For those who are curious, Samoyeds are 50% floof and 50% cloud.
....don't forget the snoot
And booper
Did I miss her discussion on the Samoyed/Wolf mix? I owned a Samoyed... gorgeous, sweet dog but had a mind of her own like the malamute. Loved that girl:)
@@leanmeanmememachine7660 Don't forget the floofins and the wiggle wog either!! D:
and very noisy🐐
I find it funny when the pictures of the dogs are appearing looking all fierce and then there’s the picture of a Samoyed like a boy smiling ready for school 😂😂💀💀💀
reddphoenix16 😂😂😂😂 exactly. It’s so cute and happy.
The famous, endearing "Sammy smile." :)
Finnish Lapphunds also have "the Look" By the way our Lappie has a Samoyed BFF 😂😂
@@jfkoetse And energetic🐐
@@vikingdogmanship Yes!
i owned an f1 1/8 german sheapard 7/8 canadian timber wolf and he was a hand full. he was very protective of my family and very unpredictable in town around other people.we live out in the mountains of idaho so he had plenty of space to run around.he was a strong 125 pounds and stood at my waiste. there was very little training him other then the basics. he lived a healthy life of 12 years but l don't think i would be able to handle an animal like this again at my age now.
have u seen the dog whisper before? i love watching him deal with all kinds of situations anyway i saw an episode once of a big dog like urs it was very protective and was acting unpredictable in town/around other people if they got to close to the dogs "territory" then it would bark i would like to explain it to u but im not exacly sure if i remember it curectly but i know that the video is on yt somewhere if u want to see it my points is i think u can have 1 more if u rly want to BUT MARK MY WORDS if u dont have the KNOWLEDGE to handle the situation then it will be just as hard as before trust me ( im sorry about ur loss i know how it feels and sorry about my poor english have a nice day )
Thomas Frandsen
I'd take Jason's word that is based from his experience, than your little youtube research and have the audacity to give advice that he can again own "the same dog" with "proper knowledge"
Cesar Milan is a pinnacle in dog handling and psychological behavior, even him is still vulnerable to the canine's unpredictability and yet you want an elder to own again a lively yet unpredictable dog?
@@faintsherin4468 u can handle every dog with the proper knowledge and my little yt reseach is based on alot of bogs from the library and all episodes of cesar experince from the 1 dog i own myself and my family dogs and alot more ( i would be an complete idiot if i just went on yt watch some videos and then tell someone else how to do things but thats not the case ) i am advicing him to do some reseach and get the proper knowledge if he wants 1 more i didnt tell him he should to get 1 more and also why are you so mean then u litterly know nothing about me clearly u could ask but u choosed to attack and asume ( again sorry about my english im still learning )
Take each dog on an individual basis and a breed basis - together. For example, keeping an Irish Setter in an apartment in a large city is bound to create issues (usually) since they need to run (unless very old). They could become aggressive out of frustration. I have seen many otherwise good dogs (of many kinds) arrive at the SPCA with "issues" that are really about how they are forced to live. However some dogs - a few - are just psychotic (often due to excessive breeding) just as some children are born that way and kill with no remorse. In these cases if these dogs can live on a farm or somewhere open they might be fine, but in a city they would be considered a problem. A lot of this is because people simply don't acknowledge that they are intelligent creatures with their own personalities, likes and dislikes. Then there are the kennel clubs that keep wanting pure races that goes against what we know of the need for genetic diversity. Funny we didn't agree with Hilter's ideas on racial purity but we are fine with it when it comes to animals even when they start showing recessive traits.
you sir had a wolf
"He doesn't care if I'm here or not". Malamute looks at her like she's his world, lol. I guess they really are bad at doing what they're told sometimes =P.
Frida lmaaaoooo
My malamutes actually were and are very good dogs. But they were and are crosses. Affectionate and loyal dogs. Not the best around other dogs.
@@thomasmaloney843 My two ended up being great with both big and small animals. Overly friendly, they have to say hi to literally everything they see. They are def rightful pricks, but not an aggressive bone in their body.
@@thighrannosauruswrex you must have socialized very well from young age I'm assuming.
@@khirsah666 You should do that regardless of dog. The psychological development is crucial.
when I was about around five years old my parents bought a F1 wolfdog. 50% grey wolf, 25% German Shepherd, and 25% great Dane. it had strong mother/babysitter instinct and she never left my side. If I wonder too far from the house she either block me off or guide to my parents by her mouth leaving no marks. Sometimes go out hunting for food when I was inside if we don't buy dog food. Only reason I know much is because my memory and my parents talking about her. Best pet I ever had.
aw lovely story, thankyou for sharing
Great Danes are surprisingly motherly, same goes for female German Shepherds. I had a Great Dane growing up that would protect me like nobody's business. Before I was born, my sister was at the beach (like 2 or 3 years old) and my parents old Great Dane would walk along the beach with her, and if she started getting out into the water, he would reach down, grab her diaper/back of her shorts and carry her back to my parents.
Robert Vandergriff she bark ? or not?
Were the ears floppy or up?
I had a coyote-Samoyed mix, long ago. Beautiful dog and easily the smartest dog I had ever encountered. She was super mellow and almost never barked. However, she had the "wolf look" and the angled-out canines, so people were wary of her at first. But she was so lovey that the wariness didn't last. Big, fluffy, waggety tail-- gods, I miss that dog. She died around 2009 or so.
Random Coyote wow! Do you or can you post some of her photos?
Dog
We've had 5 Siberians rescues, miss them all.
@@gregsantos445 he probably just made that up for likes
>almost never barked
How? I mean, if there's a samoyed in there, the dog should be barking almost 24/7. Since our samoyed has some problems with his testicles (They're gonna come off in a few weeks), he never quite hit puberty, his ears are hanging and he shows no interest in female dogs or territorial protection, which makes him a very kind dog, but his voice is a bit high-pitched, so the barking can get a little annoying. Can't get angry at him though, he's just too cute for that.
I'm gonna breed a Tiger with my cat
@NoSkinGod They have, the toyger
@@potatoesandbread3455 obviously it isn't part tiger, but they did selectively breed it to resemble the tiger. That's as close as their going to get with a cat tiger mix
Hello Broadcast it wouldn’t be completely impossible if you got the semen from a cat and injected it into a tiger or a lion or into a cat but I think it’s wrong and they’d be too big for a cat to push out resulting in a C section which the cat has a 50/50 chance of survival.
