A friend of ours has a wolf hybrid, very large, long jet black fur and seriously intense gold eyes. He has invited us for a BBQ. When ever this friend asks people over to socialize he always says you are welcome to bring your dogs. I have been in the presence of this animal twice. I brought my male once. This wolf dog is very unaffected by other animals, he seems to always be surveying the activity. He is unnervingly calm. I can't explain it but he makes me feel uncomfortable...like hes about to make a meal out of someone. Does anyone have experience with this kind of dog, and am I being hysterical? Oh another thing I notice about the wolf dogs interaction with other dogs, is the other dogs tend to shy away from him, no barking or growling...they just turn their heads and move away from him.
He seems like he should be hunting in the woods, not laying across some ones deck in the back yard...
While I don't understand the "moral of the story" for this subject yes wolves are as you said "meant to be in the woods". They are not domesticated animals regardless of what they are bred to.
They are shy by nature as well and "avoidance" is another common trait.
Anyway this subject kind of bores me but I thought I would respond and we move on to another topic here <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I don't remember where I read it but it goes something like this. "...Wolves don't have personal relationships with their food no more than you have with a bowl of ice cream..."
ALso I've read growls and warnings are for pack mates only.
I wouldn't have a wild Squirrel as a pet let alone a 90 Lbs carnivore. As Ed has stated, wolves and hybrids as pets are a very bad idea.
I didn't mean to bore anyone, I should have been more direct....so let me: I am uncomfortable around this animal, should I be?
And thanks to Dennis I have read all the articles and have come to the determination...YES I should. So I will pass on the invite. Thanks for the guidance from those with patience and information to pass on.
I have trained and hung out with a few hybrids that acted like you are describing. That was about all they did. Their owners described them as calm but extremely alert. I never felt threatned by them, and they could of cared less about me.
