  • Today, join us as we delve into the world of wolfdog puppies, their breeders, and the issue of misrepresentation. Whether you're considering adding a wolfdog puppy to your family or simply curious about these unique creatures, this video is a must-watch! In this episode, we are thrilled to have Georgina, the founder of the Yamnuska Wolfdog Sanctuary, who will introduce us to Nova and share her firsthand experiences raising him.
    As the popularity of wolfdog ownership continues to rise in North America, the Yamnuska Wolfdog Sanctuary recognizes the importance of providing education about these magnificent animals. It is crucial to be well-informed and prepared before considering a wolfdog puppy, as their ownership entails complexities and challenges. Regardless of their content level, wolfdogs always retain certain wolf behaviors and differ significantly from domesticated dogs. To expand your knowledge on this subject, be sure to explore our collection of informative UA-cam videos.
    Remember, making an informed decision about wolfdog ownership is vital, and we are here to help you navigate this fascinating world.

    Very well done! I owned one, she was 62% wolf and 38 % GSD. I didn't have the proper housing for her. I was very lucky she only escaped a couple of times. I never knew what I was coming home to. I had her for over 15 years, and she was one of the highlights of (almost) every one of the days I had her. She was destructive, she was timid around humans (other than her pack). She liked other dogs, until they realized she wasn't a dog and she got bit a few times. She then didn't like other dogs other than the ones in our house. She would let them know by growling, baring her teeth and pretending to go after their face. She never bit another animal except to teach them lessons when they were puppies (nipping like a Mother would). It's been over four years, and I miss her every single day. I know how lucky I was to have had her. I know how lucky I was, because she could've been much more destruchitive and it would've been easy for her to run away. I was never so attached to a creature in my entire life. I knew I was coming home to something I'd have to spend time cleaning every time I walked in the door, but I always looked forward to just seeing her. There was something so special in the way she looked into my eyes, It's like she was looking into my soul, and no one will ever understand who I am, the way I feel she did.

    People fall in love with these beautiful animals and have no idea what they are getting into. The average dog owner wouldn't even be able to handle the German Shepherd/Husky/Malamute part. Don't shop for looks. Get a dog that actually fits into your life. Also often you don't know how much wolf there is actually in them or if they are gonna be more like a dog or more like a wolf.

      Be aware of subtle behavior they show, e.g. before prey drive kicks in. They always try to create an amazingly deep bond with their owner, since they heavily rely on their owner to see if a given situation is good or bad, and will prevent some flight behavior if not all flight behavior.
      Aware of the fact they never should be cut only combed since they have a double coat. Cutting the hairs under their paws might be necessary at times since in urban areas it can cause them to walk wrong.

    Wouldn't a wolfdog make a pretty GREAT hunting hound,if properly trained and domesticated? Especially since hunting together should increase the bond between human and animal,aswell as help facilitate pack dynamics? I mean,after all that IS what our ancestors did..

    • @claudehelfer8790
      @claudehelfer8790 Місяць тому

      My opinion: no, don't learn a wolfdog hunting, they make their own decisions and ignore your commands if it makes no sense for them. I educated my wolfdog, to not hunt.

      @ingvarkarlson5982 Місяць тому

      @@claudehelfer8790 I talked about this with a few dog people. Professionals. Most agree it's not a good idea. But it's because they would be scared of basically everything "human". Shotgun shot,other humans,cars etc. too bad really. But most agree you could technically teach them to hunt with you,but ONLY you. Maybe for bow hunters,this might be viable.

    Good advice for people. As a Wolf dog myself I would add that these thoughtful considerations are appropriate for any dog adoption. Not just hybrids like me. If you don't have the time to spend on this incredible journey, then do not get one. Unless you are incomplete and unhappy without the love and companionship that only a Wolf dog experience can bring to you take up some other activity. And you will have to make a choice. It will come to that. My human loves me above all others. Because I bring him love, joy, laughter and happiness more than all others.

    I really wish you'd say more to actually discourage ownership, considering 90% of them end up euthanized within 2 years of being born. I'm not totally against ownership but everything said in this video makes them sound like just another difficult dog such as a Malamute or Husky.

    No 38 nobody should discourage the idea of having a wolf pup it's how you treat all animals you mistreat and abused or neglect even abandoned them they Will come back at you with vengeance and they will be in there right to turn on the owner that is cruel to them I don't care what type of animal it is

      People having wolfdogs are normally the ones being very aware of what wolfdogs are. Second nest: Siberian Husky x Saarloos Wolfdog on its way here, 95% of the people interested in one of our first nest's pups received a no go. For the love of the wolfdog we are brutally honest. It is our responsibility towards them.
      Basically anyone breeding wolfdogs around here check if a potential new owner would be a good match for a wolfdog. Often also looking if the specific personality of the pup matches the new owner.
