We do have coyote dog hybrids and coyote wolf hybrids, but not dogs? Given the demonstrated plasticity in dogs and the fact that coyotes cross with wolves and dogs, that a viable wolf dog hybrid is considered unlikely would seem silly on its face.

It is more likely that the opinion is generated among the government and NGO beneficiaries of wolf reintroduction to keep from rocking that cash cow. There is big money involved.

Dogs are domesticated gray wolves. They can still interbreed. In fact, some dogs like German Shepards were bred to me more wolf like.
