What next?

The household pets that are 'half wolf' - Telegraph

Why?

[Rhi01]

Because there are idiots in the world that are sucked into a novelty like this then it wears off and they'll dump the animal somewhere.

£5000 lol thats a joke, they are £750 to £1500. lol

And I know both Andre and Charlie. Both fab people

However Bev of Dogs Today is a nutjob lol She banned Northern Inuit dogs from the breeder listings after we'd been on it for a few years and caused problems with Petplan that I had to sort out with the underwriters, hence why you can still insure NI with them. Because I threatened to Sue Petplan on Discrimination lol

A totally laughable article it truely was. Maybe they should get their facts straight.
I remember taking a couple of mine down to OUR DOGS office in manchester and everyone went nuts at how wonderful, well adjusted and safe dogs they actually are.

ANY BREED OF DOG OWNED BY AN IDIOT IS AT RISK OF BECOMING DANGEROUS.
Including Jack Russells, Labs, Collies.

Breed not Deed after all.

And both Charlie and Andre have a strict vetting policy themselves for who they home to.

They have been around for over 10 years.

There was a lot of publicity a few years back and they seemed to die down a tad but obviously they are back on the scene now.

There were a few attacks in the USA and other countries but it didnt' stop fools over here breeding them.

I did know someone who owned a pure arctic wolf and actually raced it at Aviemore with his racing pack.

10 years back?? hmmmm I'll be one of those 'Fools' then since I've been breeding NI since 1999 lol

personally i dont see the problem, if they can be trained then why worry, as the same with the bull type its retards who get hold of them that cause the problem, not the breeding!

Beautiful dogs nether the less

I grew up with a wolf mix and he was the best dog I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. He was the "nanny" of the pack and was very protective of my brother and I (my parents used to call us "his puppies"). We regularly used Nomad as a pillow while watching tv and one of the cats actually laid on top of him (he was a very cozy bed, dontcha know!).

[KathyM]

A wolf mix is not "just like a bullbreed", it is not a fully domesticated dog. I personally would like to see their ownership restricted (TBH don't even know why anyone would breed them other than for money, it's not for dog or wolf welfare is it?), after all there are several breeds of dogs already banned in this country that are far more domesticated than these.

Well I'm here to stay lol
All the sh*t I put up with 10 years back because I 'had' 'wolf hybrids'
Weathered it all, invited police, local chief rspca and many others to meet my dogs first hand and all agreed that they were exceptionally well trained with wonderfll manners.
they are not for everyone and certainly not a breed for people who have never had a dog before.
i know plenty of people on here who i have refused and will refuse in owning one of my pups for various reasons.

And since as I own some of the top NI in the UK, well, I know I'm doing things right as well, I bred them lol

[lilworm]

I heard if the dog had less than 70% canine genetics it had to be DWA??
that was a while back mind,
