| We have 5 females and 2 males, they were born Dec 8, 2018
they've received their 1st set of vaccines Jan 22, 2018, 2nd set Feb 8th and final set March 8th, 2019. |
| We'reasking $400.00 with our contract or $600.00 outright. |
| Our WolfDog blends often weigh 80 - 125+ pounds each. They are very loyal, devoted, outgoing, willing to please, very intelligent, self aware and very family oriented. We want to make sure our pups are placed in loving, responsible homes. Therefore, we're asking for a small adoption fee. |
| Our WolfDog blends are probably not very well suited for apartment or city living nor homes with cats, rabbits and or most small household pets as they often see them in close proximity as prey. |
| They do best in a securely fenced rural setting with ample room to roam and run. |
| Early training is essential, and ongoing socialization and obedience is crucial. Also these guys will NOT respond to harsh or heavy-handed training methods. Training must be done with respect, firmness, fairness, and consistency. |
| Our Wolf Dog blends are generally well-proportioned and large. They possess long limbs, are agile, and muscular. The face has the appearance of a Wolf with a long, tapering muzzle. |
| Our WolfDog blends are suspicious of strangers and will protect their family, property, and territory. |
| The coat of our Husky, Akita, Wolf mix has a double coat that is extremely dense. |
| Regular brushing is recommended of our WolfDog mix. Baby shampoo is our preferred pet shampoo. |
| In additon they may be prone to hip dysplasia. |
|
| Despite the fact that wolf dogs are mostly dogs, however, ownership requires diligent training, as our canine mix has characteristics that can make it a challenging addition to a family. It's important to know that some of our wolf dogs are more like wolves than they are like dogs and their temperament can differ greatly from that of a Siberian Husky or an Akita. Still, for the right pet owner, they make a delightful addition to the family. Gaining some knowledge about our canine mix before welcoming one into your home will set you and your pup off on the right foot. |
| Wolf dogs, in general, are not easy going pets and they do have the capacity to be quite aggressive. This means they are probably not a good choice for a family with small children or family members who are not able to control an aggressive pet. It's also important to know that wolf dogs are very different from one another; while some are lovely pets, others are extremely difficult to care for in a home setting. This diversity can occur even within the same litter. |
| Wolves are pack animals with a natural instinct to guard their food and mark their territory—useful traits in the wild, but highly undesirable in the home. |
| Wolves are not domesticated, so deliberate socialization and training of our wolf breeds are needed to assure their integration into the modern world. Wolf dogs with higher percentages of wolf genetics tend to be destructive, especially when confined to the house (stemming from their natural tendency to dig). They're also escape artists, making this type of pet suitable only for those who have time to spend with them. If you work from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, maybe choose another type of pet. |
| Wolf dogs also benefit from exposure to lots of different people, locations, and situations as pups to prevent them from being skittish and potentially fearful (which can lead to biting). And training, in general, poses additional challenges, as wolf dogs are not as eager to please their trainer as a domestic dog who is bred and raised to do so. Hormone changes at sexual maturity add another layer to a wolf dog's unpredictability, so consider this factor when before getting one. |
| |
One half to a full acre of enclosed space in which to roam; the site suggests that wolf dogs do best in pairs or groups, and two wolf dogs would require at least an acre of enclosed space |
| |
A heavy chain link fence surrounding the enclosure that is at least 8 feet high; fences should be angled inward to make it even harder for the animal to escape |
| |
Buried concrete barriers with reinforced mesh placed along the base of the fence to prevent the wolf dogs from digging their way out |
| |
Double gates at least 6 feet tall with lockable gates
Appropriate ground drainage so that wolf dogs can find dry areas in wet weather |
| |
A dog house with enough space for the wolf dog(s) to comfortably shelter from bad weather (ideally with a shelf so the animal can sit up high) |
| |
Vegetation and ground cover to provide shade, grass to eat, and hiding places (making sure that no trees are near enough to the fence to allow the animal to climb and escape) |
|
| Wolf dogs do not thrive on typical dog food. In essence, they need to eat what wild wolves eat: raw meat. Ideally, you should feed your wolf dog several pounds of raw meat per day, though it's fine to feed them chicken and turkey, though avoid raw pork as it can cause digestive issues. Bones are not an issue for wolf dogs, and they will enjoy and benefit from eating raw, whole bones. In addition, your wolf dog will need access to fresh grass and other vegetation, and many wolf dogs enjoy fruit, though check with your vet to see that the fruit you offer is safe for your pet. |
| In addition to regular meals, most wolf dogs do better when they receive specific nutritional supplements including glucosamine, vitamins C, A, B, D, and E, along with alfalfa and wheat grass, garlic, and pumpkin. These supplements help to prevent common health issues such as arthritis, skin issues, parasites, and digestive problems. |
Wolf dogs need a constant source of fresh water. The best option is to provide water in a trough that is used for livestock. In hot areas, you can offer your wolf dog the option of actually bathing in cool water in a wading pool. |
Wolf dogs are prone to many of the same problems as those experienced by large dogs. Before purchasing your wolf dog, be sure you have access to a local vet who is willing and able to work with your pet. Your wolf dog will need vaccinations as a puppy and should be monitored and provided with appropriate vaccines and medications throughout its life. Like any dog, your wolf dog may also be prone to (among other issues):
| |
Fleas, mites, and ticks
|
| |
Heartworm
|
| |
Parvovirus
|
| |
Infectious diseases such as respiratory issues
|
| |
Tumors |
|
| No licensed vaccines exist for wolf dogs but the off-label use of domestic canine vaccinations are often recommended by veterinarians and wolf dog advocates. It is important to note, however, that if a wolf dog bites someone—vaccinated or not—the government will treat that animal as though they were unvaccinated (often leading to euthanasia). |
| It's important to know that wolf dogs come in a wide range of sizes, colors, and genetic blends; some have a very high wolf-to-dog ratio while others have a very low ratio. Wolf dogs that are mostly wolf are much more likely to be aggressive than those that are mostly dog. |
| Overall, the sometimes unpredictable nature of a wolf dog and its genetic differences from a domesticated dog can pose problems for owners who are not ready for the challenge. But for owners who have the time and resources, a wolf dog can make a great pet. Be realistic about both your expectations and your availability before embarking on this endeavor. Just because you want a "wild-looking" dog, remember, wolf dogs aren't the best choice for everyone. Maybe try a Akita or Husky instead. |
