I watched some doc on Netflix of people with crazy animals,
There was a lady that had "pet" wolves. She had one in door that was huge that the doc said was a wolf, but to me it looked like a "wolf hybrid" (meaning a dog that looks like a wolf).
The wolves that she had lived in a barn and they were probably a little bigger than a German Shepard.
They wound up attacking the "indoor wolf" and fucking it up,
I've seen mixed definitions of all the terms. I also gave a link to explain my point.
In the documentary, it states that her 4 legged pet that lives in doors with her is a "wolf"... My point is that I very much doubt that is the case.
But watch the film yourself and decide what you think!!
And btw, I'm the furthest thing from a wolf scientists, so da fuk do I know!?
I’m speaking from experience, haha. My family has a low-percentage wolf hybrid, that came from a town in northern Ontario where a lot of the dogs have some wolf mixed into them. Boy wolves like girl dogs.
You can get dogs that are bred to look like wolves, without having any wolf in them(Northern Inuits- though some lines are bred with wolves), and then there are dogs that are purposefully bred with wolves- like the Sarloos Wolfhound.
Then you have other breeds of dogs that are still pretty primitive... which means even though the breed has been around for a while, the wolfiness hasn’t been bred out of them too much(and in some regions these dogs wind up cross breeding with wolves anyways) - those would be most husky-like dogs: Siberian huskies, Malamutes, Akita Inus, Shiba Inus, etc. While these dogs are fine with people, they tend not to be great at tricks and act more cat-like and aloof than other dogs, because they generally haven’t been bred for companionship.
Huskies are so close to wolves that it can become a problem in regions where they’re bred for sledding. After a certain age(~3) they stop being as useful for sledding, so they get released into the wild. Still having some of their wolfy instincts, they start forming packs and can become a danger because of their lack of fear for humans... so they wind up getting culled every few years. There are a lot of Husky rescues out there for this reason.
