Russian Army Wolfdog Projekt

[Morian]

russian normal wolves, i think
also i think they can sell them to private owners too... unfortunately. about lines etc. - yes, they have plans, but nothing more. but i can't share the info i have from people which worked with them, it would be just a low blow

In 2003, I met one man who took part in that test and he told the experiment was over.
Big problems whit character and healty.

[Morian]

big problems and... big money they still continue their "work" and still try to advertise themselves in russia nobody saw no outstanding result (i mean working abilities), that's why they started to tell new legends about 30 yars long life, gene of loyalty and other fish stories from the same kind.

ahhaha advertising of non-fci mixes on wd! must i ban you? (kidding too)

the only interesting thing said is about motivation of dogs and wolfdogs, she told that it differs very much, how dogs make tricks for food etc. 90% is about how cool they are. by the way, it was iterview with olga druzhinina, one of the main persons in this experiment. she started to tell about 30 years i spoke with her many times on some forums and even by skype. every time after my question "why do you want to create new breed if it already exists?" she used to start long and boring discussions about csv - not able to work, shy etc. but every time we had to finish the discussion with another question - have you ever seen one? i don't want to compare csv and volkosob (as minimum because i didn't have it), but imagine - how many dogs are on their site? for so long time (and so much money and attention) it's not too optimistic number. how many of them passed even most easy exams? 2 or 3 maybe. how strong inbreeding is - did you see information about any health test on their site? i didn't. only one paper where they compared biochemical indices of dogs and hybrids (and found out that their dogs are not healthy). it's all looks like a bad joke, nothing more. so much ado about nothing.

ahh! thankyou..only saturday my friend and i (tassle) were watching a you tube clip about this but it was in russian! grrr!

i couldnt understand why they were trying to breed what already exists

does anyone know of the experiment of crossing siberian huskys and jackals for use as 'sniffer dogs'? is this project still ongoing? (seemed an odd idea to me)

Thank you Mikael and Morian, it's really an interesting thread. It's amazing how wolf hybridation can sugest that much interest... Personally I'n really glad with my pure breed dog

90% is about how cool they are.

This is probably why they're doing it. Coolness = more attention = more money.

[Morian]

yes, exactly
