ooooh he is so cute. if i where to live in the usa i woud adopt him. if i coud. but i live in sweden. i hope he is doing alrigth. keep the good work up.
Amazing, when someone labels a dog a wolf or wolfdog its condemned to live its life at these rescues, or be killed. Thats a dog, I dont see any wolf characteristics at all.
@two3lights If there is any wolf genetics in that dog there is so little as to not leave any physical appearance. You see unlike those who are ignorant enough to fall for the labels and claims I know the last time wolves were available to the public in the US without a federal permit was when the fur farms in Canada closed in the 50s, during the 70s they became a protected species . After 5 generations of mixing with dogs there is no wolf genetics left. Do the math that was a long time ago.
@SHvar - True, but that is legally. There are still pups taken and sold not on the mainstream :/ Also some "wolf-dog" breeders were able to keep enough stock with strong blood for it not to be very diluted even at this point.
@two3lights Where are pups taken from? Come on stop believing the crap about dogs being staked out to breed with wolves, pups being taken from their dens and raised then sold blackmarket. The wolfdogs today have not had wolf mixed in their bloodlines in many generations, the people who breed them (some of them) breed wolfdogs to wolfdogs then breed the most wolfish puppies, after 5 generations of wolfdog to wolfdog or dog mixed in there is no more wolf genetics present than a poodle.
@two3lights After 5 generations of breeds being mixed the first breeds involved are no longer present, or barely present, after another generation the oldest breed is now completely gone in the mix. Common sense tells me that the wolves were bred into these mixes in the 1950s, so its now almost 6 decades gone past, for dogs commonly thats 20-30 generations of breeding, you know they werent inbreeding them all of this time, there is no wolf left. Dogs with a wolf ancestor and wolfish looks
@SHvar relax sheesh. I live in up north Wi. Some people have wolfs up here. Usually found by hunters. I'm not even talking about this specific mutt anymore. I'm just saying I know people who do have true wolfs and wolf dogs that bred with the farm or stable pooch is all.
@two3lights You actually believe those people when they tell you that? Wow, no wonder so many dogs are shot by hunters that are after coyotes and wolves.
@two3lights Your right, Im passionate about the truth being told, too many use their dog as an ego boost and call them wolves or wolfdogs when they arent. You see I dont fall for the claims because I know the truth.
@SHvar Well yea, I see what your saying, I really do. I know the 2 people that I knew that had a wolf or wolf mutt locked in a kennel/run way up north were not the vast majority of people out there who have "so called hybrids". Looking at the big picture I get it. Like if you killed my ferret for fur because it's nearly almost a mink but totally not at all. Yea I prolly don't make sense. I have a lab, a Pyrenees/boxer and a unidentifiable mutt so I make no claims as an expert on these things.
@two3lights These people miss the point, they should be proud of having a beautiful dog that wants to be a part of their life, anything wolf does not want a human in their pack, they see a humans as a supplier of food and something to be nervous of, and respect or fear.
@SHvar Nothing about that dog says wolf, everything about its appearance says northern breed dog. The chest is wrong, the legs are wrong, the eyes, ears, head shape, feet, tail, body build, all say dog. By looking around this website 99% of people here wouldnt know a wolf from a German shepard, a husky, a malamute, or a border collie mixbreed.
When you have northern breed dogs you see the obvious differences, and the wild natural dog behaviors that get them labeled as wolf/wolfdogs.
I want him! I truly want to adopt him!!! He is so beautifully adorable and just oh words cannot describe him!!! Your work is magnificent! Seriously, if you ever entertain adoption requests, please let me know!!!!
what a beautiful wolf-dog! and really big too. Hes like the most beautiful wolf-dog ive ever seen! how socialized is he now? and im saving up money to give to an animal sanctuary and i think ill give it to this one. cause this is a goos sanctuary.
he look wolf mother mix with Husky dog seem that I think..Husky always bark howling but wolf never bark at all. my dog is wolf mix cross and he never bark at all just howling whole time.
Hope you guys take donations. Because I've been saving a $1,000 dollars to give to any wildlife organization I think is worth it. If so, return this comment and I'll periodically check it. I was saved by a wolf-dog once, so I feel that it's important to preserve wolves before they disapear from the wold we call home.
@Proudwolf99 We would be interested in hearing of your experience. Our mailing address is mission wolf po. box 1211 WestCliffe, Co. 81252. Thank You Sincerely for your offer. Your friends at MW
@GundamDeathScythe11 - We have a Coyote/Foxhound X. (Confirmed through DNA testing). When we rescued her, I immediately knew she was a coy-dog. Unless someone is very experienced AND has the resources needed to care for a coy-dog, or wolf-dog, stay away from them. I've got way too many sad stories w/horrible outcomes because of improper handling. Our girl is now 15 yrs old, and as much as we love her, it has been no picnic. Headstrong, wary, aggressive,challenging us at every turn.......
sorry about the username. its my sisters. mine messed up. Anuke is my wolf-dog and hes HUGE because hes mostly wolf. me and my dad live around wolves and elk. Anuke and i are best freinds and we patrol our land to keep hunters out. Anuke is always shy and growls when he meets new people. we found him in a wolf trap on our farm and took him in. i love that BIG fur ball.
He has the conformation of an Akita as well as Akita ears. Notice he is very straight in the stifle; wolves tend to have much more rear angulation. Beautiful animal, beautifully done!
oh my goodness that's amazing. How he quickly went from food to intreast and how quickly he took food from the camera man. What you are doing is wonderful and I shall aplode you
