the mother can't be anywhere near pure wolf. Pure wolf females ONLY have puppies in the spring, usually April and sometimes May. There are no exceptions to that, it is just part of their biology. Odds are, if the puppy is that age now (Oct 2011), the mother is far less than half wolf. Mid content wolfdogs usually have pups in winter. Females having pups in mid to late summer are more dog than anything, so the puppy would take more after the traits of the father's breed, and whatever the mother really is. A puppy that is really half wolf will not make a good pet in the sense most people expect, and will be dangerous to the cat. With yours being more dog than anything, it could make a great pet depending on the temperament he inherits, and how you raise him.

Wolfs/hybrids are no pets. People please just let them be harmony in nature! Let them be wolves!

That all depends on where you live. Some states, cities and counties have banned ownership, others have no regulations, and some just require a dog license. It would be good to look up the local and state laws for where you live.

native american indian dogs are hypo allergenic, depending on where you look and live some are very wolf looking

I do not know about other dogs that look like the hybrid, but my Wolf Hybrids shed like crazy and they are brushed regularly to get their extra fur off.

Wolfdogs will shed as much as any double coated breed and are just as likely to cause a reaction in people with allergies. Also, many are not "good or easy" pets like many dogs breeds are. I always recommend anyone considering adding a wolfdog to their family do thorough research. If they have a lot of wolf in their ancestry they are going to exhibit strong behaviors that may be hard for the average person to deal with, including strong and easily triggered prey drive (to other animals and sometimes children), shyness, escape artist tendencies and they can be very destructive. Read the articles on this page for a lot more info: www.wolfdogproject.com

Getting any canine neutered that young will change his growth. He will probably get longer and leaner - almost looking like a cartoon shape. Males who are not neutered before they are done growing tend to look more balanced and "normal." There are various opinions as to how it will change his temperament. Most people say it will make him easier to handle, since he won't have the seasonal hormonal surge of a pure wolf, or the ongoing hormonal surge of an intact adult male dog. Others say dogs that are neutered are more aggressive and reactive. I think over all, getting them neutered at closer to a year of age is ideal. Pure wolves CAN be quite intense during their breeding season (winter.)

Yes they are, but they still have the animal instinct. When we go camping our Wolf Hybrid babies run all over the hiking trails without leashes and come back to us, it is like they are checking out the area in front for us to make sure it is safe. And the hybrids have learned more commands than any pet my husband or I has had before in our lives. But they do have that instinct, so I would not let just anyone touch them.

Wolfdogs are trainable, but not as reliable as most breeds of dogs even with more training. The more wolf in the animal, the less reliable. A pure wolf or higher content wolfdog won't be safe to walk off leash. They just don't relate to people the same way dogs do, especially once they are mature. They can learn almost anything but don't have that "desire to please" that we've bred into most dogs. If you want an animal you can take everywhere and have off leash, consider a good quality German Shepherd Dog. Even a northern breed dog such as a Siberian Husky or Alaskan Malamute isn't good off leash, and a wolfdog that is part or mostly one of these breeds will not be either. In many ways it's almost unfair to get such an animal and expect that kind of behavior out of it, as it is not going to be able to live up to your expectations. I suggest you read this site - www.wolfdogproject.com for more info.

That can vary widely depending on the breed of dog(s), the bloodlines and individual genetic temperament, as well as the upbringing. Overall wolfdogs may have a much higher prey drive than most dogs. Wolves are very predatory and many of the breeds of dogs used in creating wolfdogs are as well. No matter how you raise such an animal it can be hard to totally erase that instinctive prey drive, so wolfdogs are often very deadly for small animals, livestock and such. Sometimes that prey drive is also directed at small children who may move or make noises similar to that of prey. Wolfdogs are not always aggressive in the way a trained guard dog may be. They are usually more shy of strangers and strange things, so they make bad guard dogs. If they are well socialized to adult humans they may attempt to include familiar humans in their rank order, and that is another form of social aggression or dominance. As always, I direct you to www.wolfdogproject.com

There is at least one county in that area of Indiana that has banned wolfdog ownership. You definitely want to check with local authorities to find out before getting the animal. If you have a dominant female dog, be very careful adding a puppy that she may harm. I'd definitely not get another female but even a male puppy could be at risk. She could even kill a puppy, given the size difference.

