We recently rescued a wolf hybrid pup, named him Beowulf, and are now looking for a forum for wolves and hybrids similar to this one for GSDs. If you know of any, please hook me up with the link.
Beowulf is now 4 months old. When we got him, he was beaten and starved, weighing only 23 lbs. In our first month together, he put on 12 lbs. We're not sure how big he'll get, but he has giant paws. We were told that his father was a 190 gray wolf/malamute. I don't think he'll get to be that size, and I sure hope not. We wouldn't be able to afford to feed him. Haha! His mother is a red wolf/siberian husky mix; however, when you look at Beowulf and compare his pics to pics of artic wolf cubs, they look identical, so I'm not sure if we were given good info. Here are some pics: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() We were lucky that our vet gave him a 100% clean bill of health after what he went through those first few months of his life. He was purchased from a breeder by a junkyard owner who wanted to make him into his mean, wolf guard-dog. Good thing someone saw what was going on and rescued him from that situation and gave him to us for a forever home. He didn't have any broken bones or anything, even after getting kicked repeatedly with the command NO. We've helped him become housebroken, learn to walk on a lead, start learning the basic commands, and am getting him all of his required shots at our holistic vet so we can begin the socialization process with dogs at the dog park. He's got VERY LONG LEGS, which I'm hoping is a wolf attribute, because I don't want him to have leg issues later in life. He was checked for hip dysplasia and they didn't find anything yet, so my fingers are crossed that he'll grow into those legs. Haha! Let me know if your hybrid had long legs as a pup. It's my only worry about him. It's mainly his back legs. He can run fine though, and I don't see where he has any problems with them (yet). Thanks in advance for any and all help steering me to a wolf hybrid message board!

Here's the google image pic of the arctic wolf cub I found that looks so much like Beowulf did when we first brought him home: ![]() ![]() And here's another comparison (notice the mask and the really thick white/cream eyelash fur right over his eyes): ![]() ![]()

Counter, do you know who the breeder was?
Nevermind- I see you are trying to find that out. Do you know where the breeder is located
