Completed my Wolf Quest Six Fanarts challenge! I couldn't do every single character suggested but maybe I'll do a part two sometime in the future! Sadly nobody suggested Nava :( /lh

ID below the cut

[ID: A digitally drawn six fanarts challenge of various characters from the movie Balto 2: Wolf Quest. Each of these is a bust drawing. The first is of Nuk, a gray-and-purple-brown wolf with a large chin, a snaggletooth, and yellow eyes. His expression is neutral. The second is Boris, a white snow goose with an orange beak and blue bags below his eyes. He has a smiling expression. The third is Saba, a chubby wolfdog who is smiling and looking at the audience. She has a red coat with a cream face and chest. Her eyes are blue. The fourth character is a nameless dark brown she-wolf with slightly lighter markings around her eyes and on her muzzle and chest. She is in a howling pose with her eyes closed. The fifth is Niju, a front-facing dark red wolf with a silver muzzle and chest. He has distinct dark patches around his eyes, long whiskers, a large chin, a snaggletooth, and blue eyes. The last character is Aleu, a light tan wolfdog with slightly lighter markings on her muzzle and chest. She is looking over her shoulder with a cheerful expression and she has blue eyes with long lashes. End ID.]

do you have any posts you can link me on purposefully breeding of wolfdogs? I'm.... skeptical of that being a good idea and I'm just wondering how correct I am in that instinct and then any more information about it out of curiosities sake would just be interesting to read

This post is of purposely bred poodle and wolf crosses for a scientific study. Besides that I’ve got a couple posts around here that should generally be in the wolfdog tag.

With wolfdogs being bred in general it’s mainly super sketchy. If the animal actually is a wolfdog (which most of the time it’s not, just some husky mix or something along those lines) that it more than likely came from some backyard breeder. My main issue with it is that the vast majority of people that get wolfdogs don’t know what they’re getting into, often resulting in issues with the animals behavior or them being too intense for the owners to handle. This could result in them being surrendered or euthanized, in fact, roughly 200,00 wolfdogs are euthanized per year, and most of them are put down under the age of two!

I think what I’m trying to say is I’m mainly against breeding wolfdogs because I don’t think all the ones put down justify the few that are actually put into good homes. I guess you could say something similar with most dogs, but the difference is those are dogs who’ve had decades of breeding and information on them, whereas wolfdogs don’t even have a rabies vaccine.

Anyway I’m rambling. Definitely don’t take my word for everything and look into things yourself! Sorry I don’t have enough info for you, but I think the International Wolf Center has some info on wolfdogs that could be worth checking out. Are there good wolfdog breeders? Perhaps. But I have yet to see any.

#imo there’s really no point #I don’t doubt that there’s people who want to do something positive for wolfdogs #I just don’t see why? #wolfdog #wolfdogs #wolfdogs do have some health testing but I don’t know how in depth it is

Crazy to me how they showed wolfdogs dinner date out of nowhere and expected me not to go crazy over it

Nashoba, an F1 75% wolf, 25% Norwegian Elkhound cross. He was from Casa Lobo, and was the result of a cross between an F1 50% Alaskan Interior Wolf/AKC Norwegian Elkhound mix sire produced by Gabe Davidson of the Davidson Fur Farm, and an Eastern Timber Wolf dam. He is behind some modern wolfdog lines today, including the widespread Southern Breeze line.

This is Strider! He’s a “wolf ambassador” from the nonprofit organization Apex Protection Project’s sanctuary in Acton, CA. He was rushed to the emergency room yesterday and is currently undergoing a plasma transfusion to stabilize him before he goes to another hospital for overnight care. Apex needs to raise $10,000 (a cost that is steadily rising!) to cover his medical needs.