@@anonymousbuyer7588 I mean the babies are always suppose to be the size of the mother IDK how that would actually workout with such a size difference.
@@anonymousbuyer7588 it is impossible to breed two different species.The easiest way to explain it, is that each species has its unique number and form of chromosomes,so two meiotic cells from each one would be incompatible and unable to create a zygote
Her malamute looks like something a fantasy artist came up with. I had a malamute when I was a kid. He was actually very friendly, playful, and personable. Someone stole mine on a very hot day in July while he was sleep in the front yard. Great pet but you do have to know the breed, as with all animals.
I don't understand this. There are actually people who steal dogs? How do you know he didn't just get out of the yard and run off?
@@CaliforniaCarpenter7 Yes people steal dogs, especially really beautiful dogs and purebreds of any breed.
My first Malamute was stolen but I got him back because the man who stole him was bragging in a bar about it and another man took my dog away from him and waited for an advertisement for a lost dog to come into the paper because he knew the beautiful, healthy dog in the thief's pick-up truck was loved by someone. I ended up having Hookah, a 130 poumd champion line purebred, for 16 years and I'm forever grateful for that honorable man who not only did the right thing but had the courage to take my dog away from the criminal who stole him.
@@Susweca5569 Yikes. That's trashy as fvck that there humans that low. Sad, really, but I'm stoked you got your dog back. I put gps in my barn cat just in case someone traps him (I'm up in the woods in the mountains) and tries to throw him in the river like people do to strays. But I'd never heard of dog theft tbh.
"Here's my malamute Valdez and he's a prick"
Too much work. I'm just going to get a pet snail
lmaoo
LMAO 😂 😄 😃
Well enjoy it dying in 2 days because it's too slow to eat.
Haha, nice one.
A ton of work. I’ve had 28 dogs in my life. Now have 2. Lots of work to take care of them properly and feed them good quality food. Nothing worse than people getting dogs and then feeding them garbage like Pedigree dog food.
I got a 90% timber wolf. He us very smart and yes they love to run.
I do have 10 acres so he is happy
Love the howling I even howl too.
I was howling with my dogs once and we were answered by wolves! It was the coolest thing ever! I made sure to keep them indoors that night!
We had one.98%wolf husky mix. He bred with our Brittany spaniel mix. They all ended up with her black and white coloring. But his blue/green eyes. And yes going walk about was a problem but Tip always came home.
@@Aethuviel The North American Grey Wolf is also known as the "Timber Wolf". In Canada, some wolf-dogs are the result of accidental breeding between wild wolves and dogs. In the far North most Malamute/Husky/sled-dogs are assumed to have at least some Timber and/or Arctic wolf in them.
That quote belongs on facebook
why do I feel like most ppl hear are bullshiting
I'm super impressed that Anneka has so much personal experience with these wolf dogs. I wasn't expecting her to actually own them.
So Alaskan malamutes are just like cats. Excellent
Sophia June Except it’s 10 times the size and it’s it runs on a leash.
My aunt's Malamute was my babysitter. Kip was especially careful to keep me from falling in the channel.
😂
Yeah basically just a cat. Doesn't really care about their owner. But they don't sleep all day and they actually go out for walks. Possibly even trainable. But that's about it.
😂😂😂
Some corrections about Huskies.. 1: Sure they escape and take off but not in search of freedom. They have instincts to go for hunting and that is the main reason. They always comes back. Our Husky went out for 24 hours and we went looking for it for several hours. The next day it slept outside our door..
2: They don't like humans that much generally or not the way we think. They like to be in our presence sure but often not to cuddle. They can be very dangerous close to children because they lack the ability to read it's signals. When they feel annoyed or unpleasant they don't bark usually. The show their teeths like wolves do. If children don't back away then, they may end up being bitten. Also when they sleep they prefer a lot of space and usually not close to us. The main reason is that our beds and bodies are to hot for their comfort.
3: Many of them don't work well amongst other dogs. Some establish to much dominance and creates tension that makes other dogs scared and nervous. Others feel cornered and threatened and may attack dogs who just want to play.. It all depends on the individual and all husky owners know that no huskies are alike.. A lot of their behaviours align with your discription of Alaskan Malanmute.
you are right about everything you said also husky does not really do well with small dogs most the time and i have seen alot of videos of dog parks where the husky attacks other dogs for dominance
LMAO yeah my husky often assert dominance to other dogs and I always get worried for the other dogs cuz my husky never gets hurt its often the other one
Even my lab was like that
You probably can‘t break it down like this generally. I grew up with an Alaskan Husky. He definitely was not what you would call a family dog. Slept outside most of the time. As a child i had to be careful not to annoy him or he would start showing his teeth, but he would never attack me. He was very protective when other people came close and he needed a lot of running every day next to the bike, on skis or sleds.
When he became very old, we got a Sibirian Husky. He was completely different. Very friendly to everyone and every dog. If some other dog would start getting aggressiv he would just leave and does not care anymore. Like she said in the video, they are experts in running away. He always managed to find the smallest hole to escape under the fence and he even started to open doors in the house to run away. Sometimes he would come back on his own and sometimes people managed to catch him because he is very friendly and come to them.
Unless you have at least 10 acres and constant time I wouldn't recommend any Wolfdog.
And not just a little bit of money...
@@MZ-rv1bu or energy, I can say this as I trained my Belgian Malanois and I love him. Thank god I'm young and have the fitness level to keep up with him, but I'd take him to various parks after obediance training and run him. Public baseball feilds or soccer feilds that aren't in use are perfect. You really need to make sure you have enough room in your house
Disagree most back yard mine has had was a 1/4 of an acre and that was for just 2 years been in an apartment life for about 5 years. That being said it was a challenge if I wasn't back in time from work something was bound to be chewed on and between me and my roommate who had a shepsky we took them out 3-5 times a week either for hikes or to the dog park. I would definitely suggest having land for any active breed, but it's not impossible to own one with little space.
Experienced with German Shepard's, and have a 1 hectare garden; I can tell you he (and previous ones before) doesn't give a shit about it. He would go along with 1/8th times that no problems. He always stays with us.
MMMMMMMMMmmmmmmm You defo need a big garden and lots of time but for a low content, far down the line wolfdog but not quite as much of everything.
