This is the second damned time I've posted this.Stupid thing wont work!
Dolly is a Low Content WD.
Tez is a Mid to High Content.
You can not do a blood test and see how many recent wolf genes are in a WD.
Wolves and Dogs have the same genetic make up.
In 1993 wolves and dogs were re-classified as the same species.
Canis.lupus (wolf)
Canis.Fam (dog) abbreviated.
Ahh thank you guys!
You CANT treat wolf dogs like a "normal" dog. "though there's always an exception to the rule!" LOL.
Most times it is recommended you get them before they are even weaned, to start the bonding process, keep in mind, the loyalty for people that is instilled in our "normal" dogs, isnt usually found in wolf dogs. By nature wolves fear humans.
Well through alot of hard work "I mean alot of tears and oh my gosh i cant do this anymore!! :O " you can have a companion that will adore you for the rest of it's life...and you it!.
Higher content wolf dogs require very high fences, over six foot tall, with bottom fencing to prevent digging, "some people have gotten away with less, but I wouldnt recommend it" !. They are escape artists! LOL. You know how you might pop your Golden on the nose with a news paper if he chews your couch up? It is not a good thing to do that with a wolf dog. These sweeties PLOT REVENGE! Trust me folks, they do. I popped the female Dolly,"mind you not hard enough to hurt her, but hard enough she remembered it." :| and she got me back two weeks later. I have heard of wolf dogs waiting months to get revenge when their humans do them "wrong"! LOL. My lord in heaven, there is so much about these beauties, I know im leaving stuff out!Ahh yes, far as I know, the Rabies Vaccination still hasnt been approved for wolves and wolf dogs, most states you see, classify them as wild animals."it does work,I have never heard of them getting it while on shots." "always the exception, even "normal" dogs can get it while on the vaccine"
Stress, stress is a major factor you must keep in mind with these beauties, stress will kill.It does kill. Specially` the higher content. "higher content as in more recent wolf "genes".Even a simple thing as loading into a car can induce stress.
.
They, in nature poo and pee anywhere they feel like it, and you are very hard pressed to ever "house break" a mid to high content wolf dog.
I would not by any means tell someone to get a wolf dog as a pet.It is hard hard work.And legal issues very commonly arise.If your wolf dog bites a tresspasser on your land,you very well might have to have the animal put down."the rabies thing" But if you have the time, energy and patience..."and are crazy, yes folks, wolf dog we lovers are CRrAaZzZzY!"...and you really want them, can I stop you? I'll get some links together if y'all want, I've found a few good sites about wolf dogs.I do hope this he;lps, there is SOOOOoooooOOoooo much more to say about them, but my poor small mind is smoking now ! LOL.
Oh yeah, the typical wolf dog hello goes something like this....... " WOOF...HOOOOWWWWWLLLLLLLLL......."pushing at your legs by now............WOSHHHH!....clawing at your face....NIP NIP NIP!!!.........lick .........NIP!......"shoulders you so hard you are forced to grab onto anything solid to keep your footing."Then it all starts over again when you return five minutes later.They dont realise we humans dont have tough skin, and are easily knocked over. "or do they!".
Dont get a wolf dog.Get a huskie instead.If you want a wolf dog after you get a huskie, get a LOW content then work your way up.
WOLVES are ILLEGAL to OWN.
You HAVE to have a LICENSE.
You dont feed a Wolf KIBBLE.
WOLVES eat MEAT.
Wolves and dogs can not digest GRAINS.
Leave that to horses and cattle.:|.
