One of my favorite pets was a wolf hybrid. But I wouldn’t recommend them for everyone. They can be a little bit spooky.
I guess the love of wolves depends on which side of the fence you are on. If you have a herd of cattle..not bueno. If you can enjoy them from a distance with no threat to your livelyhood..they are beautiful.
According to my uncle, wolves are less deadly than wolf hybrids...and also according to the other old geezers in his neck-of-the-woods.
Agreed. We had a wolf/huskie mix that we inherited from a broken down farm we once rented. The owners had kept him tied to a tree for at least two years prior. We figured he was about four to five years old at the time we adopted him.
We let him off the tree, fattened him up, and gave him a ton of attention, but there was always something distant in his eyes. A sort of, "I'm not totally here with you" thing, that I took for his feral side.
In time, I realized it was mostly because he' d been abused for so long, and was slow to warm up completely to humans. Even those who were caring for him.
As the years progressed, he became more and more sociable - to the point where I let him stay inside most of the Texas summer. He was a good boy, and I miss him. Gotta say, though, he never did totally lose that wild thing in his eyes. There was definitely something there, which couldn't be accounted for, otherwise.
