[C9crowly]

Do you know any wolf hybrid breeders in canada? I am very interested in getting a wolf hybrid. Please answer my question in your next video or if it is easier for you, you can pm me answering my question Thank you.

[Adcp2010]

How much does your wolf dog eat a day?

[brownylatino714]

i like your wofldog looks soooooo beautiful

[bobo441]

Nice vid.How do these animals treat strangers?Not sure if you will know,but,in your opinion,how do you think they compare with the Tamaskan dog?Thanks.

[SnowyAmaterasu]

Actually it isnt false information. Ive gotten a lot of interesting facts and theories alike from a 25+ year experienced researcher. Youre thinking more in terms of dogs not wolves, they are very different. Actually the woman Ive spoken to theorizes that wolves are more felines than canines due to their common ancestor with lions which you can see on wolves, the eyes and mane-like fur around the neck. Also their bone structure is more similar to that of a cats than a dogs.

[OurTVproductions]

@SnowyAmaterasu: as I said, I know absolutely no breeder nor 'hybrid wolfdog' owner who feeds their animal raw meat. Raw veggies and some meat perhaps but not as a strict diet. Also, theories are one thing and direct experience is another. I've never known anyone to have ill wolves from a lack of raw meat - besides, who can afford that! But again, as I said before - do as you've learned!

@OurTVproductions

*wolves.

[bobo441]

@SnowyAmaterasu

Wolfs don't not share common ancestors with lions.Lions shared a common ancestor with other cats like tigers and leopards.

@SnowyAmaterasu

She is an idiot, and probably that looney tune in Sierra Blanca Tx.

If you think Wolves are related to Lions you belong with her.

Hi - I have a wolf dog of my own and am liking your vids very much. And I'm going to check out that book ASAP. I do have questions - How much does Gambit weigh? Mine is going to be 8 months in a day and is currently 60 pounds - So I'm trying to estimate how much he'll weigh once he's 2. And -- I'd really like to train mine to walk with me off leash but I don't really know how about I should go with it.

[ZeeTasdemir]

(sorry didn't fit in one) We live in your regular town so there are streets and cars and what not -So I didn't know if maybe I should drive out somewhere where there aren't any cars for a good couple acres and test it there. He follows me around normally so I don't think he'll go too far. For instance at the dog park when he is off leash -- He usually just sits with me on the bench and watches the other dogs play.

[tassanaburrfoot]

Gambit is just absolutely beautiful. Do you have any new videos of him? This vid was posted months ago.

I just think he's beautiful.

[ShadowValentine]

Damn dude, you got a nice wolf! Gambit looks so cool. ^^ 5/5

[kyokunnichi]

If for instence i get a wolf dog and my sisters (who is living with me) gets a German Shepard, would they get along well? would i have to do something special, or something along those lines? And what would happen if she got a female german shepard and i got a male wolf dog?

[robbrown20]

hey just wanna say that i think u are a smart guy and u seem to really love ur dogs i just got one question i have two wolf mixes(very good and social dogs )(most of the time) just wondering i have always tookin the stand as alpha and they both resepct that i havent hear u talk much about that in all the recerch i did before i got my second say that u have to be alpha do u argee

[OurTVproductions]

I think you'll become the alpha regardless and I wouldn't worry too much about that. They, the wolves, have their own heirchy to work out but they should know that you're their master. Just remember that they are animals of a higher intelligence and they really do wish to please us and they definitely operate on a respect type of level - they want their master's respect and it is a bit different than regulard dogs.

i.e. I can simply glare at my wolf and he will back off if he's being bad.

[brad288]

what do you think about the saarloos wolfhound?

[LoveofAphrodite]

A wolf hybrid pup that im looking into getting is about 40% wolf and 60% siberian husky, I'd like to know what a healthy diet would be for them?

[yarelip0192]

how many tricks can you teach a wolf hybrid? can they learn 100 commands/tricks

[Brandmooo]

I've read from different breeders that its hard to keep them under control in the city, and I noticed in your first video you said you live downtown. Do you think it would be easier to have one in the country? I was also wondering about feeding them. A breeder has also said to feed them raw meat, fur bones and stuff like that, that they would get in the wild, what would you suggest?

[SnowyAmaterasu]

Hi Brandmooo,

Ive seen a lot of people as about the raw diet method. I wouldnt recommend it at all. Wolves are generally healthier than dogs but they are born with a specific enzyme that makes them prone to worms, which could be passed into the cubs depending on generation. So raw meat is a definite no. Cooked meat is ok, but shouldnt be their primary source of food. Bones and rawhides are ok. Hope I helped you.

-Snowy

[OurTVproductions]

@ SnowyAmaterasu, I agree - not sure where this idea of feeding them raw meat came from but it's definitely a bad idea for reasons you pointed out (worms).

Besides, they're not tigers folks! lol

[tackle4444]

can you feed them soy?

