lurcher330 2,301 Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 as many have said i wouldnt see it as a wise idea, they have 1000's of years of predatory behavior and as weasle said are a very shy animal and due to being a mostly wild animal are very aloof and dont take to anything new very well. just for info tho in ireland you can own wolves on a special license aslong as you have the neccessary land and fencing and sign a contract to say they wont be bred from unless for conservation perposes. anyone with the right circumstances can apply. wolf hybids have been around for years. america is huge for them, 100's if not 1000's bred a year adding them to huskies and alsation to get a more stable animal. not surprised if some mad yank with the space has tried adding it to greyhound lol but makes me laugh people who own a husky and say that their wolves when there a million miles away from a wild wolf what "special licence" no such thing! only licence you need is cites if you are exporting the animal. im getting a caiman as soon as ive the setup built for it. only other time you need a licence is if you charge entry fees to your premises as you are then classed as a "zoo" Are you still trying to get rid of that husband of yours 1 Quote Link to post

moonlighter 1,164 Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 I read an article of type ratchers once, and when he said he will only collect a pup if it's 5 weeks and 4 days old exactly.... I lost interest in any further articles Quote Link to post
Dan Edwards 1,134 Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 (edited) I had a wolf hybrid when I was in my early teens. Well, it was actually my little brothers sorta but anyhow.........he was a very submissive type dog and not something that would throw himself into trouble of any kind. As a matter of fact he would literally roll over on his back and piss on your boot when you'd go to let him off his chain. Once he was loose and runnin around the yard he was a very friendly type dog and would play with ya all day long. He was a fast sumbitch too though. We'd road him along side the truck and he could hit just about 35 mph which is incredibely fast for a dog with no greyhound in it. I'd say its quite a bit faster than alot of the lurchers folks keep. I know I never seen a half cross field trial grey that could ever hit over 33 mph so I wouldnt think many others could either. He wouldnt have made a very good daddy for a lurcher type litter though cuz of his quirks and such. I did see him turn on a coon dog named Spot one day and he whipped his ass like it werent even a deal and Spot was a big rough sumbitch. Edited to say it wouldnt have matter cuz he was cut anyhow when he was young before we got him. Edited March 1, 2012 by Dan Edwards Quote Link to post

North east finest 105 Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 to me they are as wierd as you can get but in a good way, wolf x dogs, snapping turtles and you want caimens aswell saying that i would own all 3 aswell if i had the chance to get them and the room and time for them. Do you need some sort of licence for them turtles a bet there more dangerous then your wolfs have you any pictures of them Quote Link to post
stripes 401 Posted March 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 WHOOA! didnt expect so many replies to this subject, as far as shy and not interested in hunting thats a load of bollox, that can happen with any breed of dog . Natural speed, hunting instinct as standard, will face anything put infront of them, very intelligent , bone crushing jaw power. well! The czechoslovakian wolfdog wolf x german shepherd recognised by the uk kennel club since 2002 , they were first listed as a highly dangerous dog breed , as from 2008 they have been taken off that list..

Ideation 8,216 Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 They had them where i lived in eastern europe, wolves that is. Feck taming them, funny things. Someone in the village had a bitch lined by one once, all the pups ended up legging it bar one. That one was kind of used for hunting, but it was no retriever, you just let it go, and caught up with it when it had killed something. Not ideal. Maybe from captive wolves it would be different. 1 Quote Link to post

Well mate i have seen a wolf/G shepherd first hand on a few occasions. One of my mates wife owns it along with a couple of pure shepherds. The hybrid is by far the most skittish of his dogs, as much to say i dont think i have ever seen the dog walk properly, it slinks along wherever it goes. It may just be this particular dog, he got it as a rescue dog, but it is definately one of the most nervous dogs i have seen. Pernod Quote Link to post

When i say used for hunting, i mean, let go when hungry, and let hunt its own prey. WIth a collar on. Quote Link to post
