oo I love wold hybrids! I met someone who had 2 femlae wolf hybreds, he kept then outside but by the choice of the dogs not him. very freindly girls they were! well socialized, well cared for etc.. when one was sick he made her stay inside until she was better but she hated it, all she wanted was to be back outside. I was so glad to meet somene with wolf hybrids who cared about the, someone who had outdoor dogs ny the dogs choice, well socialized, it was great to see after always hearing the wold hybrids are horrable etc..

She gets them from a breeder about 2 hours away from us.
The breeder keeps in contact with EVERY wolfdog she adopts out. She knows what % wolf they all are, she breeds then carefuly, and she makes sure before anyone takes one, that they have has some experience with wolfdogs. Makes sure they all have safe fencing and all that stuff! So even though she does breed them, she is a responsible breeder!

I have always felt confused about wolfdogs. I have always loved wolves, but believed they belonged in the wild, that's where we all enjoy there beauty. But then when I got to play with them for the first time, I cried because I was actualy touching a wolf!!
I couldn't believe it! A real wolf I was petting and playing with!
It was such an emotional experience I just was overcome with emotions!!!!!

there is a breeder for wolfdogs?? ...

Unfortunately, there are lots of them! Wolfdogs are illegal in many places as they are classified as wild animals, high content wolf-hybrids in particular. There's a huge movement among malamute and husky breeders (and others) to ban the breeding of wolf dogs.

I do own a wolf hybrid. Kayleigh is a low content hybrid. I didn't know that when I adopted her. I got her from a shelter, not a breeder. I love Kayleigh to bits and I wouldn't get rid of her for anything but NEVER again will I own a wolf-dog. Kayleigh is unpredictable--never know when the wolf part of her brain will kick in, she is same sex aggressive, her prey drive is uncontrollable, she is almost impossible to confine. She is so (^#)&^&()$ smart that she can open the clasp on her chain, she can climb fences! But she's also affectionate, protective and a heck of puller in the sled team!