[Lifehunger]

Dude, that's just wrong to feed a dog soy as a diet. Dog's are naturally inclined to meat, don't torture your dog like that.

[OurTVproductions]

why do you ask about soy? And no, don't feed your wolf raw meat. I go with kibbles n bits. They seem to enjoy it and it puts the weight on them as they can be quite the picky eater at times.

[cindy23323]

@OurTVproductions You are giving people false information, raw is great for them, kibble n bits is bloat in a bag. And guess whats in it Soy, so your not paying attention to what your feeding your animal. You do not want to feed them a cheap kibble that has corn, soy or wheat in it. Kibles n bits has all three.

[OurTVproductions]

@cindy23323 Then give your animal steak? I'm just sharing information I have obtained through others and through personal experience. NOT ONE breeder I know feeds their 'hybrids' raw steak - at least not on as a regular diet. Dog food is fine. My wolves have never had a problem with their dog food. Although we should note that whenever one changes an animal's diet there's bound to be at least a slight reaction. I.e., your animal doesn't want to eat much for a couple of days.

[cindy23323]

@OurTVproductions They are doing fine on it because your animals are not wolves, they are not even high content wolfdogs. Hc animals need that type of food along with raw or they will slowly starve to death, they will constantly have diareha (sp)

[LilRed1108]

OMGosh he is so pretty! I do have a few qusetions. First, my husband is in the military, how would a wolf dog handle moving around every couple of years? Second I have 2 cats. If he is raised w/ them would he look @ them as part of the pack? Also being military, we are not always going to have a nice yard, would he be able to handle "apartment life" if taken on long walks (where they would be exposed to other dogs)? TY for your vids. they have really helped me deside that this is the dog i want

[psychosirkibs]

@LilRed1108 I feel bad hijacking this question, but from what I've read, it probably isn't wise to get a wolf dog if you do not always plan on having the space to take him out. I'm also pretty sure moving around constantly isn't good for most dogs, its bad enough with people lol. As far as raising it with the cats though, it should be ok, but again I am no expert so I would just do the research like I've been doing because I might get one too.

[LilRed1108]

You're not hijacking the question at all i needed to know the truth. My husband really wants the wolf-dog but the moving around part is what worried me the most. With the research I've done I'll prob wait on getting this breed till my husband retires from the military. Thanx!

[OurTVproductions]

Personally, I don't see moving around too much as a problem as these animals learn to associate YOU and your family as their family/pack - not so much what house/land/state they're in.... just us, we are their family.

It might be best to wait until your husband is retired, but I can't really give you suggestion to go either way! But i will remind you that these are not the monsters they've been made out to be but they are different, more primal, and require more attention.

[OurTVproductions]

just keep in mind that different animals have different temperaments. I have two wolves and they are night and day from one another. One is an inside animal and gets along well with the cats in the yard, the small dogs that've been in the house and around him ont the ground - he's just wonderful... whereas my other wolf is an outside wolf, a true lonewolf and he fights for alpha status all the time, very primal in behavior, and has already killed 2 cats and handful of mice that've come into....

[OurTVproductions]

I think the wolfdog could do well but chances are he's gonna take to you more than your husband becaues you'll be around him more and feeding him, etc, doing things that let him know that you're his master.

Moving around, as I said below, isn't so bad - no worse than any other animal except you have to be responsible - make sure you have a secure fencing area and that you've read up a little bit on training. You're already seeking info which I think is wonderful but I suggest 'Wolfdog A-Z"

[Autumnvicky]

Grooming, bathing, do wolfdogs require much? how does one go about bathing a wolfdog? Can they be trained to handle that as well as any dog?

[OurTVproductions]

Easy to bath, average bathing as any other dog - but they do have thicker fur and it may take longer.

Also, some times they can get REALLY spooked by the water and the experience so you must be gentle and delicate here so you don't get bitten! Talk to it, if you have some treats, keep it conscious with you. Once you see those pupils go all black - you've got a dangerous animal and it can explode...

in fact, the more I think of it the more I see the importance of strongly addressing this

[Scythx459]

i had a question, do wolfdogs have hair or fur. my understanding is that dogs with fur shed and dogs with hair dont. is that true?

[OurTVproductions]

hmmm, not sure of the scientific answer but I would say more of a fur, when you grab their hides you kind of can't help but get the idea of why hunters used their furs to shelter them from the harsh winter weather.

They have thick fur, they do need some good bathing but nothing more than any other dog I'd say. Although their fur is REALLY thick so bathing is a pain in the butt!

And finally, YES, WOLVES SHED!

I've gotta say that again,

WOLVES SHED FUR!

You have no idea how much!

[psychosirkibs]

@OurTVproductions i thought they molt once or twice a year...at least thats what i read somewhere. They have a coat for the seasons and it is supposed to be more of a hair because you cannot shave a wolf/wolf dog like you would with other dogs because they have hairs that function to feel around their bodies like a sensor, so shaving or brushing them improperly could harm them.

