Wolf hybrids are not legal here in RI, either. I can't remember which state, but the Governor's son lives in a state where you can own them. He has 3, and brought them with, when he came to visit his folks. And promptly was "caught" by the media, so had to cut his visit short and return home with them.

As for wolves, I do find them fascinating, and I enjoy learning about them, and watching documentaries on them. There have been several studies of wolves which have helped people understand why our dogs do some of the things they do.

One study kept some wolves in captivity, with constant human contact. Have you ever noticed that wild canines (wolves, coyotes, etc.) have little and no white markings? Within 11 generations, the puppies where showing up almost half white. Fascinating!