You have filled my heart with so much hope that one day I'll have a wolf dog as part of my family. When I was a child I was raised with a full blooded Timber Wolf. He was my heart. He died when I was 7. He was rescued from a bear trap as a pup thanks to my father. I had the most wonderful childhood from 3 to 9 years old in the out skirts of buffalo ny. Lots of woods to roam with all the freedom we wanted while living at a small dead end street that lead to a large creek and endless adventures . I'm 45 now and have been researching what type of wolf dog would be best for my experience and situation and was not comfortable adopting until I watched your videos. My heart and home has felt empty since his passing.Thank you for giving me hope for one day I can bring home a family member I have not yet met. Xox blessings to you and all of yours!
my alaskan mal was the most loving, gentle-giant, patience, and affectionate dog i've ever had. he was so smart and responsive to us. he's never been aggressive as he's a lover. he's also very disciplined and never touches his food without our permission -with the right training it's not difficult! they're such beautiful animals, will be getting another one! i've also seen malamute/timberwolf mix that was extremely tamed, loyal and calm and was my mal's friend. timberwolf were known to be very dangerous and protective.
My malamute is a lot more obedient than my husky. So intelligent, and with that mal temperament adorable and loves his hugs. My husky loves being patted but much more independent. Wolf my Mal does bark like most,
How did you train him?
Jean Wang My boyfriend and I are looking into getting an Alaskan Mal. We met one at a shelter that we absolutely fell in love with but were unable to take home. After seeing so many negative comments about the breed I’m unsure about pursuing our search... how can we find a Mal that is more calm and friendly?
Most are very good family dogs and can be trained .Start training at a very young age and keep it up .I do have a female that is very protective of us and her area .She is not good with strangers and fixed males .
It depends on the dog and how it was bred .Overbreeding usually makes for a poor pet .Bring someone with you that knows about dogs .Ask every question you can think of from the breeder .Don't get an Alpha or you will have your hands full.
I've worked in domestic-bred wolf and wolfdog rescue for years and this is the best, most informative video I've ever seen. Thank You!
thankyou, thats really kind of you.
Adopted a wolf dog from a shelter.These wolf dogs take an amazing amount of time.If you are a runner,you will have a life long companion,Mine was a one person dog.Please do not go to a breeder,go to a rescue.Mine died in March,I have stage four cancer and am looking forward to running with my BFF again.please they are not for everyone

i knew a husky - german sheperd - wolf mix named Dunken & he oftentimes had fun to jump over the 4m fence to play with the goats xD
once it was absolutely foggy i heard him & than saw him flying over me ^^
realy the nicest animal i´ve ever meet
Sounds like my first doberman. He would have enjoyed goats to play with. Loved to play with our cats but they'd only run with him indoors, outside he was too fast with his size.
I had a german shepherd wolf hybrid for 16 years that was huge and had the sweetest temper. My family got it from a local farm where a wolf had impregnated with their german shepherd. It was the most even tempered, protective, amazing animal. We kept him for his entire life until old age caught up with him and he passed away.
I like the German Shepherd wolf hybrids the best.
Interesting, My grandfather back in about 1980-81 had a 50/50 mix of wolf and German Sheppard as well. I recall as a 5 yr old flying across the room and landing on this wolf-dog. He never got aggressive with me ever. His name was Wolfy.
similar here only not a farm but a backing to the forest ... Best dog and did fine with most dogs and humans
I have a bad ass germen shephed pitbull mix that's animal agrisive and some times human agrisive
My dog scard a ladie haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa because I told it to
Funny that, wolf experts and dog experts will tell you not to get a wolf mix
Oisin, she really IS telling you not to get one, but if you are still crazy, go for at least 4th generation removed from the wolf, which, by then, is basically a dog. It's the personality traits that make them difficult to handle. At the end of the day, a wolf is still a wild animal and carries the genetic personality traits that make it possible for wolves to survive in the wild. Dang, y'all! A people pleasing wolf wouldnt survive as a species.
Alaskan Malamutes is the only genetically acceptable cross with wolf
Pieter Jan Zijlstra It’s really not odd at all, the minuscule contrast in their DNA makes a world of difference. Remember, many years went into making dogs the way they are
@@kizmoxstar4723 I just want a dog that looks like a wolf, I don't want one that acts like a wolf. Do you know if the Tamaskan would be a good choice? They look awesome!
@@Harperlarp Yes, I would!!
There was a German Shepard in my neighborhood that was scared of my beagle.
😂😂😂
I have a German Shepherd and they are the biggest goofs ever
Michael C so true
I had both of those dogs but my German Shepard got put down. :(
Carlos E he was probably taught to be nice to other dogs
i literally gasped in excitement when you introduced your malamute, they will forever have the favorite fluffy place in my heart. i didnt actually know how they could attack unprovoked and im sorry to hear about the Pomeranian
Pomeranians are usually the initiators in canine brawls because they attack first, then they get overwhelmed. It's the 'Small Mans' Syndrome'.
and ppl dont realize that the dog breed with the most bites on record is the infamous chihuahua...
maybe its because people care less, i mean people arent going to be as hard on a chihuahua for biting as a large dog because their bites arent super harmful
A cat bite is more harmful than a dog bite, so don't talk about the size of the bite.
Although my cat would slap the shit out of an overconfident Chihuahua
ive seen cats stand down large dogs so maybe
Thank you!!!!!! I am an ER nurse and we see more dog bites from them than any other breed! We always say they are worse than Pitbulls.
Sully Silly ur cat bites my husky and he will rip ur cat to shreds and have it as a snack
Some of the best dogs I've ever been around or owned have been German Shepherds. I like the big protective but loving and pleasing personality.
Me too. They're my favorite and so smart.
Suzette amen. I love my GSD so much! The most loyal dogs you can have!
how about the genetic defects. You like those too?
@@volgawolfhounds741 Man, always with this thing, just buy a working line german sheperd from Europe from a reputable breeder with papers and pedigree, and you'll have no defects/problems, just like any other breed.

You missed out on mentioning the best one; the Norwegian Elkhound. The Elkhound is decended from self domesticated Grey Wolf.

@@philiplawler4236 I've never heard about these ones. So it would be curiously to find any information about them.
@@user-ob4hl8dk4tThey are pretty. Way prettier than the other important Scandinavian dog the Swedish Valhuund, though I'd rather have the SV it as its the prototype corgi and a full sized dog just travel sized.
Pretty but kinda small by compariosn, probably risky if you breed a female dog with a male wolf since the pups may be too big for her.
