mushroom 12,925 Posted October 5, 2016 Report Share Posted October 5, 2016 At the Conway Valley show this year, a chap I met claimed his dog was a wolf cross.... Few years ago we met a guy at the game fair at harewood house I think its called and he had couple, pics of matings and that, the dogs were impressive if a tad iffy and I stayed out of reach, but they were deffo different even if not genuine wolf dogs I remember them.... they were beautiful animals but as said, iffy as fuuck. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rabid 1,936 Posted October 6, 2016 Report Share Posted October 6, 2016 Just done a search for wolf dogs and there are a few varieties around. These are Dutch Saarloos wolf hounds. Some dog. TC I have met those dogs, the girl on the right used to live with me for a while many years back, big big and very powerful animals, it's not often I shy away from any dog, but they really made you think twice, you could just see the power in them, they were often taken to a farm and let run free, they could move as well, on more than one occasion I saw them snap at each other and they really came across as killers. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bull lurcher babe 35 Posted October 10, 2016 Report Share Posted October 10, 2016 A couple of my girl finally. She looks a bit out of proportion as she's only 11 months old and they grow more slowly than other none wolf type breed. re Saarloos, they are stunning dogs, and tend to be more wolfish than the Czech as they have the smaller ears and more wolfy proportions, Unfortunately the breed standard in their country of origin, Holland i think, called for aloofness and timidity, and because this was bred for the breed/type, such as it is, now has a massive problem with fear bitting and fear aggresdive dogs, and so they are crossing out to Czech wolf and other similar types to try to reduce the problem. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bird 9,898 Posted October 10, 2016 Report Share Posted October 10, 2016 Just done a search for wolf dogs and there are a few varieties around. These are Dutch Saarloos wolf hounds. Some dog.

But looking at them pics of them big wolf dogs, which alot bigger and prob hell of alot more stronger than Buck, animals like them getting in the wrong hands , which they prob will do, the damage they do to a person or another dog, not worth thinking about, rather have big soft lurcher anyday, been around lurchers 30 years now, and i dont think there dog out there with better temp than lurcher, great working dog and make brill pets Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm no dog expert by a long shot but why the f**k would they have timidity as part of a breed standard 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
