Wolfdog hybrids are not for everyone and in all the years of education I have done about them, most are dogs sold at wolf dogs and have little if any wolf in them. I helped raise 2 pure wolves and 2 hybrids. I have visited many wolf facilities thought out the years of doing education. They are not pets in any sense, but companions for those that know wolf behaviour. I have a FAQ page on my wolfdog site. http://hometown.aol.com/dnlkat2/Banditspageindex.html

Too true, Hybrids are not for everyone! Not because of aggression, which most believe, but due to the fact they simply are not dogs, and need the pack leader to behave like a pack leader not a doting human. But then again Malamutes and Siberian Huskies also need special people too ;) Which is why I created this site.

Its unfortunate that California changed the regulation to include "...but cities and counties may prohibit possession or require a permit." That is a recent change :( IMHO it is unconstitutional for a local city government to dictate what type of dogs we can and can't have.

Sorry, My wolfdog page is not listed, that is my malamute page, my mistake. Here is the correct page link for the wolfdog page with FAQs. http://hometown.aol.com/wolfwmn48/Tundrasong.html

Wolfwmn, your right and wrong, some wolfdog and pure wolves can be aggressive. If you look at my wolfdog page, we had one named Nakai, he was a pure wolf, who was aggressive to some people, usually folks who didn't know wolf behavour, and to small framed women. Even though he was socialized really well and friendly up till he matured, he did turn aggressive as he got older. He was fine with the people who raised him and never forgot anyone that came to visit him, but he started challenging small framed women and those that were not educated in wolf behaviour. I would not give back anything I learned from these amazing animals. Your right you need permits, but that does not stop people from keeping these guys. Im totally for leaving wolves in the wild and not in backyards.

i have 3 wolfdogs, i will admitt that at first i too was one of those people who were all about them being part wolf, but over time i have been doing a lot of research on both wolf and wolf dog behavier. and over time the bond between each of my wolfdogs has grown to a point where to me it doesn't even matter how much wolf if any is in my wolfdogs. they're a part of my family/pack, and i'm very proud of all three of them in they're individual accomplishments. i still do research on them and also have an abundent amount of info from very experianced people that have been exposed to these breeds for a long time. you know who you are, and i thank you for your wisdom and knowledge on our lil' pack. i still think though that out here in california we do need to start making some noise about the breed, and all the benifiets of having them part of our culture!