@@user-ob4hl8dk4t there is several of spitztype breeds here in the north🐶
Thank you for the video and for honestly discouraging most people from obtaining wolfdogs. Your pups are all lovely! My Kei was a low content husky/samoyed/wolf cross and she was really something. Got her at 2 years old and had to basically start most of her training 'from scratch' and it took time for her to develop the trusting bond that helped with obedience. Never allowed to run off leash, though, or I would have never seen her again. ;) She was a big girl at 65 lbs with the longer wolf body and more compact husky/sammy feet. All white, deep pelt, beautiful face with amber eyes. She lived to be 13 and I miss that sweet girl.
I think I've been VERY LUCKY with my Siberian Husky. I waited YEARS before I got her and did LOADS of research BEFORE I got her. So I was ready and knowing what to expect. Something I HIGHLY RECOMMEND someone does BEFORE they get this beautiful breed and that is RESEARCH FIRST!! Like I was saying, I TRAINED my girl from the very beginning and I've been blown away by how smart she is. She's absolutely been the EASIEST dog I've ever trained. She learned ALL commands- sit, paw, other paw, and lie down- within around 20 mins! I can even leave her off lead and out of sight and I call her just ONCE and she comes STRAIGHT BACK. I've been able to do this with her since she was 1 year old. I've been extremely fortunate and all of what you said about Siberian Husky's I was expecting but have had the complete opposite- CRAZY but true. I DO BELIEVE we have a very strong bond though. She is MY girl and I absolutely ADORE her! Her ONLY downfall is she's very nervous when there's loud noises. Other than that- the best dog I've ever had the pleasure of owning :)
you sound like an amazing dog keeper and your bond with your husky is wonderful, well done x
Thank you so much! That means A LOT, especially coming from a fellow wolf lover like yourself :) x
Luna the Siberian Husky and friends I've been doing nothing but resheach I'm 14 so I cannot get a husky but I do want a German shepherd BEFORE I get a Husky though
Jackeline Frost If you're 14 you shouldn't be owning any dog let alone a Wolf hybrid Very huge responsibility unless you're living at your parents for life you will have a hell of a time finding a place that will rent to you with a Wolf hybrid
Ok, we get it. You're dog is well trained. Moving on.
I didn't knew that German shepherds had 10% wof DNA. I learned something today!
some probably have less now, its getting washed out of the breed. The only way to tell is a DNA test on an individual German shep to find out as I am sure they all vary.
All dogs are wolves.
no they don't have the dna and the looks only huskies and wolf dogs i think.
I think Beligan Shepherds actually have even more of it. Many of the Spitz and primitive breeds are also genetically similar to wolves.
Tiisiphone my wolf dog is 50 wolf 50 German shepherd
i have a purebred Siberian Husky and my god they are a lot of work
LokiTheHuskey same lol
Same I have three since their all family and we didn’t want to split them apart (The dad,the mom,and their daughter)
Wow I bet he/she is stunning there extremely beautiful
SeizaKokoro how so?
I have two Huskies and they sleep on my bed its great
I found this channel years ago after I’d starting getting into wolf dogs, realized the controversy and assumed she had all F1s and didn’t give her videos a shot. Now I finally am and I’m so glad to see the information presented. So different than the youtube es I watched at first years back. I love the advice and everything.
My mom had a Husky when I was just a baby and he was so protective of me and never left my side whenever I was outside when I was 3-8 years old. He always somehow broke the chain my mom had him on and always went miles away from the house, my mom and I would have to drive around to search for him and whenever we found him my mom would say "Wanna go for a walk Hawk?" and he'd jump right into the back seat with me (He was such a goof ball and fell for that line all the time and ended up howling when my mom hooked him back up to his chain and always gave my mom a hurt expression for tricking him)
Lol that was a nice and funny story 🙂
rip your dog must be so disappointed in you for being a weeb I feel bad for your dog
I have a White Husky Wolf mix. His eye color is like orange. I gotten him when he was 5 weeks old, he's now 7 years old. The first 2 years was the hardest as he wanted to be the leader. Once in a while he still tests me as he wants he way. I shake my finger at him, and he looks at me like I'll stupid. Makes me laugh a lot. He eats better than myself, beef, pork, chicken, fish and so on, average cost between 50 to 70 a week to feed him. I can leave his food in a dish and he wont touch it until I come back home. And then I have to sit on the floor by him for him to eat. He wants to fight all male dogs we come in contact with, but wants to mate with female dogs. One thing for sure I don't have to worry about anyone breaking into my house to rob me.
....unless they bring beef chicken or pork with them! HUskies are only as loyal as their nose!
Brilliant, I love content when the presenter answers all the questions I'm thinking of. Great info, beautiful 🐶 doggies!
I like how honest this is. Those dogs don't seem to be easy in any regard and the fact that she repeats that over and over again always brings that back into mind, so no matter how pretty or awesome they look: this is a wolf dog and those are not easy.
(and that poor pomeranian that the malamute killed. That must have been horrible...T_T)
Even if you don't have any wolf bred in and it is a straight-up Malamute or Husky they are still a challenge and a lot of people who have them shouldn't.
They get them for the romantic idea that they look like a wolf but the reality of managing and exercising them is an entirely different ball game. If Malamute or Husky does not respect you and does not get enough exercise, you've got a problem on your hands. That's why so many of them end up in shelterd, rehomed, or euthanized.
But what’s Great is she actually understands them and helps other people understand wolves , wolf dogs and other domesticated dog breeds that often get bad reputations or misunderstood and helps bring awareness to how they think and how great they can be when understood
A misunderstood animal isn’t a bad animal , it’s just an animal that needs understood
I can't understand why anyone would encourage people to get this breed, knowing that it is often a death sentence for the animal. We have a local wolf dog rescue, and the guy who runs it says he is overwhelmed with requests from people trying to get rid of theirs. There just aren't enough rescues to keep up with the breeders pumping these dogs out. Really sad.
I think it's good to at least educate those interested. People will get them anyway, just like drugs, humans are stubborn.
At least she is educating people. Not telling them anything is not going to discourage them. People will get these dogs regardless. Might as well help educate them so as to avoid issues as much as possible.
Chainsaw Kitten I've owned 6 f1 Wolfdogs and they were work (inherited from my grandma) but I loved it. It takes a strong person to deal with one not to mention finances, building a fence to enclose them all was 10k+ and proper food was 300 a month, most people can't/won't pay that much. These dogs need to stop being bred.
Chainsaw Kitten
U are right. Good info here though. I've had several. Most people are idiots and should not have them..mine were and are rescues. I've worked with them for 20 years plus. I have a big Malamute Arctic Wolf mix at present.
