One of my favorite pets was a wolf hybrid. But I wouldn’t recommend them for everyone. They can be a little bit spooky.

I guess the love of wolves depends on which side of the fence you are on. If you have a herd of cattle..not bueno. If you can enjoy them from a distance with no threat to your livelyhood..they are beautiful.

According to my uncle, wolves are less deadly than wolf hybrids...and also according to the other old geezers in his neck-of-the-woods.

according to wikipedia, canis lupus and canis domesticus are considered now the same species by biologists. yes, the teacup chihuahua and the wolf are blood brothers.

Yeah, but then we’re told there’s only 2% difference between us and Chimps.

They sure make soft pelts.

My aunt who lives in northern Ontario has one on her bed. Used to lay on it when I was a kid.

Libtards hate Sarah Palin for allowing their control with hunting from small planes...that’s the only way their population can be controlled in the outreaches of Alaska.

I have this weird fascination with wolves and have never seen one.

I have wolf bookmarks,calendars,playing cards,and a lovely painting of a wolf I bought at an art show.

I forgot to add...he showed me a picture of the old dog that saved his life. It looked like a yellow lab except it had a larger head and a black muzzle and a slightly curvier tail. His name was Butch and my uncle says “he was no bird dog but that dog could read my mind even though he didn’t even know me.”.

I accidentally rescued a 7/8 hybrid... most incredible dog ever. Best huntress ever, too. As it turned out. Or rather, as a sheriff’s deputy brought to my attention.

Wolf-dogs have to be entirely fenced in, no two ways about it.

I've got a good one! First off, I live in the NE. A couple of towns over, a women in a graveyard was stalked by a coy-wolf. A guy who was also in the graveyard saw it covertly following the lady and scared it off, and he said his best guess at its size was 90-100 lbs. In my town, a smallish dog was taken. Also, I was out trekking in the woods and came across some scat...Fair sized, not as big as a domestic dog, with fur and stuff in it.

Anyway, my story...I was out walking at night a couple of winters ago, not in the woods but next to them. I heard this sort of yapping sound, and I later compared what I had heard to some videos online and it sounded just like coyote/wolf sounds. Suddenly I heard a drawn out howl, very loud, and the yapping noises got more excited...And closer. Well, I was with my brother and he started to take off running, but like a good scout (ha) I held him back and we continued at rather a fast walk. Remember, we were walking along a treeline (we moved away from it a bit after this started) and the excited yapping from the woods stayed abreast with us as we walked. Eventually (not fast enough), it began to fade, and we heard a chorus of mournful howls (call of the wild anyone?) that continued till we got out of earshot.

Creepy, to say the least.

Where I used to live, we had big trouble with coyotes. They were overpopulating. Men shot them (SSS). But one of the men was an Indian and he took blood and spread it next to the wood line where the coyotes trailed into the neighborhood. He did that as a warning to them. Maybe that is why that guy hung the dead wolf-dog out front of his house?

About ten years ago, my two dogs were at the back of my fenced in yard, barking up a storm. I went to the deck and tried to hush them. When that didn't work I sent my husband out back. He came in and said they were barking at a wolf to which I laughed at him and told him he was crazy! You see we live in the 10th most wealthy county in the U.S. according to the WSJ. Our zoning laws are such that each McMansion has to be on an acre so we are spread out, with very few fenced yards. Children play in our yards, little dogs with electric collars play in our yards so I KNEW there was no way there could be a WOLF in our back yards. I called the Police Department and told the dispatcher that my husband said there was a WOLF in our backyard. Was there any wolfs in Brentwood? She said “Yes, the government had a wolf release program where they released wolves in our county.” WE ARE AN URBAN AREA 8 MILES SOUTH OF NASHVILLE. That's my wolf story. One more Bizzaro government plan.

If there are going to be any new Wolf-Dog hybrids, they should be a mix of Wolf and Golden Retriever. I want any Wolf-Dogs around me to always be happy when they see me or any other human, wag their tales and be play like puppies—even when they grow old. I love Goldens.

PS - I know that Wolf-Golden Hybrids would NOT be friendly like Goldens and would also be dangerous. But a guy can dream, right?
