How many dogs... is too many dogs?

That really sums it up perfectly. The reason I decided not to get one was I couldn't provide a quality of life it deserves. The dog would look for other channels to disapate that energy My friend owned one in an apartment with not the right exercise regime. It wasn't good. That dog went nuts because it didn't have healthy channels. His family couldn't believe the dog accepted me. It wanted to kill everyone else. I use to sleep on the floor with him ahahahahaha. Wolf hybrids are not for most people. The reason is, most people do not have suitable homes, do not have enough time to dedicate for exercising physically and mentally, cannot maintain alpha position for the owner and family(that's because they're smart and will easily lose confidence in a lazy owner). I think I end up getting a similar version of a wolfhybrid. My dog is bred for big game hunting and has most if not all the wolf traits. I went in blind and boy did he teach me a lesson. People should do tons of research, before they commit to anybreed. This will save dogs from ending up at shelters once there not little babies anymore

Cliffdog, you offended me when you posted what you did. Why? Because you're doing a GREAT disservice to the Wolf-hybrids that are out there by voicing an opinion such as that. Just as someone said earlier, it's the same thing for Pit Bulls. The only reason they have a reputation like they do is because of the way people treat them and see them. Wolf-hybrids are GREAT dogs in the right environment. I had one, and he was one of the best dogs ever. Would have only been the best if I'd spent more time with him and he'd been an indoor dog, which he wasn't, and I didn't.

You know what the bad reputation comes from? It comes from those people who think it's "cool" to own a Wolf-dog, and they get one without thinking it through and without doing their breed research, and guess what? Without doing the necessary training and socialization. Why? Because that's all it is to them, a really cool object. It's the same as Pit Bulls. "Oh! I want a Pit Bull because they're bad a$$!"

The more people go around stating things like "Wolf-hybrids are dangerous animals, and only people with a lot of experience with them," the more people are going to fear them and create all of this hype about them. Remember, dogs are descendants of Wolves. And also, remember, it took Dmitri Belyaev less than 60 years to tame the wild and crazy foxes, and that's with an animal that has hardly ANY tolerance for humans, unlike Wolves, who have proven on numerous occasions that they can accept humans into their WILD packs.
