You can't domesticate a wolf. Even if you get it to follow some simple commands, it'll lose interest before learning anything more complex, they're stubborn as hell, and there's no way you can command one off a target if it sees a hare or something.[/QUOTE]
Hell, wolf hybrids are incredibly hard to train. A wolf's psyche is almost nothing like a dog's. Dog's work on loose hierarchy and leadership. Wolf packs have very rigid hierarchy which means that every single person in the family must be superior to the wolf as far as dominance goes.
[QUOTE=SweetSwifter;35409332]Adorable wolves. I'd want one, if it wasn't for their wild nature. No matter how much you can 'domesticate' them, I'd always be worried, but that's just me.[/QUOTE]
The only thing that would scare me is them attacking some else as once the become close to you I doubt they would ever turn on you.

Yeah I think owning a wolfdog hybrid uld be cool as hell if it wasn't for the fact that you basically need tons of open space for them to run/live around in, you'll have to prove your dominance to them, it will take years to train them to do anythi (not because they are dumb but because they are much more independant), etc.
A wolf is very pack-like and the same thing is true for wolf dogs, but unlike normal dogs they see you as an equal/non-superior rather than a superior. I'm pretty sure I've heard stories of people owning wolfdogs having to deal with being "attacked" or trying to be out-dominated, and then the people would have to "come up on top" to earn the respect of the wolf dog :v: shit like that.
