Hello,

you can?t compare wolfdogs with wolfhybrids, they have been selected as working dogs for a lot of years now and in the countries they originally came from they have to have a charaktertest for breeding to select dogs with wolflike behaviour out of breeding. I know both wolf and dogs quite well and wolfdogs definetly are dogs.
Wolfhybrids mostly get dangerous when they are sexually mature and then they are mostly dangerous for their own owners in first place because of social expansive behaviour. Though some wolfdog males tend to get dominant they are no problem if the owner keeps a good rankorder and obedience from puppyhood on, in this point they are very much like Rottweilers.
Wolfdogs have a good problemsolving ability and are able to learn by watching others, they are easily bored. Because of that they are - for some people - more difficult to train. In some situations it is a little difficult to keep up with your dog . For me personally that makes them more easy because I don?t like much routine either

Regards Ina
