It's not the cheapest hotel in Scotland to stay at. That said, if you can't afford a weekend away there now, I wouldn't hold much hope of you ever keeping wolves yourself. Thats not a dig. Just a realistic view.
Hard part for me isnt affording the time away, it's finding the time for a weekend away. Right now I'd kill just for a day off. lol

I have worked with wolves about15 years or more ago hard work if you have a life forget it anyway i have a sarloos wolfhond they are as near to a wolf as you could proberbly get. they are as has been said a wolf and a gsd originally by leendert sarloos he wanted to try and breed a dog as the ultimat working dog but without the distemper problem of domestic breeds. it didnt breed out the distemper but did breed out the gsd temper...lol very easygoing temprement looks like a wolf. i paid about 200 euro's for mine from a breeder in holland

We saw a Utonugan at a County Show this summer, and Mr TTTA (who, as I said, was head wolf keeper at a local zoo and hand reared 7 wolf pups), really thought it was a wolf from a distance. Absolutely gorgeous!!

Fenwoman, I thought that was a toy for a moment until I had a second look! They do look fierce and scary!! Did they catch it themselves?

the americans are big on keeping wolves.
A friend of mine has just spent 6 months in america working at a wolf sanctuary. Most of the wolves are pets that people couldnt keep. from conversations with her they are not really a good pet to keep at all. I would be contacting zoos and speaking to keepers or look up centres and get in contact to learn more. overall wolves arent really good pets.