@Darkspell19 hes not an actuall wolf hes a wolf dog. People are allowd to have them as pets with a certain licence. But you also need a grip of land and you have to give them constant attention. They can still be dangerouse like a wolf. And yes he is a beautiful animal i agree with you all i love his furr color.
looks like you guys do some good work with them, ive delt with dogs , horse and wildlife before and once that trust is gone and their scared its very very hard to fix it, espeically with wild animals, i like it
Each state is different, most do not allow them as pets, then you have to check city laws, each city has a law different than the next. I know it is legal in L.A.. Regardless it takes a lot to own this kind of animal. They can be a tough keep. We dont recommend them- as many people have a challenge with domestic dogs.
my brother had a half wolf for a long time near Canton, Ohio, so I am sure they are legal there. It intimidated me, so I would never try to touch him. Occasionally he would get loose and the police would call them to come get their dog. He looked very wolf. He was good in their family, but since I only visited a few times a year, I was only tolerated.
Great video I visited you guys over the summer and met merlin I heard he pasted away, is that true? hope fully i can volunteer over the summer im moving up there next weekend
WOW! Luke is freaking huge!!! Holy cow, he's so beautiful! It's amazing what you guys are doing. :} Do you know what he's mixed with? I'm guessing he's mostly wolf due to his size and behavior, but he kind of looks like he's mixed with an Alaskan Malamute or a Husky, maybe even with something else.
@VicGord Actually Luke would not be a good family pet. That is how Mission:Wolf was founded because of the reality that wolf dogs are not good family animals or pets for that matter.
My dog snowball looks like a wolf but she is a pure bred American Eskimo Dog. Lots of pure Bred dogs can look like wolves half the time but they are not. And you are right about wolf dogs not being very good pets. Snowball can be very shy but she isn't much anymore, just around new people. But she will growl at them alot. Most likley it's becuase she is protecting her family and loved ones. =P
@Whitewolfz100 Thanks for the great comments! Sounds like you have found the dream! A dog breed that looks like a wolf but is a domestic dog breed! And a breed seasoned with the spice of behavior like the wolf as you said with the "shyness" It can be difficult enough to care for these kinds of dogs let alone wolves.......Anyway you know what I mean!!! Thanks Again!!!
Wolfdogs really aren't the best pets. I used to have one, it was rescued from some criminal's house. It takes a lot to care for them but we somehow managed to keep it alive. I loved it like a brother but I wouldn't get another one.
Ohhhh! ^.^ Luke reminds me of Seth! hehehe :D he's sooooo cute! I pet a real wolf once and it was very gentle, but yes I don't think they should be pets =[ wouldn't work out with guests over...
Wolf Dogs are really not good pets, you even saw the wolf dog was shy and skiddish. That animal would choose not to be there if it were up to it. Luke is not or ever will be a pet. We are working to make him feel at home and comfortabe. Not trying to make a pet out of him.
@423goku The wolf dog Luke is living at the Mission:Wolf sanctuary where he is cared for by people. He is not trained to hunt or do wild wolf behaviors. And he will never be released in to the wild.. Hope that answers your question!
I encourage you to think about why Jesus was born into this world. He said "I came to give my life as a ransom". So, Jesus was born to die on the cross as a ransom for our sins. Also, let's remember the purpose of His birth, death and resurrection. It was for you and me...for our redemption.
I dont understand. you are teaching this animal to be rewarded when touched by humans? is that your goal? because to me, that would be crippling the animal. how is he supposed to learn how to hunt in the wild if he used to being pampered and pet all day long? I dont mean to be mean, just curious.
wait.. if that wolf is so big.. imagine the Dire wolves back from the Ice Age era.. apparently they were twice the size of wolves that coexist with us currently.. jesus christ.
FUNNY!!! Thanks for sharing, there is no reason to dress up in good clothes when your daily job is hauling fence, digging up ground mesh or cutting up a 100 cow to feed 30 plus wolves.
Last week I just happened by the butchering scene and got blood sprayed on my new Louis Vuitton, I was Mortified!
god bless louis vuitton the best producer of outdoor equipment. Jon Krakauer wear it on the top of Chomulungma! Best backpackers i´ve ever seen. So stylish, ... When i look at you guys, i think your coiffeur is Patrick Cameron!? - lmao -
Food is Very powerful. I once had 5min to decide if I wanted a hound. He had a fear of men and wouldn't come near me. I grabbed pretzels off the breeders kitchen table, and held one in my hand but he wasn't going for it. Put a piece down and backed up and he came and got it. Did that 3 more times and then sat with one in my hand. He came over, took it and ate it there. I gave him a hug and took him, and we were buds for the 12 more yrs he lived. Getting a dog over fears makes you a Best friend.
I have more stories curing fears in hounds, from super sound sensitive ones who literally became Bomb proof and I thought they went deaf. Letting them see You make the sound.
I felt SO bad for a junk yard dog who wouldn't come eat the chicken breasts being fed to others because I was there. I took one squatted down and offered. The owner said it was a waste of time. Soon the dog came closer and ate from my hand. My young nephews taught me that getting down to their level wasn't intimidating.
That is adorable! Definitely a mix since he barks. Beautiful. Thank you for the work you do. Wolves are amazing creatures so misunderstood. We can all take a lesson from their behavior/natural instincts! They are all about love, respect, order, trust, and family! God bless you for the work you are doing!
very beautiful wolf dog, i agree with your mission, im hoping one day to go to teh wolf park in indiania, its always been my dream to see a wolf in person

