Personally, I'm not too fond of wolf hybrids or keeping wolves as pets. If you want a dog, get a Labrador or something. I'm not saying wolves are bad. They are BEAUTIFUL creatures. I just think that it's better for them to just stay wild. I'm glad that your wolfdog seems to be doing so great in your home though... but I still think that a wolf would be happier living as a wolf in his real wolf pack, where he belongs, in the wild... That's just my opinion.
Maybe I'm just part of the "uneducated public"..

I am against the hunting of any wild animal though, whether it be wolf, deer, pheasant, duck, etc...
wolfdogs can not survive in the wild. they are not the same as a wolf, nor do they have the same survivability traits. you are mixing apples and oranges. wolfdogs dont belong in the wild, wolves do. wolfdogs dont fear humans, wolves do. wolfdogs will come on someones property and go thru the trash or look for a hand out. wolves wont. and yes, you are part of the uneducated pubic on this subject, but thats not your fault, nor is it a bad thing, with learning of the wolfdog and its true personality you would be pleasantly surprised at the animal. most of the wolfdog problems come from the people that raise them, not the animal itself. a wolfdogs "pack" is the family it lives with, like mine, ...me, my wife, and our two golden retrievers... she would not be happy living in containment with her real family, nor would her life be as good as it is with us. a wolf.....yes... its much happier in thier fur faimlies, and i personaly dont approve of people who keep pure wolves as pets, and there are those that do..... its wrong.

there are many animals that are kept as pets that are controversial, for instance, the bengal tiger... its a part of many many households in the U.S. so are Panthers, constrictor snakes, coyotes, foxes, bears, ......the list is endless.

the wolf and the dog are the same speicies. there is no such thing as a wolfhybrid. a "hybrid" is the cross between two species....... like a wolf and a coyote...
