Wolfdogs are not only bred deliberately, but also by "accident" and sometimes for a real purpose, such as training for movies etc. And not only with wolfs (wolfdogs), also with coyotes (coydogs) and dingo's.

Ah! ok

Those hooks can break... So maybe it got stuck somewhere when she was running and it broke? You have different strengths in those things, depending on the material used to fabricate them.

YAY!!!! Now...where is that smiling and dancing smiley icon when you need it? Really happy you've got her back safe! Over a week gone... think I would have gone out of my mind!

*keeps fingers crossed*

Was hoping to see a reply that she was found... Keep my fingers crossed!

So frustrating... But don't worry! Just reduce his diet, and you can easily take 30% of his food. And he will loose it in no-time! Normal exercise and less food... Normally does it! Positive side with dogs is that you can loose their weight very fast without problems. With cats you have to reduce very slowely.

Think a lot of people know what you are going thru right now... She's gone a long time know. Keep my fingers crossed for you!

In the same line: Who was the problem? The owner who had no idea how to raise a wolfdog, or the dog?... Just a thought You can find more then plenty of the same video's of more or less the same issues with normal domesticated dog breeds. And in 99% of the cases because the owner didnt know how to handle the dog. So who is at fault? The dog or the owner?

Luckily he's safe

I think there are still a lot of misunderstandings about owning wolfdogs. I have 5 of them here, all containing wild blood in more or less ( to almost none) percentage and also from different origins. They are NOT aggressive or dangerous, but YES They need a complete different approach than a "normal" dog. And NO, I will never recommend them to just anyone The reason I own them? Not to brag about owning them, can tell you that When we had the first one, we didnt know that she had wild blood in her. The breeder did not tell us... We found out ourselves that she was "different" and started looking around and found a friend of the breeder who told us what she (our dog) was. We had absolutely no problems with her but fell in love with the way she approached the world. When we heard hat we could get an other female 2 years later, we didn't doubt a second! This one turned out to be more than a handful but she was the sweetest thing for us. Really shy towards other people, but if she gets to know them, she is the sweetest thing ever! Only thing: This takes about a year to get to that point And the 3rd one is a cousin from the 1st and 2nd one and gives a big challenge . Number 4 and 5 are more "just" dogs. For me the main reason of owning them? They are addictive... *ashamed* I think the main thing is that you don't treat them as a common dog. You'll have to adapt to their ways instead to the other way around. And you can accomplish a lot if you just take it easy and accept their character. As far as tamaskans go: Yes, they are great dogs with great personality's. But the "no-wolf" part is a hoax

Oh! how cute! A friend of mine has a couple as well... You have to keep everything save from them

About an hour and a half to the North. Near Apeldoorn.

They don't get baths unless they have been playing with a dead fish or something. I just clean them up with a towel and let them dry. The sand will fall out itself and otherwise I will brush them a bit.

5 wolfdogs and a malamute/husky mix:)
