• Wolf Hybrids ( An insi... For information in regards to owning one, I share my experience.
This wolf hybrid (Raven) passed away in November of 2015 (after this video was published). For two decades, no less than 20 different dogs were adopted to my home of two acres from "kill" shelters. But having this journey for 12 years with Raven is one that shaped my life and one that I will never forget. They teach you to live in the moment and to be honest about your current mental state. Although I wouldn't recommend it to everyone, there is a reason why the Native Americans saw them as great teachers.
I got him from an exotic pet shop in Brunswick, Ohio and he was listed as 90% Timber/Tundra and the rest German Shepherd. There is no way he was that high of percentage but unfortunately I had him before genetic testing became available. I would have estimated him at around 60%. I can tell you from my vast experience dealing with a lot of large gaurd dogs that he had wolf-like traits and my vet who also worked on wolf farms, agreed.
There are a few owners of wolf-hybrids on KZfaq that take themselves way too seriously and suggest that having one as a companion cannot be done and will talk down to the viewers with a superiority complex. It CAN be done but takes A LOT of sacrifices to lifestyle and a willingness to understand that patience is a must and the ability to keep ones temper and ego in check is also a must.
Side note: The propane tank that a lot of you are triggered about was during the first year I bought this house and I had to go through that winter without a furnace. I can tell you during early February when it's sub zero outside, electric space heaters don't cut it lol.