Any wolf hybrid is very dangerous and is not recommended for novice or intermediate dog handlers they are very dominant and clever and are very difficult to own always be sure to do your research

Oh heavens no they don't! Most wolfdogs, especially those that are wolf/malmaute or wolf/Siberian husky will have extremely high prey drive. Even those that are part herding dog like German Shepherd dogs may have very high prey drive, making them one of the worst choices for being around small pets or livestock. If you are ever in doubt read some of the real wolf websites such as www.wolfdogproject.com or www.wolfpark.org. I would NEVER recommend a wolfdog as a good choice for any livestock. A lot of people that think they are "easy" or "good pets with kids" have mutt dogs with no real wolf in them. I've worked with pure wolves and high content wolfdogs for over 25 years, and while they are amazing animals, they are not "good pets."

Of course they do. They are great with people and good with other dogs. Wolf Hybrids are not as powerful as a rottweiler or a mastiff but have a great sense. It's hard to have him at home because of hair falling and needs a lot of grooming.

Pure wolves, and all breeds of dogs, as well as wolfdog mixes can see certain colors. It doesn't have to do with whether they are part wolf or not. A poodle sees the same colors as a wolf.

Wolf hybrids are the most loyal companions you could ever have. However they have there natural instincts. You must know what you are getting into and above all respect the bred. There are some that would use a rolled up news paper to punish a dog. You can never do this with a wolf. They are not like a reg dog. They are the only bread that see in color and they never forget. They remember better then any elephant. If you can respect the breed they are the only animals you will ever wont. You can learn so much from a wolf.

have you ever seen Balto?

I had a 3/4 wolf 1/4 german shepherd growing up and he was a beautiful, wonderful dog. He would always bark when someone knocked at the door, but if they came in he was usually very timid. When he was about a year old and I was 9 I reached for his bone and he growled at me. He got beat by my parents and NEVER did it again. We were inseperable and asside from that one little incident was very loyal and loving. I would definatley get another one and wouldn't be afraid to have him around my kids as long as I raised him from a pup.

Yes, wolfdogs have been around for decades as far as a "recent" fad, and longer than that. They are more properly called wolfdogs not wolf hybrids as wolves and dogs are the same species. Even the so-called designer dogs are not hybrids but crossbred dogs. A real hybrid is something produced when two distinct species are crossed. Wolfdogs that have more wolf than dog don't make good pets, usually having enough "wild" traits that they must be kept by knowledgable owners. Many, make that MOST wolfdogs are misprepresented though, so you get people who think they have a high wolf content wolfdog when it's actually more dog. Those are the ones that make good pets. The www.wolfdogproject.com site is a great resource for information.

The best wolfdog site I know is http://www.wolfdogproject.com It has great information on all topics, from identification, to training, diet, containment, behavior and so much more.I highly recommend it to anyone who has a wolfdog or is considering getting one.

First of all, based on when the puppy was born, it can't be more than about half wolf. Pure wolves are higher content wolfdogs are born in spring, and pure wolves are breeding now. The mid content range animals are the ones who have puppies in fall or winter months. So that helps you know your puppy isn't going to be a very high content animal. If they parents are very friendly and social, odds are they are more dog than wolf. Even if hand raised from 10 days of age, most pure wolves and higher content wolfdogs tend to be leery of strangers. They aren't protective like watchdog types but tend to shy away from people they don't know well. If your puppy was not hand raised from a very early age (10-14 days) and is friendly, it is probably going to have more doggy traits. Even so they will need secure containment and proper training and socializing. Feeding a top quality, meat based food and even raw meat/bones/organs is ideal.

I can say one thing Wolf Hybrids dogs will be so loyal and very protective. I own two one boy and one girl. the girl is 50% wolf the male is 95% wolf. I can also tell you if you get one of these dogs our kids will never be late to get home and sneak in or sneak out. I hope this helps. No matter what people say about dogs and/ or wolves being aggressive, they are not it just depends on how well you treat, train, and show them your are the alpha. They will know then that they are a part of your pack not the other way around and he or she will protect you till the end.

Wolf hybrids are known to be aggressive towards children.My wolf hybrid has been around children since she was born...shes 2 now....& shes already bitten 2 kids!Shes very sweet with adults once she gets to smell them but i will NEVER trust her around children, if their a foot above the dogs eye level or under i wouldnt risk it.With my experience i dont feel they can be trusted in that department!

