How to train a Hybrid Wolf Dog (14 weeks old)
13 May 2010
Footage and information from personal experience on raising hybrid wolves. I might have some information of value to you if you’re planning on getting yourself a hybrid wolf-dog.
These are wondeful creatures but sadly they are usually purchased by some jerk breeder who confines these animals to very small kennels and treat these beautiful creatures like products of investments.
IMPORTANT: IF you’re interested in owning a wolfdog may I please suggest that you read this book? You can get it used for practically a few $’s and it’s just a great introduction on wolfdogs, how to raise them, train them, and of course, their behavior!

your videos are quite informative, great job!
Ive been a dog training working with high prey drive Dogs like shepherds, Belgium shephards, Rotties, and a a few crosses of Shephards and even a low content wolf hybrid for some years now.
Ive also fostered a few hybrids and there are some differences but the reality is that 90% of people who want Hybrids have no business getting them
They fail to realize that they require more time than most dogs do.

I never thought they eat vegetables. That would lower the cost of feeding them, at least in some countries. This video gave me a lot of value today, so thanks to the poster.

Where would I get a low-content wolfdog? I have a cat and two toddlers (little siblings) and I know for a fact I need the lowest content possible. Thing is… all breeders really breed high-contents…. So what would I do in that situation?

Great video. I just …
Great video. I just adopted a wolfdog, read Nicole Wilde’s books and did extensive research & volunteered at wolf sanctuary before doing so. It’s not a decision made lightly, they are a lot of work and take a lot of patience but so worth it if you’re willing to put forth the effort and have the right temperament and home for them!

Worldwide that isn’t true. Canada has around ~50,000 and Russia may have more than that.

thank you for the upload. This video was useful. I own a husky and akita inu and they are closely related to wolves and yeah they pretty much act like wolf-dog.

I don’t understand. …
I don’t understand… Why breed wolves and dogs to begin with? Wolves should be in the wild or in zoos breeding with their own species. I mean hello! They’re endangered! Breeding wolves with dogs does nothing to solve that problem. I think it should be illegal.

This is a very good video for those who want to own a hybrid. As a dog trainer, a wolf researcher and an animal behavior student I know that MOST people are not suited, nor suitably informed enough to own a hybrid but this was an informative video.
I don’t approve of the proactive breeding or seeking of hybrid wolfdogs–we have domesticated dogs, and we have wolves. The interbreeding combines characteristics that CAN, in fact, create unpredictability but not always. PLEASE consider carefully!

Hi thank’s for the …
Hi thank’s for the vid.
I just wanted to add a comment about Saarloos, They are actually GS/wolf mix originally.
I own a czechoslovakian wolfdog which is a different thing than a wolf dog hybrid, but could be a very good compromise for somebody looking for a pet with wolves attributes. They are fairly easy to raise compare to hybrids.

I like wolf-dogs. …
I like wolf-dogs. The first (and only) wolf-dog I met was a Canadian husky hybrid named Bandit and he was really friendly, obedient and protective. He came when you called him and he even slept outside the bedrooms when everyone else had gone to bed. He was one the sweetest, gentlest I’d ever met and, as I understand it, he was around 90% wolf and was starved by his previous owners. I only saw him once or twice and even then I was really upset when he died that’s how big an impact he had on me.

Beautiful …
Beautiful animals.But I believe dogs and wolves should never be bred under any circumstances.Thank god for wolf rescues.Wolves are wild animals and should remain that way, they shouldnt be kept as pets whatsoever.

very good idea. i will document it well.
no im not selling any of the pups. my wolf is 100% european wolf raised at home since a pup. she is pregnant with a blackjack german shepherd. so its not exactly a long line of wolfdog breeding lol
this is why i am reasearching as much as possible about hybrids at the moment. never had one. only pure wolves

Excellent, Fadatak! …
Excellent, Fadatak! You should consider filming some of the their behaviors and your observations?! Sort make your own documentary, unless you’re planning on selling some of them?
Eitherway, thanks!

Yes and NO! I have …
Yes and NO! I have two wolves and one gets along with cats fine – the other is like Dexter Morgan with any cat that gets in our yard! My advice to anyone interested in one these animals is to do your research first and when you go to pick out your animal be sure to watch for their temperaments.

You should see his father! He’s freakishly large! I’m talking about – he quite literally towered over the others! The wolf in this video is now nine months old and about as large as our GSP. But not nearly as large as his pops. He’s still got some growing in him so who knows.
