Buyer Beware

I want to back up and caution all who are considering bringing a wolf hybrid puppy into your home.  Some states have laws and state regulations that limit ownership of a wolf hybrid pet.  My state has strict regulations of full blooded wolves.  It has no limitations on wolf hybrid pets other than those put on regular pet dogs. The website listed below is a great reference site to make sure you are not going against any state laws or state regulations. http://www.wolfdogalliance.org/legislation/statelaws.html

Another thing I want you to consider is how much time it takes to train a wolf hybrid puppy.  The time it takes to train a wolf hybrid is much longer than a regular dog.  It is also a more intense  training than that of a regular dog.  You have to spend time with them becoming the alpha, socializing them with family and the public, and bonding with them.  These steps are very important to a wolf hybrid and should not be taken lightly or left out.

I also want to caution those that might have even the slightest fear of animals.  Wolves are very instinctive when it comes to detecting fear and a wolf hybrid pet will have this trait as well.  When the wolf hybrid reaches age two, it will start to challenge their pack similar to what a wolf would do in the wild.  This is similar to what teenager will do to their parents when puberty hits.  Any fear you or a family member shows will be automatically picked up by your wolf hybrid pet.  You must be strong willed and hold your ground during the challenge.  Not everyone can handle this pressure.

Another word of caution is to buy a puppy not a full grown animal.  You need to train your animal and bond with it.  You have no idea what the former owner of the full grown wolf hybrid has taught the animal.  You know nothing about the animal or its’ temperament or how it interacts with others.



Puppy Mill



Another word of caution is buyer beware.  Make sure you see the living conditions of the parents and the puppies.  There are all kinds of breeders out there who operate puppy mills and are deceptive.  Learn wolf features before you go or take literature with you describing wolf features.  You want to make sure the breeder is not lying about the percentage of wolf in your puppy.
