Wolf Hybrid Dogs (Wolfdog, Wolf-Dog Hybrid)

The Wolf Hybrid, more commonly called the Wolfdog by breeders and owners, is a cross between the wild wolf and any type of domestic dog. Typically most breeders and rescues consider a Wolfdog or Wolf-Dog Hybrid any crossbreed that has a wolf as one of the parents as far back as five generations. When the dog breed tends to be more wolf-like in appearance such as the Malamute or Siberian Husky or even the German Shepherd Dog the resulting offspring tend to more closely resemble their wolf parent. If the dog breed in the cross is not one of these breeds the Wolfdog or Wolf Hybrid will still have some the characteristics of the wolf including the dense coat, longer narrow head and long legs, but may also have more of the traits of the domestic dog breed.
