Went past a sign yesterday "Hybrid wolf pups for sale. Males and females-beautiful. Rare breed. Don't miss out. Call xxx-xxxx" This is so wrong on so many levels. First it is incorrect. Hybrid means different species cross bred. Wolves and dogs are the same sub species. Second it's not a rare breed. It's a mistake that should never have happened and yet people continue to mix these two. I called him and he accidently let his timberwolf and AKC german shepherd breed. Now he has 8 wolf/dog pups. They DO NOT make good house pets. They are unpredictable and destructive. They can tear up your house in a heart beat. In their defense, they are not mean and can be friendly and a good companion for those in the know (about wolf/dogs). But he will sell them to unsuspecting families with small children or dogs or cats and it will be a disaster. And if it doesn't work out-where do you go with them? You can't send them into the wild-they are too domesticated. They would never survive. You can't take them to the SPCA-they will put them down and most rescues and shelters will not take them.
The weird thing is I know this person. I knew after a few minutes who he was but I did not let on who I was. He called me last year after buying 2 wolf pups at a "breeder" and they tore up his house, pottyed all over inside, would not go outside much and did not even like people to touch them. AND HE BRED ONE OF THESE? Man what a mess. I don't know if I even want to get involved. But look at all the people it can affect?????
