How do you know she's 50/50 ? Just curious.

Hoxy · 01-10-2010, 08:12 PM

She's not. Shes 70 husky/30 wolf. It goes by the % of what the parents were. Which I met both. But even that 30% people need to be careful, [heck] even 10% people need to be careful. Still has wild in it.

Here some pics of her parents

Which is supposed to be the wolf mix?

Hoxy · 01-10-2010, 08:14 PM

The father. The big ol' white one.

What was done to prove the lineage?
honestly he looks just like a malemute:

Looks CAN be deceiving, though. This LOOKs like a wofldog, but it;s a pure husky..

Nothing, didnt really care to check it out.

Alot of dogs look like wolves and alot of huskys all look similar. He wasnt as big as a malamute. I've been around mutes before. and his snout isnt stubby. Has a point to it. Eyes are yellow. Not to mention mutes can look alot like wolves none the less. lol. So its a hit or miss. Its what I was told, her behavior and some of her traits match it. And even if they called me today and told me that she wasnt really part wolf, wouldn't effect me in the slightest.

The mom is a pure akc Siberian Husky
The dad is a Husky/Wolf .. no malamute.

This topic came up a lot on this site over the years.

I had a hybrid (Wolf/GSD) for almost 8 years, so if anybody has questions they can PM me. I don't know anything about genetics, but I am familiar with how they relate to a family in a neighborhood setting.

And no, I didn't look for it or buy it ... our family adopted it from a relative that went away to college.

People have always been fascinated by wolves, they are beautiful, mysterious wild creatures. Naturally, some people believe if you raise a wolf from a puppy, you will get the mentality of a dog in a gorgeous wolf body. Hence, the start of wolf hybrids. There have been cases of hybrids fitting in well in a family situation, however, the majority of these hybrids have problems. Most hybrid rescues, at least the responsible ones, will tell you that domestication of wolves should never be attempted and that hybrids are, all in all, NOT a good thing. We cannot make the wolf into something it is not.

Very good point.
Our hybrid was an amazing animal that I feel lucky to have had in my life .... but her life wasn't what is should have been since she was 'domesticated'.