The author of the video did the right thing. Since it is not illegal to breed wolfdogs, she is educating the public about which ones are okay to get and how they should be bred. It is better to have responsible breeders of wolfdogs who will breed animals that actually make good pets, and a public that is aware of how to get a well-behaved, well-bred wolfdog, then how breeders and buyers currently purchase wolfdogs now, which usually involves an uninformed buy and results in many pets being returned, given up to shelters, or euthanized.
what about the samoyed, I was interested
That's why I chose to watch this, lol.
Exactly!! I was here for SAMOYED!!!
The Samoyed is nothing like the Siberian Husky. They were bred to be with families 24/7 so they are extremely social dog's. The Males Shed one a year, and the females twice a year (We always called it molting season). Typically they make poor guard dogs (my mother's Female Samoyed was extremely protective, so from time to time one will break the common mold lol). from the dogs point of view, if someone breaks in while you are gone, their attitude is, pet me, and you can have anything you want other than my Toy's, Dog Cookies and Dog Food. They are extremely intelligent dogs (My male pup was away from his litter for the first time, and I think they could have waited a couple more weeks before we picked him up. he was a little cotton ball with legs, and if he sat on your hand, there was a lot of hand remaining, so he was really young, but by his third day he was house trained), but they tend to view commands as totally optional, unless you add... NOW! to the command. Unlike Siberian Husky's, Samoyed Husky's stay at home (unless they are forced to part from their human, in that case they will Bolt as soon as they can, to get back home. But both breeds are such loving dogs (at the time, I had two Females and my mother had One. and I would visit my mother on the weekends and her "Cody" really disliked men because one day someone kicked her and broke her front leg and she needed surgery. but Cody loved me so very much. she was the only Dog that i know of that would give REAL Human type hugs, so when i showed up she would Cry, run up to me and sit up and take both paws and without putting any weight on me she would wrap her front legs around my waist and then turn her paws and them pull in hard for a Cody Bear Hug, and then she she would get down and tell me off for not visiting sooner by giving me a couple of the Samoyed trademark vocalizations called AROO's . and her hug was as good as hugs from other people, if not better.) And they LOVE TO PLAY, in fact Samoyed's are playful their entire lives. Samoyed Husky's also are very expressive with their emotions, and you can see it on their faces. They are almost always Happy, and you can see that happiness with their famous SMILE. but some days Samoyed's can be slightly depressed if their Human is also depressed. and anyone that has or had a Samoyed knows that You Don't Own A Samoyed..... They Own You ! As for Wolf's Samoyed's can act Very wolf like, especially if you have a male and a female ! Now Samoyed consider a family to be their Pack, but when that pack grows by adding more dogs especially other Samoyed, and if you try to breed them, they instantly start acting like a wolf pack. the Males, will view you are the pack leader (as long as your a good leader), and when the males are breeding age, they will battle you for once a year to become the pack leader. and during this time will refuse to listen to you, until you start following Wolf Pack Rules and act like an Alpha Male. once you do it, your good for another year lol. You can sometimes avoid all this by having either all females or all males.. I have raised 9 Samoyed Husky's and they are wonderful dog's, and if I had to choose male or Female, I would go with the Female Samoyed. My last Samoyed was truly a special dog. her name was Destiny, and she came from Australia (of all places). She was abandoned by her family due to the Australian dog import laws (long story) and she adopted me after my male Samoyed passed away) and because she was young, she bonded with me very quickly. she also knew that I was a Disabled Veteran, and if I was watching TV and raised my voice she would be right there to calm me down. the one thing she didn't tolerate was any Cussing ! hey, it's an Military Thing, and despite 16 years service in the Army, Destiny had me pretty well trained lol She was self trained as a service dog and being a disabled Veteran I was in need one. we went everyplace together. including the VA. (she was the worlds fuzziest Diva. she loved to make me smile, and was indispensable in helping me work though my Pain.) Then My Mother Died, and then I was forced to go homeless for 6 months over the winter, and deal with being alone on me and my mothers favorite holidays. Thanksgiving and Christmas, and then around Feb 3th I find out that Destiny had Fatal Breast Cancer (I never heard of a dog have that kind of Cancer) She masked her being so sick so I didn't worry about her. she was too busy worrying about me, then on Feb 9th (my birthday) she died in my arms, which totally destroyed me. the next day we took our last drive together to have her cremated. When I pass, I have made very specific instructions to have he buried with me. she's been gone 6 years now, and despite only being 51 years old, my health has been declining rather quickly, and most of that has to do with not being able to afford another pure bred Female Samoyed Husky pup. My Army Disability Pay is far to low to acquire another pup, which typically costs $600. So, to the question, are Sam's wolf like? and "my answer" is, yes in packs of 3 or larger with both male and female have seen them act in many ways like wolves, and I have seen them act a lot like people, and 100% loving family members. so, they are what you make them, just like children. I have had many breeds of Dog's, but the top 5 truly special dog's were 4 Samoyed Husky's and one was a Border Collie + German Shepherd Mix (she was a true Einstein !) I hid behind a wall, and she then noticed I was gone (she was busy watching TV) she walked next to the wall I was hiding behind, and I jumped out and nearly scared her out of her fur. little while later I was watching TV and I looked down and she was missing so I walked around that very same corner and she was hiding behind it, and then jumped out and scared me so bad I nearly shit my pants.. lol I hope I can have one more Young Female Samoyed Husky to turn into a service dog (I need one pretty bad), and I have always felt that it was the "wolf pack" qualities of the Samoyed Husky's that make the Samoyed husky such a great service dog. But that's just my opinion... lol
Weaponeer thats a long story
Weaponeer thank you for ur lovely story. may they live long years for u.
I had a female German shepherd. She was very loyal and protective. Thanks for the informative video.🐕🐶
I’m going to breed a Shark with my Betta fish 👍
In going to breed a blue whale and a schrimp 👍
I grew up with an Alaskan Malamute-Wolf hybrid dog (she was crossed with Arctic and Grey Wolf). She never attacked other dogs, she just never cared for them, didn't want anything to do with them. She loved humans, and was very protective of me when I was an infant. It is always a case-by-case basis, especially since she was an F1.
I own a wolf/white shepherd cross, and he is one of the sweetest dogs I've ever had the pleasure of having in my pack
Amethyst B that's lovely but has your dog shown any wolf like personality come through?
