Best Answer

A wolf is the pure wild animal, simply, a wolf. Wolf dogs are hybrids of pure wolves with domestic dogs. They range from being as little as 15% wolf to 98% wolf. They are very difficult and demanding animals to handle and should not be considered pets because the wolf aspect of their nature is very unpredictable and dangerous even in the lower percentage wolf dogs.

Where are there Arctic wolf breeders?

There arent any actual pure wolf breeders. Any breeder who claims to sell pure wolves, especially arctics, to private owners does not actually have pure wolves and is selling wolfy looking dogs. There are many reputable high content wolfdog breeders, such as The Wolf Crossing, Wolf Creek Habitat, and Southern Breeze. If its your first wolfdog I would suggest a low or mid content. It would be best to get one from a wolfdog rescue (there are many). There arent many good low or mid content wolfdog breeders. I can suggest you check out Southern Breeze and Harvest Moon Wolfdogs.

What is a wolf hybrid?

A wolf-dog hybrid (also called a wolf hybrid or wolfdog) is a canid hybrid resulting from the mating of wolf (Canis lupus) and a dog (Canis familiaris). The term "wolfdog" is preferred by most wolfdog proponents and breeders since the domestic dog was recently taxonomically recategorized as a subspecies of wolf.In first generation hybrids, gray wolves are most often crossed with wolf-like dogs (such as German Shepherd Dogs, Siberian Huskies, and Alaskan Malamutes) for an appearance most appealing to owners desiring to own an exotic pet. Since wolf hybrids are genetic mixtures of wolves and dogs, their physical and behavioral characteristics cannot be predicted with any certainty.

There is no definitive answer to this, because all wolfdogs have different dog content and so each is different. They probably run anywhere from 30-45 mph, however. Also, 90% of wolfdog ads/breeders are scamming people, so google wolfdog misrepresentation and study up if you ever want a wolfdog.


How can you get a dog bred with a wolf?

yes.. most likely. They are from the both type of spiecies within variations, so I believe that is a yes answer. Yes. Theyre called wolfdogs. There is a common mistake of calling them "hybrids" which they are not since the domestic dog was reclassified as a gray wolf subspecies. You can google "wolfdog education" or "wolfdog misrepresentation" for more information on wolfdogs.
