Thread: Wolf hybrids?

I'm so glad that you made an Educated Decision Cc.
While exotics are so beautiful and so many want something " special " very few actually research and ask like you did .

Most just Impulse buy and end up scammed or so in debt with medical bills from " Special " diseases or Treatments needed to maintain their Health. Among other Expenses.

Congrats on your Recent Marriage and may I recommend that you take a year or so with your marriage and save up for a Dog or other pet that you & Hubby can devote about 14-20 years to. Most Healthy, well taken care of Dogs , live to at least 14 years, barring any accidents or Diseases.

Purebreds (if truly Purebred with Pedigree ) are expensive, Hybrids ( Mixed breeds ) are also expensive and usually have traits of the two mixed purebreds, which also can have problems down the line.

When it comes to adding to your Family and Getting a Pet is Adding to your family, accepting a lifelong ( theirs ) responsibility to take care of it . Just ask CW and her getting up every morning with her Beautiful Diabetic Dog ..

It's not something light to just go do . Puppies are Cute, but they grow into dogs in 1 year, full Growth ( other than overweight ) in 2 years . So when you are ready for an Addition to your family , think Size & Care, have pet insurance and Vet insurance.

Possibly think of a Rescue pet , one that is Fixed, temperament assessed, all shots and usually about $150 out the door. One that needs your love and a loving home allot more than some Backyard Breeder needs the $400-$600 for that " Mutt ". Oops Mix of two or more breeds or Cross/inbreeds .. Real Word is MUTT !

Thanks so much BG! We actually already have a cat and small dog...our next pet will be his English Bulldog. My big dog will be a few years down the line. We definitely don't have the funding or time to devote to an animals that needs so much attention and training. Nor do we have the room! But yes I don't want to end up with something wild...I guess I didn't think of the hybrids as truly wild dogs until I read a few articles on them. I already hate the stories I hear about these people that live in urban areas, sometimes apartments that take in tigers and lions and other exotic animals. It's always a sad day...

Even here in Ohio, there was a man that had these beautiful rare tigers and other exotic animals that he let loose before committing suicide. The images were sickening. Those beautiful animals killed because of a poor decision...I wouldn't want to get a wild animal and run the risk of it getting loose and being mistaken for something it's not then getting shot..

My fiance grew up with a wolf/huskie mix. He said it was the most laid back faithful and loyal dog he ever met. Little kids could sit on him and tug on his ears and fur and he wouldn't even blink an eye. Unfortunately, he was hit by a milk truck when he ran into the road one day.

Oh no...
