Yes, Wolf Q! My girls are senior citizens (13 & 14 yrs. old) and I have had them since they were pups.

They are fairly typical to the breed; magnificent to look at but quite independent, difficult to train, and not easy to confine since they harbor such a strong wandering spirit. Shasta & Sadie respect their invisible fencing only because they are arthritic now and it must be too uncomfortable for them to even fathom roaming beyond the immediate back yard. About 9 years ago Shasta (blk/wht) did make a temporarily successful run through the "fence" . . . and she didn't look back, that's for sure!

We had to consult a vet behavior specialist because the girls were fighting for Alpha status. I recall the vet mentioning that the Siberian is in exremely close relation to the wolf, which would explain their apathy toward humans. In fact, she indicated that Shasta could quite possibly survive on her own in the wild, due to her intense instincts . . . she has been known to stalk and swallow birds whole. I would never trust her around strangers because she has bitten people in the past, including us!!!

Sadie, on the other hand, has somewhat more of the usual "dog" attributes, seeking out human companionship and affection now and again. And she has never so much as snipped at any person . . . just Shasta, when they go at it tooth&nail!!!

Well, thanks for asking about my dogs, and I do apologize to the thread starter for going off-topic . . . sorry
