So
you want a wolf dog? Interested in wolves? Have you ever been around a wolf
before? Most people never have and their only experience with wolves comes
from television and movies. Did you know that most animals used in TV and
movies to portray wolves are not wolves at all?
Most are a breed called the Alaskan
Malamute, the Siberian Husky is another breed used. Sometimes a Samoyed
cross or white German Shepherd is used to portray a white wolf. Alaskan
Malamutes have more of the wolf coloring/markings than your average breed
of dog.A wolf dog is not a breed. He is actually a mix of dog and wolf. Wolf crosses are mainly done with malamutes, husky's, German Shepherd dogs Akita or all of these. There is no breed standard with a wolf dog. So, a wolf-dog crossed with a German Shepherd dog will have much different temperament than one crossed with an Akita. It is up to YOU to research the breeds involved. Wolves and wolf-dogs in general are highly intelligent, opportunistic animals so they are not for everyone. Low content wolf-dogs(this means they probably have less than 50% wolf) can be very friendly and good with children when supervised. They normally can be kept inside the house but it is recommended they be crated when alone in the house for their safety. Some of you reading this may have met a well behaved wolf dog and you want one just like it. Do you know all the hours of work that goes into training? Every personality is different so every training method must be different. It takes years of routine and consistency with a well bred animal. A wolf dog is not a pet. A wolf dog is a companion animal which means friend. Tying your wolf dog to a tree or keeping him in a small pen will not make him your friend. To make him your friend you must accept him for what he is and conform to him, it's not the other way around. Woilf-dogs are also not forgiving of abuse, they don't forget it if you are mean to them. The reason this site
is here is because there have been increasing problems with puppy mills
in the wolf dog industry. These people are milling out ill bred animals
solely for profit with no thought to the future of the animal, or the
buyer. These back yard breeders are hurting the wolf and causing BSL (Breed
Specific Legislation). With this site I am hoping to educate you on what
a responsible breeder is so you will make informed choices |
