Does it have to be a wolf/wolf dog?<br /> <br /> There's breeds that look quite wolf like, why not pick something like that?<br /> <br /> http://www.dogbreedworld.com/dogbreeds/wolflikebreeds.php<br /> <br /> Of course it's important to do a lot of research into any breed you wish to own, but these animals would be far easier to care for than a wolf/wolf dog.<br /> <br /> Editing to add: I've no problems with people owning such animals, as long as they can handle them. I know many people that own wolf dogs and care for them great. <br /> But the fact is, many people just can't give these animals the care they need. Hence the alternative of buying wolfy looking dogs.
<b>"I can't have a WOLF but I can have a WOLF DOG in Georgia." </b><br /> Nope. There was a link posted earlier in this thread that proved you couldn't.<br /> <br /> Wolves and Wolf hybrids of <i>any</i> content are 100% illegal:<br /> <br /> <i>"Possession of wolves and <b>wolf Hybrids</b> is prohibited in the state; they are defined as "Wild Animals." <br /> "Wild animal" means any animal which is not wildlife and is not normally a domestic species in this state. <b>This term specifically includes any hybrid or cross between any combination of a wild animal, wildlife, and a domestic animal.

I understand I am not ready and besides, I can't have a WOLF but I can have a WOLF DOG in Georgia. I don't even know where to get the license I need. And being at school from 7:35 A.M. to 3:30 P.M. doesn't give me enough time to excersie the sdog without skipping homeowrk. I even have to skip homework to play with my blind/deaf beagle and cripple golden retriever. With a hamster in the house, I doubt he'd survive 3 seconds without being killed by the wolf dog. Its hot 24/7 here and I think they need coldness sometime. My book of dog breeds doesn't help me at all. It just says when they were crossed and they are 100% sweet and it says nothbing about aggresion except they bneed a pack
As an owner of a mid-content wolfdog, I will say right now that with your current attitude towards them, you are NOT READY to own one.<br /> <br /> You must be 100% ready for something that is NOT A DOG. <br /> <br /> You have to be ready to treat the animal as if it weighs 150lbs from the very beginning. You can not let them get away with anything unless you are prepared to have it come back to bite you (figuratively speaking or not) later. <br /> <br /> My wolfdog requires 3-4 hours of exercise EVERY day, and requires constant supervision - if he doesn't have both of these things, he goes on destruction sprees.<br /> <br /> I would safely bet that you have never had a dog tear your kitchen completely apart - countertops, drawers, cupboards all in pieces on the floor - damages amounting to about $5,000 all in a matter of hours.<br /> <br /> Trust me, for the sake of you and the animal, you are not ready.
The fact that reading all four of these pages and you seem to not be getting it worries me. I don't want to sound so rude but you need to learn to listen. I'm glad that you are too young to own a wolf and I'm even more glad Georgia has laws making it 100% illegal. That right there just saved your life and that wolf's life. <br /> <br /> A wolf is <i>not</i> a dog in any form or way possible. They do not think or act like a dog. You can't just go to the pet store and buy dog food for it either. And how do I know this? I owned one.<br /> <br /> He was 97% wolf and 3% German Shepherd. He came into our home at 8 weeks old and he was fine until puberty where we had to position ourselves as a higher rank in his pack. He had to know. From that first time in the house he was being taught that my father and mother came first and then myself. Come maturity he tried to challenge my father but he again learned he is not alpha and will not be. <br /> <br /> Reading through all of this shows you don't understand about wolves and what they really are. That also means you wouldn't be able to handle one <i>because</i> you don't understand how different they are. Again not trying to be rude but I'm telling you the complete truth in this. Owning a dog will never ready you for a wolf. Go volunteer at a zoo and see first hand how different and undog-like they really are. Even so that still wouldn't entirely ready you. You need to be mentally and physically strong against them and be able to know how a pack works. Just knowing isn't enough either.<br /> <br /> I'm sorry but when you get older and can move out to wherever you want just don't get a wolf/hybrid. Your thinking on this subject and attitude towards it is going to get you and the wolf killed.
Humans did not evolve from monkeys, Humans and Apes share a common primate ancestor.
All I can say is.<br /> <br /> Go adopt a dog from a shelter and save a life. There are enough homeless dogs in this world, don't see why people think they HAVE to have a wolf or a wolf-hybrid.
That makes no sense, of course dogs descended from wolves. Humans descended from monkeys, but we aren't considered monkeys are we? No.
I left out that part that they dont need human love. The things i have to say wouldn't fit in 600 pages. It would fir around the world. If only you could read my mind, would you find everything I have to say
They're not the same species anymore because of human intervention. That doesn't mean that a human taking in a wolf is going to change that wolf into a dog. It's not going to happen. Not over one generation, not over ten. <br /> <br /> <b>Wolves do not need love or human companionship.</b> If they did, how would they have survived out in the wild completely undisturbed by people? How do they do it today?<br /> <br /> They're not domesticated animals. They do not want your love. They don't understand it.
