What is the status of wolf x dog crosses (or "wolf hybrids" for clarification, though the term is incorrect for a mix of two Canis Lupus sub species) in FRANCE ? Are they illegal / banned like in UK and Scandinavia for example?
-This would maybe explain why some breeders are trying to use the FCI recognized wolfdog breeds as a safe (but unethical and wrong!) way to own and breed illegal wolf crosses...
Apparently they just don't stop to think about what might happen to the breeds they put at risk while doing so... they might get banned too after the public starts to realize what is going on and looses their respect for the breeds...
And for the view of making money with pedigree dogs, I have to say that I don't think this is worth for the risk of putting these FCI breeds in danger and so digging the ground under own feet, as there are several relatively new "design breeds" that have a higher price than pure bred dogs (even the wolfdog breed). So if someone wnats to make money out of wolfy dogs, they don't need the FCI recognition for that.
