That "wolf" sure looks like a white German shepherd. If it has any wolf in it, it's very low content. The ears are too big and the head too small.
i was always amazed at how many people "sweare" they have pet wolves, or hybrids. It's clealy a dog. I don't even think it has any wolf in it.
I've spoken with a few people who have actually lived with wolfdogs, or coydogs - they do not act like normal dogs at all - you can't mistake them.
And then, of course this has to be my homestate. Sigh
Even the journalists say it: "She may look like a dog, whimper like a dog, and wag her tail like a dog..." but some guy on Craigslist said she's a wolf, so that's enough to confiscate her!
Ten dog biscuits says the previous owner said she was a wolf in Craigslist to sell, er, I mean re-home, her faster and with a higher fee.
It IS a lovely photo, but the anal retentive in me immediately thought:
a/ 'awww...'
b/ 'That dog needs his nails dremeled'
I grew up with a wolf-hybrid. As a child my bus driver called the police because a "wolf" was at the bus stop. Boy was she embaressed when i said "thats my dog!" Quinn lived to be 20 years old. I still miss him.
In my adult Life I've owned four dogs including a husky. Quinn was never anything like them. I can never decifer a dogs breed on how they looks but give me 5 minutes with the dog and i could tell you if he had some wolf in him.
Elizabeth - Just to clarify, the animal was advertised on Craigslist as an "Artcic/Timber Wolf" and that's the reason police seized him. As I understand it, this was not an issue of an animal being a wolf hybrid. There is a short video accompanying the piece, I wonder if you gathered any impressions from the animal in the vid?
