Souraya, I really don't think you are in denial, I think you love your pup and in the long run you know better than anyone else how he will react. He sounds like he is much better socialized than Perry is, that was our big mistake, we are homebodies and he never was exposed to other people very much. I think we all understand our dogs pretty well, after all we live with them. You do whatever you think is the best for all of you. We always had dogs who were pretty much layed back so these Schnauzers were a challenge. The other dogs we had were a Bassett, Spaniel, and Doxies, so you can see the difference. Your dog is so beautiful, I had never seen a wolf mix before.
