Beautiful! I'm new to this channel and enjoying it very much. I also feel like much of what's being said also applies to livestock guardian breeds that are kept as pets & companions: So many people thinking that if they're motivated enough to go to puppy training classes, they can keep a Great Pyrenees in a house-share, or even an apartment. That's crazy; much like wolfdogs, these breeds NEED their outside space to patrol, and run and play in. They also need "their" person present if they are bonded to a human; or if not (if kept in their original role as flock guardians), they greatly benefit from another dog to keep them company, as that's what they did for thousands of years: Guarding flock & property in teams or small groups. What I personally totally fell into (trap-wise) was owners' stories about how friendly and docile Estrela Mountain Dogs are (I live in Portugal) unless of course, you enter their property. Boy was I wrong: I only discovered later that there's basically 2 main types of them: One the gentle giant that may bark when strangers approach, but is very likely to take matters further, and two, the more nervous, prone to fear-based aggression, extremely suspicious kind that, even WITH socialization to anyone and everything, will at some point "flip their switch" during adolescence, and start going after people and other dogs, and sometimes nipping them (mostly pressure bites, but sometimes drawing blood). Oh, and being Mastiffs, they are also not at all easy to influence, let alone obedience-train. Oh, AND contrary to popular belief, their prey-drive can be quite high. My Estrela puppy was of the second type. Boy oh boy was raising her up to the 2 year mark tough! Then, around 3 years, she turned into this amazingly responsive, gentle, affectionate dog. Totally a 1-person dog bonded to me like Moira's boy's bonded to her. But if someone without experience in managing big, "aggressive" dogs would've bought my girl as a puppy... They would've run into trouble for sure during her adolescence. - I'm a former professional Schutzhund trainer and learned my trade training and looking after Rottweilers, and even for me, raising that Estrela through a seemingly unending puberty was tough. I hear that wolfdogs, too, mature very slowly (take up to 3 years?), so owners might have this phenomenon as well.

Thank you ❤

Loved watching this, I'm so proud of Moria and all she's done with Maeve.

Thanks for posting. The world needs more education about owning these animals 💕🇨🇦

Loves this, Moira and the babes are great.

I love your videos they teach me so much about wolf dogs I have been to the yamnuska wolf dog sanctuary you do a great job keeping the wolf dogs healthy happy and safe the wolf dogs are in great hands with all the great workers and Moira is also a great wolf dog owner

Great video 👍

Love this series! Moria is good for the wolfdog community, i wish she wouldn't exaggerate weight and food though. I've seen her say faelen is 160+ pounds and say Maeve is 130. And the amount of food she claims to feed also has to be exaggerated or she would have obese animals

How old are they? Both are beautiful. I love wolves 🐺 and I would trust them. I would love to go to the wolf sanctuary’s where I can love on them.

Are your two wolf dogs mixed and if so with what? How much wolf do they have? Are they friendly with your family and friends and neighbors?

Hello brand new to your channel I found out a year after getting a my Dusty l saw a post on the breeders Facebook that she said her last litter seemed to have some red wolf in her recent past…we live on Vancouver Island as she grew she still acted like your typical pup ..but there have been times where I wondered hmmm that seems a little questionable lol my question is how do you find out if your dog is wolf content

What kind are they?