I'm no wolf expert, but thats just things I have read and seen.

[OurTVproductions]

Psychosirkibs: This is true. They especially begin to build their coat approaching the fall/winter months and this last until early/late spring.

They shed a great deal during this time, seriously, you could make pillows with one sitting and combing. The trick is to keep combing them about once a week if you can.

And also, yes, they have three different layers of fur. One does ack as limbic like sensory organ. Another layer is middle length, dog like and the third is THICK fur.

[cowgirl22hannah]

Can they be kept just as house pets as long as there is play and plenty of walks? We just moved to a suburb area and our dogs can get out of the yard we have now so I wouldn't leave one of these out.

[OurTVproductions]

Yes, my wolves are inside. Mind your cubs temperment when you go to pick yours out. Don't go for the one all full of piss and vinegar! Trust me! And don't go for the biggest meanest or baddest looking one either. Gambit, as is very chilled out and good with other animals, etc, just over all a real joy to have as a pet he really is. But I as a cub, he was the last of the litter believe it or not! and he was emotionally alert but reserved a little, yet, still curious and playful :

[LilRed1108]

Thank you so much! Then only other thing I worry about is the laws from state to state...do you think that would create problems for us when it came time to get tags and what not?

[annie46664]

Hey! As for the KISSING ~ you really do need to either DIY a Hulda Clark-type ZAPPER, or just invest in a ready made one.

I'm sure that you're aware that 99.99% of the animal kingdom produce copious amounts of Vit C naturally, to ward off disease & infection etc. ~ but bats, guinea pigs & us humans (many of whom are also 'pigs') DON'T produce any, so have to feed it to our systems.

A ZAPPER will help you kill all parasites & critters instantly. I only know of 1 fully automatic ZAPPER. :)

SA

[OurTVproductions]

Really? Interesting... I'm not familiar with the ZAPPER, how does this work?

[annie46664]

OMG! This is LOVE at first sight. :)

I so envy you (in the nicest way possible) the ability to demonstrate & exchange your physical affection & mutual respect.

You have to read Suzy Ward's latest, tiny book "My Communications With Animals" ~ it's mind blowing & shall surely teach you a lot about your adorable Gambit.

matthewbooks . com

Please give Gambit the biggest HUG from @nnie in South Africa. :)

[OurTVproductions]

Thanks! And thanks for sharing the reading material - the more the better. A book that's been pretty good to me for hybrid wolves have been "Wolfdogs A - Z" - excellent introduction and more.

Thanks again for the lovely comment :)

[annie46664]

You're most welcome!

Suzy's little book is for every animal lover ~ as she relates her channeling experiences (mind talk) with many of her fur-children. You'll be amazed at how 'human' their thoughts are & how their primary guardian angel in Heaven (Nirvana) constantly guides, teaches, nurtures & coaches them on everything he/she/it feels they ought to know to get by as best & happily as possible ~ & especially, on how to adapt to human behaviour & living habits. You'll LOVE IT!

[OurTVproductions]

Actually I don't trust people who claim to know what a dog is thinking or how it operates as a spirit/soul/energy in this universe and more so, in relation to other human beings. We're complex creatures, that much I am aware of. SO, unless I am wrong, it sounds like you're suggesting I take my cues on how to raise my wolves from an animal psychic who claims to know how an animal communicates to a higher powers in order to adapt and survive... did I get that right?

If so, no offense intended

[annie46664]

Oh no! I've described this book badly & I'm so sorry about that. It's not something to help you to raise your magnificent wolfdogs, but just cute. Suzy has spent many years giving a loving home to abandoned dogs, they too are her children, she adores animals, especially dogs, and would never do nor write anything that would give the wrong impression or be harmful to any creature in any way. I just thought that you may find it as much fun to read as I did. That's all.

Take care!

[OurTVproductions]

Ohh.. well I apologize for sounding so rude! Indeed, I will look into her book and thanks for posting it as a reference for us all!

Apologies for the miscommunication again!

btw, do you happen to own a wolfdog, yourself?

[annie46664]

No need to apologize ~ really!

Unfortunately I dont have any dog, my garden is way too small, but I have a large troop of monkeys that visit every other day, & 2 pet cockatiels. Ive always been fascinated by wolves and all wild canines throughout the world. I love the entire animal kingdom & so wish that humans would treat them with much more love & respect than they so often do.

Love & LIGHT to you & your fury friends.

[OurTVproductions]

Wow, that sounds so nice!! That is an excellent perspective and I completely agree with you, they are treated as if they weren't living conscious creatures. A lot of people think they are ready to take on an exotic pet and they soon realize that they're in over their head and they can either get rid of the animal, up their education, level patience, and work more with the animal, or the worst scenario, they hold on to the animals - continously mistreating them. It's better to have a goldfish!!
