Wolf Hybrid Dog Breed Information Profile

If you are hearing the call of the wild, the answer may be a Wolf Dog! There are a number of sub-species of wolves which are selectively bred with other dog breeds as pets, including Arctic Tundra Wolves, Alaskan Interior Wolves, British Columbian Timber Wolves, and Eastern Timber Wolves. Wolf Hybrid Dogs are beautiful animals that possess an extremely high level of intelligence. With the right care, training and environment, wolves make loyal, loving pets who are very devoted to their human families. 

To make a compatible friend, Wolf Dogs must be taken early and hand raised by their new owner. Wolf babies grow much faster than dog puppies, but mentally they mature slow, not reaching full maturity until around three years of age. Wolf Hybrid dogs need to be fed a soy-free dog food, as they cannot properly digest soy. Wolf Dogs are very smart.  Their brains are documented as being 20% larger than a dogs' brain.  They are highly intelligent and learn very fast.  Wolf Hybrid Dogs are very strong animals with high endurance levels.

Wolf Dogs develop a strong bond to their owners, but require a lot of attention and exercise.  They drink a lot of water, and most like a wading pool in their containment area.  Wolf Hybrid dogs develop an intense love for their human family.  Wolf Dogs must have a containment area, they cannot be allowed to run unsupervised.  This is for the Wolf Hybrid dogs' protection. They need a large pen, at least 30x30 8-10 feet tall, and in some cases, a cattle shocker fence is needed.

Being pack animals, Wolf Hybrid dogs tend to do poorly unless they have a friend. It is recommended that they be kept either in pairs, or with a dog as a companion. There are no special requirements for veterinary care, as Wolf dogs are very hearty and healthy animals.  A rabies shot, regular worming, and a heartworm prevention, and regular vaccinations are normally all that is required. They can live to be 15, 16, 17 years and older if taken care of. 

Wolf dogs aren't for everyone, but with careful planning, the proper care and containment and lots of love, they make a wonderful friend.  Wolf dogs are versatile, and can adapt to hot or cold climates.  Wolf dogs are usually shy of strangers, but loyal and loving animals with those they feel comfortable with.