Amethyst Barr I have the same kind
My father once had a half wolf half German Shepherd named Moses that he found when he was a fireman. Sadly Moses passed away before I was born
This is one of the most informative shows I've seen. Thanks
We have a Shepherd /Huskie mix who was rescued. We got him about 6 months old…. And just love him! He’s now 13 1/2 so starting to have some health issues. Really smart … understands lots of language. He will howl when he hears a fire truck… that was a surprise. He does have that herding instinct … and also liked to go walk about. He was a real escape artist, but would come back when he was hot and tired. Huge personality. We did have some issues with nipping, but he’s great with people he knows and likes. He loves his walks … especially in the woods … and has an acute sense of smell. We’d love to clone him … so we’ll look for similar for out next dog.
I grew up around a shepherd/wolf mix. We always thought he was a wolf mix because of how huge he got, and how we found him as a pup under my grandmas porch all alone. He was protective of my grandmas land, but wasn't ever truly aggressive with people. Unless saw as a threat. I always loved his speckled socks. He is the reason I have always been fond of wolves. R.i.p J-D
i have a border collie wolfdog. She was an accident by the breeder but i thinks she is amazing by far the smartest dog I've ever had.
thats an interesting mix - do you have a photo?
Anneka Svenska . yes mam but I can't figure out how to attach it on here
found the link to your Facebook. I sent you photo of Calypso on messenger
Chris Sweeney I woukd love to see that mix also because I have wondered about that mix or a sheltie wolf mix
daryl st.p i don't know how to post pics here
We have a Small Wolfdog mixed with a husky. We got him at 8 months being told he was pure Husky from it's owners. He was extremely difficult to train and had large abandonment issues that are still with him at 6. Luckily we have an 8 year old German Shepard that was the perfect positive role model he needed. Our wolf mix took one year of 4 basic training sessions, 5 mile runs before training or it was pointless. Best piece of advice is let them use their energy and keep them socialized always. Our doesn't trust many and takes a while to warm up, once he does he is the sweetest most loving dog. Still unpredictable and we will never leave alone with our daughter like we can with our Shepard. But truly a one of a kind dog, and you need to be dedicated and experienced to own. Our poor guy had three previous owners that gave up on him due to his intelligence and idependance causing it difficult to train him.
7:04 Me: "Are you sure that's not a sheep?"
😂😂😂😂😂
"and then he actually killed someone"
"As you can see i have had experience with this dog" (60 seconds later) "yeah he actually murdered my other dog"
Thank you for your video. I work at a wolf sanctuary and we don't condone the breeding of volfdgos. Too many of them end up in rescue and euthanized. My rescue is 50 arctic wolf/50 Belgian Malinois. Took him to the dog park for 3 years, then he started going after other dogs. Today, he's 11 and I can't have him around any other dogs or people. But we love each other!
Sue Stefanelli that is a poorly socialized wolfdog then.
es simple, es android... maybe, but it could also be down to its genes through maturity.
Sue Stefanelli it is extremely unlikely that he is straight 50/50. it is even more unlikely that one of the parents would be a pure wolf like you are implying.
Mine is the same way. As a pup he grew around other dogs we already had. When he was about 2 years old he attacked our Dobermann and increasingly became aggressive toward our little Jack Russell mix. The only one he adored was our Dogo Argentino. She was his mother figure and bonded with her. They were inseparable. She died last November of renal failure. :( He cannot be bothered with any other dogs. He just likes to be left alone. He is the same way with people, except for us, he does not like outsiders.
es simple , es android if it was fine with other dogs for three years before becoming aggressive, the problem is obviously not caused by a lack of socialization. Rather three years of age is the time when they are finally fully mature mentally and become confident enough to not put up with being forced into social situations.
Love the information in this. Very thorough and all points.
*Love your channel and videos* !. *Thank you so much for uploading them ma'am* !. *Blessings too you always and to all of you too that see this* ! *Sincerely Paul~* !.
Very Informative and nicely presented video. Thank You, Anneka!
Our family had a short blonde German Shepherd named Fletcher for about 15-16 years. He was neutered when he was young, so he wasn't the most playful dog. He mostly laid down in the house and enjoyed a good pet. Even so he was a really good dog. I can agree with the protective bit, we have coyotes where we live, and they were scared of him. He may have been shorter than a typical Shepherd, but he was still bigger than them. He also barked at anyone that came over, even if they had been over before. Luckily he'd go back to being calm after a few minutes or so and just enjoy being pet. He really sweet dog and I miss him a lot.
I never thought I would get this much out of a GSD...
I have to get up at dawn, OK, but this girl has got my back!!!
She's only 70 pounds but she's all muscles and bone - and teeth...
Anneka. I can't believe it took me almost 4 years to discover this clip. Your dogs are beautiful :-)
I really enjoyed this video, less for the wolfdog aspect and more for just learning about the different breeds. It was fantastic!
As someone who worked with dogs for over 20 yrs and that includes some wolf dogs, this is one of the most accurate videos I have seen. You know your stuff! And also as someone who worked with some wolf dogs, some high wolf content others low. As the person outside of their "pack" I found the high content wolf dogs to be very reluctant or even shy. I knew one male that was very dominant and he would "present" himself to be petted, but I had to be cautious the entire time and make sure I did nothing to offend his position. The other extreme was the most high content wolf dog I ever knew. Looked 100% wolf, but was part dog. VERY shy, took me a long time to gain his trust where he would approach me. The others I dealt with were usually Malamute x wolf, low wolf content. You are spot on about Malamute temperaments. Love the breed, but they are not for everyone. Really enjoyed your video, so well done. Only thing you didn't cover was their destructive nature. Eating your favorite furniture, etc. lol
Hi, thankyou for your lovely comments. You are right, some are very destructive BUT I guess I didnt mention it as I had mine trained from an early age onto nylobones and I havent had one part of my house touched or chewed, so many I am lucky. I think destruction comes from leaving solo dogs alone as they pine so much for people and break doors down and tear up couches so I would never recommend someone get one and then go to work all day. The other reason is elevating their status, as a friend of mine allowed her wolfdog onto the couch she owned and the dog eventually decided it belonged to her, she then started months of gradual eating of the couch and guarding it also.....they are fun as long as you are always the leader over them x
That's a very good point. And because I have no personal experience keeping a wolf dog I don't know such things. It makes a lot of sense though. Wolves were never meant to be separated from their pack so I can imagine their separation anxiety far surpasses the average dog. Also the claiming of the couch also makes sense. I see they really are a lot of work and need solid stable leadership. They are so beautiful and I always wanted one. After I worked with a few I realized it would be much more work and full time commitment than a dog, so I decided against it. Especially because I worked so much and it was with other dogs. My dogs I could bring to work, but bringing wolf dogs would have been harder I think. I do love them and will just admire them from afar. Plus at my age now, I'm much too lazy for any of those type breeds. haha
10:00 I like how he patiently stands there while she delivers the show
My pure breed German shepherd is awsome, she's my best friend, and we have a perfect pack, including group howls, I'd never get another breed
I believe it. I had one that just passed on Saturday. He was amazing and at least one of the dogs i have at a time will always be a German Shepherd from now on.