While I trust mine 100%, still I would NEVER leave him unsupervised with children under 12. Not that he would normally harm them but, that the child may inadvertently frighten or hurt the animal and, being a wolfdog, he will react possibly violently in his own defense. Until the child knows how not to trigger the fight or flight response, I'd supervise them together.

I have raised several 90+% wolfdogs frm age 4 wks. My animals go outside to sun but are happy inside animals. They love everyone and are only protective of their humans--not good watchdogs. They helped raise my grandson a very spirited, active child and never showed any aggression only adoration/ protection. They are the smartest, most loving, faithful animals I have ever owned. They do not like being alone, so if you're gone a lot get another breed. They must be constantly groomed--they shed like crazy. They need very high protein content food which means approximately $100 a month or more to feed them when they are grown and mine weigh 130+pounds, so they take up a lot of room in a house. The truth is if you have the personality/ability to raise this type of animal and it has been bred well (beware a lot inept breeders--talk to people who've bought pups) the animal will adjust to your lifestyle, if not, you and the animal will be miserable.

We've have had wolf hydbrid's with children for 30+ years and have NEVER had an issue. Just make sure you raise them up as a pup!

Wolf Hybrids are very loyal to a family if they are raised as part of the family (like from a puppy). They consider the family their "pack" and are very protective of the members and the most loving we had with our children.

It will partly depend on how much wolf is in the animal, and what kind and the bloodlines of the dog. Not all Wolf Hybrids dogs are good with kids. A pure wolf or wolfdog with a high wolf content will NOT be good or safe with kids. They can actually be deadly. I have lived with and worked with pure wolves and wolfdogs for over 20 years and spent those years doing education and research, so know first hand. Another factor would be the age of the kids as well as your knowledge of canine behavior. If you are not VERY knowledgable with difficult dogs, and your kids are young, don't even think about it. If your kids are older teens and you have successfully trained dogs like huskies, you may do okay with a mid or lower content wolfdog. I never recommend a higher content wolfdog for a new owner, it just is NOT going to work. If you can volunteer at a wolfdog sanctuary, you will have better insight into whether you want to own one yourself.

Craigslist or websites. You will want to get a Wolf Hybrid from someone that wants to meet you though, you will want to go see where they were raised from a newborn, if it don't look good, don't do it.

That depends on where you live and if you want to go get the animal or pay transportation costs. Buying one is buyer beware. Some are advertised as high content and are, in reality low/no wolf. If you are going to get one, and you want the wolf more than the dog, you will want to see the parents and want at most a third generation. Educate yourself as to wolf traits and behavior, chose a pup/cub with the most of these. Also be sure you are prepared to train and care for the animal as well as contain it. A normal dog fence will not do. Wolfdogs will dig and can climb well.

As long as it doesnt have more wolf than domestic in its blood & if its introduced to them as a puppy you shouldnt have a problem.My wolf hybrid is 1/2 wolf & shes always been great with cats & small dogs.

I think so, we had a ferret show up on our door step and our Wolf Hybrid 45/55 was playing with him and laying with it after a while, we only had it temporarily, but it is about socializing properly, we had to supervise 100% of the time at first and first had the ferret in the cage with Max laying near it, be consistent, that is key

I do have a cat with a wolfdog. Early socialization is the key, and supervising puppy play with the cat. As pups they can get rough and, even at 9 weeks are capable of pinning the cat so that it cannot escape them. Also feed the cat and the wolfdog at the same time but separately with the cat food where the wolfdog cannot reach it or see the cat eating.

I would really not recommend it. Even if the animal is more dog than wolf, many of the breeds they cross with wolf are also pretty predatory to small animals, and no wolf will be safe with small pets once it's mature. It doesn't matter how you raise it, it's just the nature of the wolf to hunt and chase thing that move or stimulate their prey drive. It is important to remember that calling something a wolfdog does not really paint an accurate image though, since some may be nearly all wolf, some nearly all dog, and some in between. Also, the vast majority of so-called wolfdogs are misrepresented as far as HOW much wolf is in the animal. The more wolf, the more difficult the animal will be to keep as a pet. So when people are asking questions about them, it may be good to be more specific in what wolf content range you are considering.

