As much as I love big dogs, these look a bit scary to me! Have someone ever met a wolfdog? Are all the facts true?
17 Gorgeous Wolfdogs We Want to Hug and Never Let Go
In order for a wolfdog to be born, a domesticated dog and a wolf have to mate. The combination of these 2 means that the dog can be kept as a pet, but it will usually have a very aggressive temperament. However, they can easily be tamed like domesticated dogs or even used as guard dogs if they go through a rigorous training regimen.

What worries me, is that they would be found in shelters after the novelty is over and would be eunthinzed. I think the matting of a domestic dog and a wolf is a very bad idea.
