THE TIMBER DOG - DANGEROUS WOLFDOG or FLUFFY PET?

Meet Wolf Lookalike Breed The Timber Dog - A new dog breed with a very low percentage of wolf content. Apparently this dog is the best alternative to a true wolf or a high content wolfdog with its confidence, friendly demeaner, trainability and biddable nature. But it does have wolf content, so is it still safe as a pet? Anneka meets Maggie Player of The Timber Dog Club, as well as owners of this breed just to find out if these 'Game of Thrones' Wolf alikes are everything they say they are...

Thanks for this. We had a wonderful wolfdog back in the early 2000s named Freyda and she was about 50% timberwolf and a mix of husky and malamute for the other 50%.
She was almost 100lbs when she was full grown and looked almost completely like a wild wolf with the thick coat and long kegs.
I was present when she was born and she bonded with me until she was weaned and then she and I were inseparable.
Both my sons were born when she was young and she treated my newborn sons as if they were her own cubs and would stay within a few feet of the baby and my wife at all times.
She loved our friends and extended family once she knew them but strangers were able to get her defensive until she was introduced to them.
She was the most loving and amazing member of our family and we all miss her terribly since she passed at 12 yrs old.

They are so gorgeous. I was at an agricultural show last weekend. There was also a dog show going on too. I made a beeline for a huge wolf-like looking dog. I asked the girl what breed of dog he was as I petted him and she said he was 40% wolf content. I was surprised he was so friendly and laid back. He wasn't grey, more of a dark brown shaded colour. She said he was an escape artist, but was a lovely pet in the house. His back was at my hip height!

I'm still so gutted that I had to miss this show, I do love Drogo cuddles.

I'm on my 3rd dog from Maggie, the most recent one being a LC Wolfdog. All beautiful, all well bred, & all with fantastic temperaments.
It's nice to see breeders who put such effort into making sure their litters are not only healthy in all ways, but who actually keep up with the dogs & offer any support needed when in their new homes, getting the recognition they deserve for the dogs they work so hard for.

never seen the timber dog before. but looks very cute and sweet. thank you for sharing 😀

Beautiful doggo. All dog's are gorgeous, they all have their own traits. That's what makes them so endearing. My personal favorite was "Max" the Caucasian ovcharka from Manchester. He was immense, massive but with a soppy lovable face. Unfortunately some breeds are demonized which is unfair, it's how they're raised and treated by their owners. Humans are the problem in this regard.Your channel is one of the most intuitive out there. Over the years you've shown your devotion to the animal kingdom and that's really sweet. Your devotion is absolute.

My beautiful lady. The owner of the big heart and tender feelings. Three years ago, I was writing a research paper on the use of dogs in war, especially in snowy mountainous areas. On YouTube, I stumbled upon an episode of yours that talked about Huskies. And another episode about Caucasian dogs. After that, I started following all your episodes on your program with passion, love and admiration. Then my fellow officers started following the episodes of your program. We were sitting in amazement and astonishment at your great and wonderful courage as you talked to the Norwegian wolves. And how they love you intensely and are very jealous of you. You are, with complete honesty and absolute frankness, a wonderful and very great person in your noble goals. I wish you success, goodness and everlasting happiness. My regards.

Not a dog for novice owners but a beautiful looking wolfdogs overall

I have one of these dogs! He is so loyal, he never leaves my side. He is a completely ‘off-the-lead’ dog, but I did quit my job to train him full time when I first rescued him at 10 months old. The credit must go to him for his training though, he was very easy to train. I suspected he would be from the moment I saw him, he was very calm and calculated for young dog.

A guy I met in Siberia has "pet" wolves. He lives right at the @ss end of the middle of nowhere. He has built them what he calls a "dog village" with water warmed to +6C in winter in what looks like the old ceramic water troughs. There are also large dog kennels that that can sleep in or on. There are some fences but only on two sides. Other than that they come and go as they please and he feeds them occasionally. I got talking to him in Irkutsk.

Back in the early 90's I met a high content wolf dog. The owner allowed my brother and I to interact with him. He was huge, with a gray coat and yellow eyes. He put his paws on my shoulders and licked me in the face. I was a kid then and living in Michigan (before wolf dogs were banned there).

[dorisreed]

Had a full blood wolf. She was neither vicious or totally destructive. We have had dogs that were worse by far. Beautiful creatures. Love to have another someday.

[flowplanet]

what a great option. thankyou for sharing this breed with us. there are so many good breeds depending on your needs but if you want a wolf or close as possible this is defiantly a contender.

[scottstewart]

My best friend is a German shepherd. He’s big and handsome and a perfect companion for me. I love all dogs and wolves and my favorite charity is a wolf sanctuary in Colorado.

[mauranoonan]

Such an interesting dog breed. Bear is absolutely beautiful!

[ChristyBeck-ysdw]

The tip a dog looks really cute and gorgeous thanks for the information about him and everything so now we know what he is like

[BeefyTacoCS]

I'd love seeing a video about akbash dogs. I know you did a video on their cousins but I feel like they are a super old and unique breed people should learn more of.

[NormanF]

You might be better off with a German Shepherd with an agouti colouring. Much smaller and easier to handle for a novice owner with a biddable personality. Though if you’ve experience with a working/herding dog, the Timber Dog could be the perfect match for the right person. Gorgeous dog with the wild look people love but with a domestic dog temperament. This is the ideal wolf dog for such people. A new breed with serious potential for the future. 😊

Absolutely Beautiful !!
