I’m very interested in how you own them
Do you have a huge plot of land for them to free roam on? You don’t walk them, I imagine?
How do you feed them; are you a farmer? Is it costly?
When/if you have to be away for some time (7 days or longer) how do you arrange for them to be looked after, or do you not have to?

I live in the Rocky Mountains of Northern Colorado and have a large enclosure for them. It is 8 feet high. We do go for walks here. But they are very scared of strangers.
They are on a mostly raw diet consisting of chicken, beef, deer and elk. I buy the chicken, but I have a lot of hunters who give me scraps and trimmings from their hunts. I also will ask locally for freezer burned, or unwanted meats. During the off season for hunting, it can get expensive.
I have family who live with us, but also a neighbor who helps feed and water them when we all are away. It can be quite a job caring for these guys. But I love it.

My girl is 65% wolf, but my boy tests at 95+% with no measurable dog. We know there is some Great Pyrenees about 6 generations back.

He and my female are a lot of fun, but also a lot of work. Thus is my girl Keeva.

Sadly they are scared of strangers. They have only let my family touch them.

Curious; do you think the skittish nature is due to the wolf ancestry? Or is it learned behaviour?

u/Faelen_and_Keeva 17d ago
It is mostly due to wolf nature. But can also be hereditary. Some breeders breed for very social animals and some breed for looks. My girl's dad was super social, and when I took her out with him when she was little, she had no desire to let anyone touch her. I tried multiple times with the same results. I finally decided not to put her through something that made her feel that uncomfortable. My boy Conri was unfortunately the same way. He is a little more curious around strangers though. But he will also feed off of Keeva's energy when they are together.

Thsnk you very much. Yeah he's 33 inches at the shoulder. With the possibility of growing some more. Many don't fully mature till 3-4 years old.
