Wolfdogs! Why are they better than domestic dogs?

Many animal lovers dream of keeping a wolfdog. But how well are these hybrids adapted to living with humans? The first cross-breeding of a dog and a wolf was recorded in Great Britain in 1766 – a spitz was mated with a male wolf. The resulting litter looked like wolves, but had a softer temper. As a rule, such special-purpose dogs are bred by biological scientists as assistants to special services, military hunters, rescuers. So what makes wolfdogs better than dogs? Watch this video and find out.

Wolf dogs are an enormous amount of work. I accidentally got one thinking it was just an abandoned huskey pup. Loved her, but the time, effort and patience were way beyond just having any kind of dog.

My wolf dog was 135 lbs and.didn't know he was an animal. He thought he was human. He was so smart! I loved him so much!

I had a Shepherd Wolf for 9 years. He was half Timberwolf, black and silver. Far and away the best dog I ever had. Smartest too. Unfortunately he suffered from enzyme deficiencies and had 3 kinds of cancer. I had to put him down. Never again. RIP, Max...

A wolf mix was my first dog. She was smart. She was loyal. She was wonderful. A friend of mine also had a wolf mix who was loving and sweet. They were not related. They had different characteristics, body sizes, habits but as pets they were awesome. They are definitely for rural areas.

We had a White Female Wolf Dog. She was unusually large. She one day stood on her hine legs and put her paws on my brothers shoulders and look down at him. He's 6ft. 2in. tall. I was a kid at the time. She was also a good hunter and very intelligent. I miss her.

We had a wolf shepherd mix in the 70s and he was unbelievable. One instance stands out in my mind. My father left open the barn door by accident, while he was cleaning it out. He just bought a new bull who he thought he could trust. Out of the corner of his eye he saw the bull charging him and pinned him against a wall. My father was screaming for help when I came out of the house and the dog knocked the door out of my hand as he ran past me. He ran into the barn and went after the bull biting it in the ass and balls. The bull kicked him across the barn into a heap. And then turned his attention back to my father. That is when I stabbed it with a hay fork. Which got his attention on me and the dog came flying across the barn and bit it on the nose tearing half of it off as the bull was trying get him off. The bull and the dog went at for over 30 minutes before my father finally shot it. That dog saved my fathers life and probably mine that day. My father had 12 broken ribs and a two holes in his left lung from the bull. And yes he still mustard up the strength to finish the bull. At that time the dog was about 16 years old and I was 10. He lived to 24 years old. Ill never fogget that dog or that day.

I adopted real wolves in Sanctuaries in my past years, and they always treated me fairly and nicely
That explains why Wolfdogs are the better breed. I personally find Wolves in general to be better than people see them, they don't like to attack first, they only defend themselves, unlike street dogs

As a person who studied Cynology I would not recommend having a hybrid as a pet unless you are totally knowledgeable in dog/wolf language and training. All dogs are descendants of the wolf. But they hybrid is still part wild and handled with great care. I have a working line German Shepherd who needs at least three hours a day of exercise. It's a dedication to raising any working line and hybrid.

them: wolfdogs can live up to 30 years
me: I´ve heard enough, I am satisfied.

I was raised with a GSD wolf cross. The sweets dog I have ever had.Only problem was a normal 6 year old boy walking a 125 lbs dog. Yes he was very protective of the family but never even got after anyone other than 1 time somebody tried to break into our house.Did not work out well for him.Brono was a great family member who got along with all the other animals. Lol his best buddy was a cat

Some 15-17 years ago I saw this monstrosity of a wolf-dog mix in the back of a pickup truck chilling whilst the owner was inside a grocery store shopping near Lake Cachuma Ca. We couldn’t believe our eyes so we waited till the owner came out of the store and asked him about his pet. He was real cool about talking to us and telling us a bit about his pet, it was a beautiful beast. Great video. 🤙

First, I love dogs period. Dogs pick up on that and love me right back about 99.9% of the time. I met a malamute wolf hybrid that was huge, about 150 lbs. He walked up to me, put his head next to my stomach and growled so low that I couldn't hear him but could feel the vibrations in my gut. That very near literally scared the crap out of me. Once he established dominance through smelling my fear he figured it was time to play. Great animal who could have ended my life in a few seconds.

People are buried 6ft under the ground because a wolf could smell a body under 5 ft of dirt so 6ft became the standard depth to keep wolves from digging up bodies and eating them

I am in Alaska and got a 90% wolf hybrid 1990s. He was around 160 pounds in his prime and was a great companion. I am around 5ft 4in tall and when i would let my hand hang it would rest on his back. When he would stand on his hind legs he was easily over 6 ft tall. His jaws were so strong he could snap a 3ft long raw hide in half in like 3 bites. They are not at all like a dog and that is what people need to remember. I have had many dogs including Alaskan Malimute and i will say Taku Waukon was a once in a life time friend.

My wife and I had a wolf dog mix she was 110lbs she was our family baby she was very very protective of her family we had Maggie for seventeen years our five girls still talk about her.

[dixiehurley]

I once had a half Woolf Siberian husky Dog she was the very best dog I have ever owned ! She was beautiful loyal and protective of my children and myself and she was so smart un believably smart ! And she was very very well behaved !

[SweetieEvie]

I grew up with a wolfdog owned by my grandparents. His name was Baby and he was wonderful. I didn’t know much about the mix until later on but I just loved him. They had him since he was a puppy and nothing was put towards working with like I’ve learned need done. He was just a good boy they took in and was an angel. His coat was unique too from what I’ve seen. I miss him, it’s been over 2 decades.

[popscoulter]

I've got no problem with wolf dogs. My issue is with people. Some people shouldn't have dogs let alone wolf dogs. Without training and social skills things will go bad.

[lailokenlefante]

I travel with a CSV entire male 42kg. He was almost impossible to manage upto about 3 years, was fearful and aggressive, probably wasn't from the best breeding stock, but we have taught eachother a lot. He is 6 now. He is still a touch skittish, but only a touch - I wouldn't describe him as shy in any way. He has overcome his fears, but needs to feel safe and that we are in control at all times. He is still rather aggressive, but that doesn't mean he's a bad dog, quite the contrary. He must be secured with a good harness. He would attack anything if allowed to do so, and so it is a great responsibility to care for him. However, he is not particularly bothered by other small dogs, but I wouldn't let him off the lead after a jogger if you know what I mean. The most important thing for me is to allow him to be himself as much as possible so that he can live as fulfil a live as possible, and the most important thing for him is to do his job and defend the pack - that is me of course and the few good friends I have that he trusts. So if your not a part of our pack, well, he won't ask for your respect, he will definitely demand it, which soon reveals how domesticated homosapiens have become. Happy walkies.
