First I want to say there is a lot of BS in this thread (and literally all over the internet) when it comes to wolf dogs. First off, wolves, especially wolf dogs, can most certainly be domesticated. Every single solitary animal kept as a pet in existence originated from the wild and was domesticated. So the drivel constantly spilled about “wild animals can’t be domesticated”, is just that, drivel. Secondly, I HIGHLY doubt most of the poop talkers here ever had any real experience with wolf dogs. Any current “domestic dog”, if it spent its life in the wilderness would be just as wild as a wolf that spent its life in the wilderness.
Now, why am I saying this? From as early in life as I can remember (which to date is when I was 4) until I was about 10, I had a dog that was half timber wolf and half doberman. Her mother was a timber wolf (and was not a “pet”, but was acclimated to the humans she lived near and was not aggressive towards them) and the father was their doberman. She was amazingly beautiful and basically looked like a black wolf. Anyway, the FEW things correct in this thread: she didn’t really care about “pleasing us” (though we never really wanted to make her that way anyway), she never really let strangers be her friend (though she never attacked any that didn’t deserve it except one – but I’ve never seen a stranger actually petting her), she never ran to great us in the normal, retarded dog way, and she did like to wonder a lot, especially in the woods. She would disappear for long periods of time before coming home. We had 35 acres of land and a 5 acre pond. We also had several other dogs and a metric butt ton of cats that all free roamed. This dog was sweet, loyal, highly intelligent (as expected), and extremely protective. Dogs and wolves alike are pack animals. You and your family are your dog’s “pack”. Especially so if you have a wolf or wolf hybrid. They will protect that pack at any cost. While the may be hard to train (can’t speak on that because we didn’t “train” her, we just loved her from a puppy and took care of her), the are certainly amazing dogs. You won’t find a dog that is more loyal, protective, and intelligent. I’m so sick of hearing people say BS about wolf dogs being wild animals that will most likely turn on you, can’t be domesticated, will NEVER be a “pet”, etc. It’s all a bunch of caca. Own one from a baby pup, love it, care for it, show it affection, and there isn’t a better dog around… Period.

And, this BS kind of thinking is probably why she died. My dad said he believed “she had a heart attack”, but after everything I’ve read recently on the internet (including this thread), 78 wouldn’t be surprised if some clueless twit killed her because she looked too much like a wolf. Please stop spreading lies and perpetuating fear of the wolf dog! Your going to get someone’s very beloved pet killed!!

Pit bulls are FAR more likely to hurt someone…
