Hello..

They may be cute and dopey as puppies and adolescents but a huge percentage of them become to much to handle for even experienced dog owners by the time they reach full adulthood (2 years or so.)

I agree - they should not be breed. The wolf is my favorite animal. I love them. I love the eyes. I love everything about them. But they should be protected in the wild and not brought into houses. Keep them wild instead of always feeling the need of breeding something.

Quite right indeed; I agree that they shouldn't be bred at all and the reasoning behind why I have reared and worked with a fair few wolves and wolfdogs is mostly because owners get in over their head and can't handle them once they get past the cute fluffy stage :roll: Also people who spout crap about percentages greatly do annoy me. There is no way at all of telling exact percentages.

A few of the lupines that I have reared and worked with:

This is Lunar, a European timber pup that was born to a female timber in captivity from a planned mating, but unfortunately she wouldn't feed this wee pup, so he came home with me and did wonderfully well as you can see from the 2nd photo taken when he was just under a year old in his new home at a wolf sanctuary in England.

This guy is Laska (the good looking fluffy one :P ) with a friend of mine Ross. Laska was taken over from a couple that got in over their head and realised just why it isn't smart to keep a wolfdog as a pet.

This is Sky who has been my biggest and most contraversial challenge yet. He was tied to the back of a landrover by his owner and dragged until he had no skin left on his paws. Apparently this was a good way to exercise an animal...so says his former owner. Not surprisingly Sky wasn't a very trusting fellow after his ordeal, and it took a lot of begging and pleading to prevent him being put to sleep. We worked together and slowly little by little, Sky learned to trust some people again :)

Ok so the next one isn't a wolf, so I cheated a little! This is Glenn whose Mum was killed by a motorbike when she was carrying Glenn across the road. Glenn was touch and go with concussion, but I don't give up on furbabes; they all need a chance and Glenn slowly started to rehabilitate until she was strong enough to start eating solid food and learn to be a fox again. She loved to yip yip howl for her feeds lol!

KAT,

Those are wonderful pictures and you have evidently done some wonderful work with these magnificent yet misfortunate animals. Thanks for sharing the pics!

BTW, I agree.......don't breed them! Let's respect them for who/what they are.