Strider first came to Apex with a broken skull when his owner tried to kill him. He’s a beautiful and incredible example of perseverance and survival and a reminder of all that apex predators—and biodiversity in general—do for our planet! It’s up to us to help them! Please donate to Apex Protection Project on their website or their Instagram and help save Strider!

hi there! I've been seeing a lot of stuff on wolf-dogs lately. I've never heard of them, I dont know much about them. Do you think they're like? Okay? Is this an okay thing to be doing, breeding wolves and dogs for a big pet dog???

Wolfdogs exist for a variety of reasons, in a variety of ways, so I'm going to try and break things down as best I can. Luckily for you, it's a special interest of mine!

Wolfdogs come in three "categories": high content, mid content, and low content. This indicates how much wolf is in them, based on their behavior, appearance, and how much wolf was in their parents. High content wolfdogs look like wolves, whereas low content wolfdogs look more like dogs with wolfy traits. These descriptions are pretty basic, because the ratio of wolf-to-dog in any given crossbreed canid can vary wildly. Here is a good, basic article on wolfdogs.

To answer your question, breeding wolfdogs is not okay. They are a result of human manipulation more often than not, and often embody the worst traits in both wolves and dogs, leading to a destructive and wild animal who isn't afraid of humans. According to W.O.L.F. Sanctuary, up to 95% of "pet" wolves and wolfdogs are put down before the age of 2. The basic truth is that humans are not equipped to handle wolves, nor wolfdogs; they are wild animals, and are very, very much not like our domesticated pet dogs. The people who successfully own these animals run their homes more like sanctuaries, have experience in the field of wild dog handling, and know that at any moment something can go wrong. These animals deserve to live their lives, and it's good that rescuers are out there, but intentionally breeding a wolfdog is unethical.

In addition to behavioral problems and the general trials of being an owner to such an animal, wolfdogs--and, as an extension, pet wolves--have not had a rabies vaccine approved for them. If your wolfdog bites somebody, and it gets reported, they will be put down. In fact, somebody can simply claim your pet bit them and get them put down; look no further than the story of Vader the domestic fox.

There are some breeds of dog bred to look remarkably like wolves, but this is also ill-advised; a purebred dog who looks like a wolf is at risk of being killed by someone who sees them and doesn't know them personally. There exist horror stories of dogs that don't even look like wolves, such as huskies and malamutes, being shot by hunters because they thought the dog was a wolf. Here is a story of a dog who survived. Not all of them are so lucky.

I'm confused about the rabies vaccine re: wolfdogs. I've work in the veterinary field for nearly a decade, and while I no longer work with dogs at all, when I did (in a wolfdog legal state), we absolutely vaccinated wolfdogs. I've only seen three genuine (at least obviously genuine) wolfdogs. The most memorable was a very high content that the owner only ever referred to as a "mixed breed dog" on any forms.

My understanding of the rabies vaccine is that it possibly may not legally be considered vaccinated, putting the animal at risk if it every bites someone out another dog. You'd risk euthanasia in order to test for rabies. But that's for animal control to decide, not us.

But we do absolutely vaccinated them. For rabies, DHPP, lepto, lyme, anything that we recommend for dogs. They aren't actually special when they come to a vet clinic. Our one high content "mixed breed dog" was quiet and reserved, but relaxed. Not all of them will be well behaved at the vet, of course, but not all dogs are either. We see plenty of pure dogs that need to be muzzled or sedated for exams, so dealing with the hybrid aspect doesn't actually add anything.

I’ve been told that there wasn’t a vaccine for them readily available that you could like, go in and get like a usual vaccine, but I’ve also heard people say that they’ve definitely had them vaccinated. I’ve also read that even if it was given it still wasn’t thought to be effective by the CDC and the AVMA. I think there was something about how if a wolfdog gets the vaccine and bites someone, people still need to treat it as if it wasn’t vaccinated, but I have yet to check that source. Like, there’s a vaccine, yes, but it’s not really approved or something like that.

I’m in a veterinary program so I’d be happy to ask the people leading the whole thing for clarification, as all this rabies talk has me second guessing myself.