I wouldnt recommend it, but socializing it early may do the trick. I have 2 cats at home and I would never take a wolfdog into my home unless it was an only pet

Call the DNR to see if they are legal. Some states consider wolfdogs domestic dogs so ownership is regulated by pet law. As for how many you can keep, it may be regulated by law, but since they can be large, very active canines, part of that is how many can YOU handle, both in physical care, housing, and diet? Pure wolves or high content wolfdogs don't do well on dry food, but a raw meat/bone/organ diet. They need very secure fencing and plenty of things to do, and don't do well in the house either. As for price, you often get what you pay for and cheaper dogs of any kind may not be very well bred. It costs a LOT of money to properly care for wolfdogs so those who breed good ones charge more money to reflect that care. Low priced ones may have all kinds of problems, from health or temperament problems or may just be mixbreed dogs of unknown origin. I would do your homework before buying a puppy. There are plenty of good sites out there with very detailed info.

That really depends on the wolfdog. If it's a lower content with no recent wolf ancestry, it could. Higher content wolfdogs will behave more like wolves and would definitely not be suggested as family pet for any age children. I lived and worked with pure wolves for over 20 years, as well as working with, studying and doing education on all subjects relating to wolfdogs. So I can say all this first hand. They are amazing animals but for the most part, are not really good "pets" by normal definition. The only exception would be the very doggy ones and then you may as well just get a purebred Siberian husky or Alaskan Malamute. If you do get a wolfdog with much of the wolf-like traits, it will not be a good house dog and will need secure containment. Since they may target those they feel are weak or "different", a person of any age with a handicap may be at risk.

they range from $1500-$2500

MINE IS NOW 22 MONTHS OLD . SHE BARELY LISTENS,, NEVER PLAYS WITH DOG TOYS OR CHEW BONES. HER HOBBY IS EATING THE WOOD TRIM OFF MY WALLS, LOVES TO GO TO DOG PARK AND PLAY,, I LOVE HER LIKE CRAZY , SHE IS GREAT WITH MY KIDS..I WOULDNT GIVE HER UP FOR ANYTHING.

wolves are known to kill coyotes and have a strong prey drive so it depends on how much wolf is in it, id say for a poodle and 10 yr. old 50 to 60 percent wolf

I just noticed someone said wolves won't eat the meat of another carnivore unless starving. That is actually untrue and has been documented both in wild wolves and captive packs. And they may kill and eat pets (dogs and cats) or wild canids like foxes and coyotes. Often coyotes are killed as rivals (such as in Yellowstone) but not always eaten. There is so much myth being spread about the wolf and it can lead to problems. They also don't mate for life any more than people do. That has also been documented in wild and captive packs. If you go to the Wolf Park website you can find links to all sorts of factual information on wolves in captivity and the wild. www.wolfpark.org

Before anyone gets a wolfdog, it is a VERY good idea to spend a lot of time with them. See if you can find a rescue or educational facility in your area, that allows people to volunteer. You will get a lot more insight into living with such an animal as well as how to go about meeting it's needs. They are definitely not for everyone, especially the ones who have much wolf in them. The more wolf, the more like a wild animal they will behave and the harder it will be for the average pet owner to meet the animal's needs. Higher content animals need very secure containment and will not be happy or safe as house pets. They may or may not be good with other dogs, depending on many factors. Once they mature they can be very intense animals in all ways, so it is critical an owner has plenty of experience and knowledge. Please, do the animals a favor and do a LOT of research before getting one.

Actually, it depends on how well you teach and raise your wolf hybrid. Of course it'll still be powerful, but if you teach the wolf hybrid at an early enough age and make sure you give it a lot of attention, the animal will be your best friend! Just make sure you have everything it needs and do prepare for its arrival if you're seriously considering aquiring a wolf hybrid.

Look...if you have to ask....this probably isn't the dog for you. Why do you want to get a wolf-hybrid, anyway? Is it the "cool" factor? This is a powerful animal, and arguably not entirely domesticated. You have a small dog and a child and you're asking if it's a good idea? Get a dog with a record for being good with other dogs and children. There are plenty.

You have to get a pup (cub). You need to understand a wolf, they are a family animal, they mate for life, and in the wild stay with their pack (family). When they grow up in your family they are part of your family not just a pet, they would protect their family to their last breath, and pine away if they lost them. FYI a real wolf will not eat the meat of another meat eating animal unless they are starving. We just lost ours (95%) after 16 wonderfull years, she is and will always be missed.