Wolf Dogs are really not good pets, you even saw the wolf dog was shy and skiddish. That animal would choose not to be there if it were up to it. Luke is not or ever will be a pet. We are working to make him feel at home and comfortabe. Not trying to make a pet out of him.

@missionwolfsanctuary is the wolf in a pack because it doesn't look like it was train to hunt or do wolf stuff

@423goku The wolf dog Luke is living at the Mission:Wolf sanctuary where he is cared for by people. He is not trained to hunt or do wild wolf behaviors. And he will never be released in to the wild.. Hope that answers your question!

I encourage you to think about why Jesus was born into this world. He said "I came to give my life as a ransom". So, Jesus was born to die on the cross as a ransom for our sins. Also, let's remember the purpose of His birth, death and resurrection. It was for you and me...for our redemption.

it wont be hunting. it is a wolf dog.. not fully wolf.

I dont understand. you are teaching this animal to be rewarded when touched by humans? is that your goal? because to me, that would be crippling the animal. how is he supposed to learn how to hunt in the wild if he used to being pampered and pet all day long? I dont mean to be mean, just curious.

wait.. if that wolf is so big.. imagine the Dire wolves back from the Ice Age era.. apparently they were twice the size of wolves that coexist with us currently.. jesus christ.

FUNNY!!! Thanks for sharing, there is no reason to dress up in good clothes when your daily job is hauling fence, digging up ground mesh or cutting up a 100 cow to feed 30 plus wolves.

Food is Very powerful. I once had 5min to decide if I wanted a hound. He had a fear of men and wouldn't come near me. I grabbed pretzels off the breeders kitchen table, and held one in my hand but he wasn't going for it. Put a piece down and backed up and he came and got it. Did that 3 more times and then sat with one in my hand. He came over, took it and ate it there. I gave him a hug and took him, and we were buds for the 12 more yrs he lived. Getting a dog over fears makes you a Best friend.

I have more stories curing fears in hounds, from super sound sensitive ones who literally became Bomb proof and I thought they went deaf. Letting them see You make the sound.
I felt SO bad for a junk yard dog who wouldn't come eat the chicken breasts being fed to others because I was there. I took one squatted down and offered. The owner said it was a waste of time. Soon the dog came closer and ate from my hand. My young nephews taught me that getting down to their level wasn't intimidating.

That is adorable! Definitely a mix since he barks. Beautiful. Thank you for the work you do. Wolves are amazing creatures so misunderstood. We can all take a lesson from their behavior/natural instincts! They are all about love, respect, order, trust, and family! God bless you for the work you are doing!
