I am not against wolfdogs or wolfhybrids, but am alarmed to "blow the whistle" when some gives the impression that highpercentage or even pure wolves are easier to to keep than a regular CWD. Wolves and high %-age wolfdogs can be dangerous in the hand of the lay-man and the ignorant and every experienced wolf behaviorist or wolf scientist or wolfdog breeder will agree. I hope I misunderstand the self-acclaimed specialist, but to prevent other without experience who has the desire for a highpercentage wolfdog or a desire to mix more wolfblood into the CWD I feel an obligation to react to her claims.

Hanninadias close friend who makes special private visit to her, the photographer Monty Sloans has published this about the wolfdog:
"Wolves and high-content wolf-hybrids should never be regarded as pets"
See his whole article here:http://www.wolfpark.org/Images/Educa...Guidelines.pdf
W However , of the animals that I`ve seen or heard of that are good with children, most are low in content or young". See this whole article here: http://www.wolfpark.org/Images/Educa...dsChildren.pdf
I would also recommend Erik Klingenhammer , the mentor wolf behaviorist from WolfPark, article on wolfhybrids: http://www.wolfpark.org/Images/Educa...ionHybrids.pdf

Ann Dresselhouse dogs, the Noble Alaskan Companion Dogs, are accordinig to herself a mix between at least 6 dog breeds. Sighthounds, collies, shepherds, white siberian huskies &.c. This amalgam of dogbreeds is very specially developed for their trainablility although wolflike in appearance. Maybe this explains Hanninadians experience with her dogs.
