I truly believe a dog’s temperament is all on how the owner has treated the dog. I’ve come across wolf hybred’s and they were very sweet and loyal, all because of how the owner treated the animal, but there are always the exception and it does happen.
I personally would never breed a wolf with any other type of dog! Wolves are one of the most beautiful animals in the world and to abuse one for breeding purposes is so wrong, or even to own one, just so you say you have one, just because you want to impress others. Wolves are meant to be free, like any other living creature. Truly sad.
The only exception for an animal to be put into captivity is very the very well being of the animal. Ex. abondonment from parents, endangered species, etc.
All animals are killers, it’s just depends on what the situation is that confronts them. I don’t believe in cross breeding one type of dog with a domesticated dog, especially a wolf, but it does happen. People don’t hear about it often, but the genetic affects aren’t all that glamourous and can lead to health problems for the animal.
I found the below on a website that may interest others:
A Wolf-hybrid can be quite skittish and does not respond well to inanimate objects, fast motion, loud noises, or new people. They require much patience. Training is not for the weak and serious consideration should be given prior to obtaining a wolf-hybrid dog as they require firm, consistent training and ample space to roam. If there’s something you find foul and offensive you can bet a wolf dog will roll happily in it and coat themselves in the funk! It is not until a Wolf Hybrid is about 18 months of age, that it will start showing signs of the wolf.
Wolfs younger than 18 months of age are adolescents, they are playful and adaptable. They take directions readily and can bond with other species. Young wolves act more like the common dog as they have not developed into maturity. As a wolf grows out of its adolescents, its hormonal system reaches maturity and it will begin to exhibit all of the typical behaviors of the wolf. Anyone owning a Wolf Hybrid should read these two pages and follow the information to a tee.