Domestication is the process of selective breeding in which the animal is changed genetically from it's ancestors. You can't domesticate an animal in it's lifetime. You can tame a wild animal but that simply means you can approach and touch it, not that it is safe or trained. A wolfdog is a cross between the dog (a domesticated canine) and a wolf (a wild canine) so is somewhere in the middle. What specific traits the animal inherits will depend on a number of factors, such as how much wolf it is, what kind of dog and also what bloodlines. I have worked with pure wolves and wolfdogs for 25 years and this is my area of expertise. I would suggest reading various websites, such as that of Wolf Park in Battle Ground, IN. There will be links to many good sites on wolfdog information. Overall if the animal has a lot of wolf in it, it will not make a good house or family pet, no matter how you raise it.

Since wolf hybrids do have part "non-wolf" in them, they are partially domesticated, but you still need to teach them how you want them to act (like normals dogs). Though, unlike most dogs nowadays, they do need more land to roam on and other necessities like that.

If you have the time to give to a Wolf Hybrid, they can be an excellent companion but remember they need their space too. You have to have a big, big yard, we have 4 dog houses in the yard one with A/C and heat, they have several water buckets because they love washing their feet many toys, sticks, banana leaves, and they are like children in that at Christmas they play with the box instead of the toy, they are happier with sticks and pinecones than toys, again, you have to have the time and space, otherwise it is not fair to them. A dog park once a day is not enough, or a walk twice a day, these guys can run, i mean run for a long time fast too, it takes them a while to get tired. So, I went on enough, I hope I was not too late to help someone

Wolf Hybrids require consistency, and now they only come inside once or twice a week, sometimes for a hour sometimes for several hours, but when they come inside they lay down on their blankets and stay there. We even did time out once with the puppies and it was amazing, she just sat facing the corner and never bit through her leash again.

We have 2 Wolf Hybrids, one is 60% the other about 35-45%. They listen, they know more commands than any regular dog my husband or I have had our entire lives. We have found the key is getting them as a puppy, they have to come from a home where they were held from the minute they were born, they were socialized with other dogs as well as people constantly since the time they were born. They can not have been left outside with the dogs to sleep from the moment they were born and never have been in the house. When they have that from the onset we have had the most success and the best babies ever! .

Wolfdogs are not at all like the herding type dogs. I have spent decades with both kinds of canines so speak from experience. Depending on what cross it is (what kind of dog, how much wolf) it may be a very shy or independent animal, not at all reliable off leash and not nearly as trainable as most dogs. Once pure wolves are mature they are pretty independent even with owners they have known since puppyhood. They are not remotely considered good "pets" but if an owner has the facilities, resources and knowledge, it could work out. More often than not people get in over their heads and aren't able to meet the needs of a wolfdog. Check out some of the rescue sites to see what I mean.

On the rabies vaccine for Wolf Hybrid's, the deal is, it isnt that they don't need it, it's that there isn't enough documentation on the animals about to warrent it. It's all about nobody has done it. Of course they need the regular vaccinations, why wouldn't they? They dont have any different resistance to disease than any other dog, cat or rodent running around. Besides the protection of having the rabies vac isn't just for their benefit it's for yours too. What if they bite somebody? whats the first question you will be asked by authorities? Did the animal have it shots!

Wolf-Dogs only usually bond with one alpha female human and/or one alpha male human. Once they do you belong to them not the other way around. You might get them to be social with other humans but only to an extent. To me they seem to have alot of the same characteristics of a cat. Meaning they are very independent and they will do want you want them to, only when they want to. I can be petting them one minute and the next minute they will walk away and totally ignore me calling them. I know because I have been working with three pups since they were about 12 weeks old. They are also highly intelligent. They are not a normal domesticated dog breed, they take commitment, and an extreme amount of time. You really have to be sure your willing to give this to them. I think their worth it and I dont think I've ever seen an animal that is considered a pet to be so smart.

It can be, but since it's a wolf-hybrid it would propbably be happier with another dog.

The Wolf Hybrid dog requires much exercise and attention and can become quite terrritorial. Needs to be socialized at an early age. Will run and breed with coyotes if given the chance. Like to kill small animals, like cats. Many vets will not treat them, even if you obtain a state permit. Rumor has it the rabies vaccinations are not effective. Still interested?

My Wolf Hybrid dog is great with people and children that he knows and the cats in the house. He is protective over his food and toys to them. He's a great companion to me, very loyal.