@@RobDaKid87 I'm so sorry for your loss, and understand what your family is feeling. We lost our GSD in Feb at 13. They're very kind souls, aren't they? And once they understand what you want of them, they devote themselves to doing it. In our case, it was to be just a friendly polite guy we could take anywhere. Amazing breed.
Robert Haskell sorry for your loss, I know your pain and eventually I'll be there again as my girl is 9
Do they did alot of space?I live in the city am thinking of getting one
@@kingbullinc7936 Dear gawd, I f***9ng hope you are just trolling.
I have a 5 year old German Shepard lab mix named Buddy. He is kind, Loyal and, obeys commands. He sometimes acts like a big puppy who wants to lay in your lap and be petted. He is very sweet, adorable and follows my Mom around the house to be protective. We got him from the humane society a little over a year ago.
You left out the Samoyed, the gentlest of all these dogs!
I just didnt have time to do it in this blog, but I will do another one. x
Thank you so much for the reply, looking forward to your next video. I mentioned Samoyed because that is the breed I have.
Not that gentle. They are a tough breed too, much like Malamutes. A Samoyed saved my life when I was 6 yrs old and 2 German Shepherds in my neighborhood were loose and tried to attack me. That Samoyed came barreling out and jumped both dogs. Sent the male GSD fleeing right back over his own fence and then turned on the female (who didn't really fight) and she followed the male up over the fence and back in the yard. This was at my school bus stop and early in the morning I was the only person out there. No one heard me screaming when they came after me. Just that dog (who I grew up around and was friends with). God bless Samoyeds! Sweet and tough!
I have two samoyeds :D I wouldn't have any other dog
IKR?
11:30 those puppy eyes and face so adorable my heart, such a beautiful male german shepherd. 🥺😍❤️👼🏻
Loved your video, I have a German Sheperd/Lab mix now and love this dog as she also loves us. I plan to get a German Sheperd in the next year and after seeing this I am definitely wanting to get a wolfdog in a couple years after having more experience.
Breeding two f1 will produce something even more unpredictable than 50/50 split. You can actually get a pure wolf fom f1 crosses and a full dog out of that f1 as well.
Correct. Nature is a trip
First accurate comment so far for this vid. Cheers.
I assume she meant breeding a f1 with another dog as to dilute the DNA more
If you try to tame a wolf, you get a dog. Why not just get a dog that looks like a wolf??
Carolyn Siegenthaler no don't just "get a husky". Listen to the video. They're not for everyone. You need to have experience with dogs and you need to live where it's a bit colder. And a husky by itself in a place that isn't fortified is a bad idea.
Just get a German Shepard. I think they look great. =)
Except the sloping hips. They've been ruined.
just get a working german shepherd they have normal hips, a bit more work though
Just look into working German Shepherd bloodlines and there are no sloping hips. Sloping hips are typically AKC show lines and are garbage health wise.
I have a parrot, my neighbor has a german shepherd who is scared of my parrot.
Haha! Animals are wonderful. Thank you for sharing Keita Marislo.
Kind of the same story for me my grandpa had a parrot who was like 10 years old and he also had a giant labrador who was abobsluet terrified of the parrot and whould let the parrot do what ever he wanted.
🤣🤣🤣
I grew up with my dad's first generation wolf-german shepherd hybrid. He was so beautiful and smart, a bit overprotective at times, though. Looked far more wolf than shepherd, since he was absolutely massive and definitely had more wolfy coloration. He tended to escape the backyard a lot, but never to run away. It was usually do he could be waiting in the driveway when we got home. That or so he could go play with the two St Bernards our neighbor had. My dad did claim that he was part Husky, so that might be why. Sadly, he died when my dad was moving, brought him to the new house, and he ran into the street looking for my grandparents' chow mix puppy Kodiak (Cody) since they had been our other neighbors for several years. I still miss my buddy, Grey. He was such a good boy.
Respect your honesty and the sharing of your experiences with wolf dogs.
thankyou
Love how the doggo kept licking her.
Great video! Thank you for sharing all your experience!
best info ever. and totally agree about shep mix WD, and Ive NEVER heard of negative issues with GSD mix including very high content WD GSD wolf.
had a pet cat once but never a canine until moving to Arizona on 120 acres we owned . a very distant neighbor had brought two timber wolves to breed. the two came through our property and the female stayed for several years with us refusing to return to the owner. omg what a highly intelligent animal. she absolutely could read my mind. I am a wolf lover forever.😂😂😂😂😂
A couple other major differences not mentioned I noticed , from owning my own mixed malamute, timbershepered(wolf), and aquita mix is that there dander is next to nothing... And they do not smell like dog smell . They also heal from wounds faster and seemed to be so much more healthier as well!! 💜 My Charlie lived to be 17 . :)
Amazing explanation. Thanks to share this beautiful video!
My dad trained sled dogs for years and eventually adopted a wolf dog Ben who was quarter wolf, quarter husky, half black lab. He was very well trained and was HUGE, he never growled, snarled, barked and was very good with little children and cats.
My sister got her Malamute from a breeder. Her Malamute doesn't tear up the house when they're gone, sleeps a LOT and can be kept in small spaces and just chills eveer since she was a puppy. She doesn't howl, you have to try REALLY hard to get her to make a noise and she's responsive with a firm hand and trainable. Apparently she's a very non-malamute malamute.
Thank you for doing this video. I own a couple Wolfdogs. And they ARE VERY difficult. But I could not imagine my life without them. But they are very distrustful and destructive.
