He said Buck was in good nick as well, he 6 in august . we were talking about gsd's in general , vet said that there are few good breeders out there that, try to breed dogs with low hip / elbow scores , and not over big dogs , prob Buck size or bit smaller , dont forget he 1/2 greyhound , his sire was 29in 75 lb greyhound Razzmatazz , the vet said the greyhound in any breed norm reduces any bad hips/ elbows , and 70lb -85lb is what good breeders try to aim for with there gsds .

jiggy 3,209 Posted April 5, 2018 Report Share Posted April 5, 2018 Might get one good run out of pups and then they would never return back to your side again ?Allthough maybe the wolf blood would improve recall.??? 2 3 Quote Link to post

rabbit demon 302 Posted April 5, 2018 Report Share Posted April 5, 2018 My family had a dutch shepard wolf hybrid bitch when I was growing. She was fine around people once she got to know them but the first 2 year she would urinate and cower if anyone came near her to pet her. She acted like a dog that had been badly beaten and even caused a couple of arguments. Once she turned 2 she was fine and never cowered. She barked as much any shepard type but was more easy going. I reckon other dogs in my area could sense the bit of wolf in her as they would normally avoid walking past her till they got to know her. She knew some of my mates were scared of her and played on it. Start showing the teeth to them if I left the room and id come back in and they would be white and wanting to run out the door but froze to the couch at the same time lol. She suffered terrible separation anxiety and would tear stuff up if you left her in the house for more than an hour on her own. 1 Quote Link to post

A mate had a straight cross dingo/English bull was the best pig dog he ever owned.In western oz they use dingo/whippet/bull terriers on pigs in the thick hot dry scrub as are small, fast and can handle the heat.The dingos are immune to paralysis ticks near the coast as are the cattle dogs which have a good dose of the wild dog blood.I don't have the personality to own a dingo,would end up shot. 1 1 Quote Link to post

Kerny92 1,246 Posted April 6, 2018 Report Share Posted April 6, 2018 (edited) I always read growing up that wolves are fearful of man and dog alike but as the years have gone by you hear of more attacks on people and dogs, I've seen what damage they can do even to working APBT'S.

They say that wolves have double the bite strength as German Shepards. They are intelligent enough to know that if they get a bad injury it will mean starvation for them and their cubs unlike a reckless Bull cross that will get nursed back to health by a human. They would easily take a pitbull or human if there backs were against the wall. Quote Link to post
