1. Wow!

What a beautiful animal!! He/She's HUGE!!! or the lady is really tiny.

2. Look at the size of those paws!

We were going to get a wolfdog but after doing a lot of research decided on a German stock, GSD instead.

Just getting to be too old to handle such a big, active animal like a wolfdog - the shepherd is enough of a handful!

3. Back in the 80s I had a wolf-malamute mix

The mother was pure arctic wolf (all white) and the father was a timber wolf-malamute mix. He was big and beautiful. My girlfriend at the time wanted to get one and I went along.

In hindsight I do not recommend them unless you have a lot of space and/or excellent fencing. By excellent fencing I mean six feet high chain link with diagonal barbed wire on top (they climb) with 2 -4 feet of fencing buried underground with cinder block on top (they dig).

They can't ever be trusted with children. That little unstable gait of toddlers/children triggers something that no operant training can contain.

As long as you retain alpha status with them, they ... (eta) they are kind and affectionate to their owners.

Beautiful dog, but I wouldn't want to piss him off.

12. Where I live, owning a wolf-dog hybrid is illegal

13. I hope she has her bluff in on him but good

No way would I trust a dog/wolf of that size with my loved one. Maybe that's just me
