Sorry, they’re not known to inhabit my part of the country (Southeast) but they are beautiful creatures. I’ve only seen pictures unfortunately. My DH has seen coyotes around here and also a red fox being chased by neighborhood dogs a couple of years ago. Wish I had a story to share though! Fascinating reading.

My brother raised a McKenzie Shepherd. Supposedly, 75% Timber Wolf. Incredible dog, but I couldn't have done that. He was more than a handful. Took three years to settle him down. Jet black, belligerent, intelligent as hell.

When he was a puppy, and had those sharp toenails, he could climb a tree like a cat.

He'd play this game with us, where I'd swim out into the middle of a small lake, probably 300 yards out, on a boat cushion. He'd come out and get me, grab that cushion in his mouth, and turn for shore. I'd grab hold of his tail, and he'd tow me in. Absolute beast of a swimmer. He loved that water.

Don’t need no wolf or wolf cross, I got Jack Russel’s.

I’ll bet Jack isn’t as obnoxious as Mack. He was half-human, half Tasmanian Devil. But he never bit anyone, which is a tribute to the way my brother raised him.

Had a red coon hound who wolved his dinner down. Pure Alpha Male who destroyed a 140lb German Sheppherd in a fight; probably bad ass enough to take on the average wolf...

Fascinating topic!

There is absolutely no justification for the subsidized propagation of a predatory species in an area inhabited and frequented by human beings.

Anyone who is convinced otherwise is an enemy of humanity.

WOOOF!

Thats one smart dog!

My old lab (bless his late heart), would probably have tried to play with the coyotes had he ever come across any.

One time this kid was pulling his tail and he sat down, kept very still, and cried. Didn't even try to move away because the kids hands were still on his tail.

A gentle canine sould, but exactly bright...

***Wolf-dogs have to be entirely fenced in, no two ways about it.****

My wife’s nephew used to raise these. They were beautiful and the neighbors though they were sweet dogs.

Then a local newspaper interviewed him and reported they were WOLF-DOGS!

Instant panic in the neighborhood. He had to get rid of them.

I think along those lines about domesticated humans and free men.

I don’t know. I never saw a pic of them Hard to say how big they really were. Just about anything can be hung from the porch with the feet near the ground if the rope is long enough.

I know a guy who claims his dog is 1/8th wolf. It just looks like a german shepherd crossed with a husky to me...and seems really mellow.

You say northeast US but be more specific. Where is the farm where the wolves were killed?

WORKED IN A body shop some years ago.Had a ten year old wolf/Shepperd mix that lived there.Did not care for anybody much,but on the weekends,his food bowl was empty along with the toilet water.
After about three months,I could not stand the treatment he was getting.He took a liking to me as I fed him scraps and fast food.One three day weekend ,I was just devastated at his pitiful condition.So i told the owner I was taking him home.It was explained to me how vicious he was etc.
At the time I was driving a jeep and I told him if he could make it in,he was going home.He did.Wife freaked out but my daughter was popular and had many girlfriends over all the time.He would sit in the backyard proud as can be,tongue hanging out.The kids would run by pet him and move on.Only hangup was,if you wanted to pick up your child,you had to get me or the wife to approve.Once the neighbors figured it out,they loved it!I was so proud of him and I think he was of me RIP,HOBO
