Correct me if I'm wrong, but hasn't Lupina been claimed to be a Canadian wolf? If Mutaras look like Untonagans then either the Utanagans do have wolf's blood but the breeders try to conceal it for obvious reasons, or the Mutaras have nothing of a wolf and their mother is a sort of Utonagan mix...

The other question is,why does anybody want to create a type of dog out these three working breeds.
Just for the looks,just for monetary reasons,just for an idea ?

A good question! I think Dharkwolf is right:

I can think of a few more reasons: some want to show off, impress their neighbours or friends, feel more macho-like - the "Me and My Wolf" sort of attitude
, etc., etc. And of course, there are also true wolf lovers who treat the dogs as imperfect substitutes for wolves which they cannot breed... They're watching their dogs and dreaming of wolves...
What really suprises me is the marketing slogan: "We are an alternative to all other wolf like breeds"- there is more to a wolf, a Sarloos, a CWD and probably even to an Utonagan than looks!
Maybe "We are an alternative to wolves" would be fairer and... more effective?