Love your vids, please keep up the good work 😀
I have always wanted a Tamaskan. I am doing lots of research and I hope to get one in the future. This video has been very useful 😁
My two cents: I bred and raised wolves, pure and mixes, for ten years and stopped because I found most people are not responsible enough to raised children, much less a wild animal that can over time be socialized. Wolves are wonderful creatures, but it takes a very special situation for them to be in a human pack. The US Army bred German Shepherd/Wolf crosses during WWII and quickly axed the program because they found the dog half made the animals way too aggressive to be police dogs. A pure wolf is a much better companion (NOT A PET) than any dog/wolf mix. Most genetic crosses make for psycho animals.
F1 - stands for first felial generation. It’s the 50:50 cross. Wolf mom & GSD dad or reverse. Substitute other dog breeds for GSD. The next cross can be a dilution or a test cross. Less wolf or more wolf. Either way it is still called an F-2 (second filial generation). And it is still a Wolf hybrid. Then there’s another type of F-2 cross called a hybrid x hybrid cross. That gives you a very unpredictable litter. Genetically and statistically it yields a 1:2:1 relationship on most Mendelian genes but the genetics are generally speaking; unknown. Guessing based on phenotype (how the animal looks) is problematic at best, as explained and in cases of dominance (like coat color) there’s no way to know what the genes are unless you do a test cross. Test crosses are considered unethical now days because of the reliance on culling. The sacrificing of unwanted puppies, usually at birth or closely after.
You did a great job, it was very helpful thank you so much ♡
I do own a Shepsky, I just bred him with my black female German Shepard, have 9 wonderful pups. Going to the vet this next week, for a vet ✔️, de-worming, and 1st shots. After their second shots they'll be ready for their forever homes. June 1st They'll be 11 weeks, . I'm excited, they should be really good dogs. Love the video. HAGD
I understand what you are saying and agree. I was young at that time and it was quite high maintenance (!). Your point is well taken.
That’s the 1st time I’ve heard the explanation of why Huskies don’t always do what you tell them 🙄 I also love it when people say Huskies don’t bark...both of mine do.
I had a siberian husky but she based away from a musle disease she loved all dogs and she won't bark and she was truly the best dog in the world r.i.p skye
I have.owned a Siberian husky mix for over 14 years she defo was Houdini up to 6 years old but she was an amazing dog who I learnt a lot from training etc. X
A very good assessment of Mallys great advice
I had the best male shepherd (rip). His howl was awesome.
Thank you Anneka, you are the best..
Absolutely beautiful! I love her markings. I love wolfs. I don't think I could handle one.
Just like my Alaska malamute, he doesn't care about pleasing me but he is very friendly toward human and dog, and he goes everywhere I go including the bathroom
I enjoy your channel very much and think you do a wonderful job educating and entertaining your audience. I do wonder why, with all of the different breeds that man has already created, people still feel a need to mix dogs with wolves, coyotes, etc.. Soooo many times it ends badly. It usually ends badly for the animal but sometimes humans are injured severely. There are dogs out there to satisfy just about every need imaginable. These wolf crosses seem to be made just to satisfy those people that want to have something different than everyone else.
Yes, there are always people writing on CZcams about their great dog and how it was excellent and perfect and the best and smartest dog they have ever owned, etc., etc.. While some of these stories are true, many are not and on top of that we aren't hearing much from the overwhelmingly amount of poor experiences that people and families have had with these animals. I just think, in general, people should be discouraged from ever owning these animals. There are far too many breeds that already exist that can do whatever people may need. The amount of suffering for the majority of these animals just doesn't seem to be fair compared to so few people that actually get an animal that meets their needs and works out in the long run. People should get a Husky or a Malamute or a GSD, or whatever else is out there. Why have an animal that you have to fear will run away from your home?? That isn't so much a pet as it is a prisoner.
Our husky wolf passed after 16 years. The bound she made with us was incredible. She never liked to leave our side. She was very protective of us and did not like other female dogs. She didn't mind male dogs so much as long as they stayed away from her "pups" (aka our boys). We learned quick to trust her instincts with people too. We miss he very much and will definitely be getting another. Probably a pair both male or female. Not for breeding purposes but for fur babies.
This is a GREAT video so informative
I have a Husky and a Malamute...I spend lots of time with these dogs so I know them well.
I owned an F1 Wolf German Shepherd! Amazingly Beautiful animals Extremely difficult to handle! King was Magnificent to say the least! He was huge in size with a heart of gold! He could not be kept in the house he would have no part of it. He refused his dog house and made my old sofa his den entrance,. He loved to play with porcupines some thing awful! I have pulled Quills from his muzzle many times! He was the most amazing guard dog no one ever came up on my porch they were scared senseless of him. On his hind legs he cleared 7ft easily. Massive massive boy he was. I could not keep him as he was just always breaking his chain and I was afraid he would eat the boy down the road! The boy would get off the buss and shake a stick at King and try to hit him with it. King was extremely intelligent and I knew he would not forget the boys treatment towards him. In my state if they know he has wolf in him they will put him down and ask questions later! I could not let that happen to king he was such a sweet boy. I sent him to a home ware he could be free with out worry they would kill him. I miss him a lot as he was my big baby! I would love another some day and it would most defiantly be a F1 Wolf German Shepherd!
amazing story x
Don't! When you get a dog like that it is a comitment for its life. You have to be ready to make sacrifices for them. Your actions are exactly the reason why these breeds get euthanized. You had a hyper intelligent, pack oriented animal and essentialy as the "alpha" ran it out of its pack "in his mind for no reason". Perhaps in this case the dog was fine. But he remebers you aswell and is hurt. Hybrids are a comitment! You have to be ready to move if stuff like that happens and have to be able to spend all the dogs life with it "I mean all day every day." because they can be dangerous.
Hi, Anneka. I'm your new subscriber. I love your channel, because of this video. My Mom used to be have a mix breed between German Shepherd and Old English Sheepdog. That dog is missing, when she was a little girl. I wish I could find a breeder with that mixed breed or even better, adopt one. But the thing is...I'm a Muslim and my recent neighborhood hates dogs. So, it's really hard to pet a dog. Especially, if it's a wolf dog. Though Muslims mostly love cats, but I and some Muslims love dogs. After watching your videos, I felt happy. Especially, when I watched Kumi. But still,...I wish I had a dog again after my dog died two years ago.
Great Videos . Thanks for posting them. We have two wolf x sisters. Mom was Timberwolf and Lab and dad was 3/4 arctic grey wolf and husky. Tikka is 7.5 and Suna is 6.5 and they are great animals but definitely showed food aggression and nervousness with strange things as young animals . Suna was a rescue from owners that could not handle her at about a year and a half old. They are from the same parents 1 litter apart.
Your passion is amazing
