Hybrids?

[Storm Cloud]

That's one less thing to worry about in Holland Township N.J., I guess.

What are these people crazy?

There’s a tiny bit of wolf in my hybrid (chosen mix of wolfy malamutt and expensive shepherd breed to survive brutal cold with high winds, avoid hip problems and for longevity), and a little wolf behavior shows. ...still does a good job of guarding livestock. But we understand that if he gets away from the place, it’ll reasonably be ranchers’ open season on him.

For those who don’t know, wolves can be domesticated, although they don’t often make good sentries. They don’t bark, and some tend to go with whomever. Coyotes, on the other hand, revert to coyote behavior immediately after weaning and really tear stuff up. But if a wolf strays for long, it will revert and maybe even join a wild pack. ...healthy mix for some of the interbred, sickly purebreds, though.
