Obviously!
Anyway, I think it's been said before by Marcy on this thread, but 'wolfdog' according to one source means F5 or later... therefore vlcaks are not a wolf hybrid. It's just sad that there are so many ill intentioned people actually breeding wolf hybrids/wolfdogs without a background of breeding knowledge and lacking a good, solid program resulting in mixes unsuitable for pet keeping, and that 'Vlcak' happens to share their same name. Without tight, controlled breeding to wolves back in the day, Vlcaks could have been a disaster like so many unfortunate other wolfdogs.. (my older sister works in wolfdog rescue).. those dogs often turn out unsuitable for human keeping yet also unsuitable for wild living.
Once I knew through the grapevine one lady breeding 'hybrids'.. what she would do was take her female husky in heat and take her off to the woods where male wolves would get at her some time during the night.
Real responsible, course. Anything could have happened to be her bitch, and with any quality wolf of any temperament. Then she'd turn around and sell those dogs to anyone with money .. F1 crosses that are completely against the law in many, many areas and unsuitable for being a pet.
Bad enough to be a backyard breeder.. much less messing with wolves.
