saarloos wolfdog - saarlooswolfhond & puppies

The Saarlooswolfhond (Dutch for "Saarloos Wolfdog") is a large dog with a relatively wolflike appearance and behavior, including strong pack instincts.
In 1921, Dutch breeder Leendert Saarloos started crossbreeding a German Shepherd Dog male to a female Eurasian Wolf (Canis lupus lupus). He aimed for an improved version of the German Shepherd Dog which was immune to distemper and succeeded insofar that the Saarlooswolfdog we know is a strong imposing dog, but they kept their wolflike characteristics: they are cautious, reserved and lack the ferocity to attack.
It is not the dog that Leendert Saarloos hoped to get. His theory was also proven wrong, as nearly all the first generation hybrids succumbed to distemper. Until he died in 1969 Leendert Saarloos was in full control over the breeding of his "European wolfdog".

Featuring a vast array of popular themes, such as the four seasons, water, animals, nature, adventure, travel and destinations ... set to music. FILLERS are always nice to look at, often quite amusing, the images can be programmed flexibly.

@PARRANOIZ3 So what? A real sled dog would need execise, a real shepherd dog, hunting dog or livestock guardian dog would need exercise too. Are you sure that you are not comparing them only with pet-dogs? Many dogs are difficult to handle because they are not suitable as simple pets.

cute!

[PARRANOIZ3]

they are different then all other dogs serioesly they need exersising or else they get bored they are not realy social you need to train them you shoud realy think about buying one they are realy difficult dogs excuse me for my english im dutch if you have anny questions just ask

[siberianlover369]

can they be obtained in NY (USA)? are they easy to train? are they socialable? and what are there excercise requirements? sorry 'bout all the questions, I'm just really curious

[OMWagghhh]

High percentage wolfdog hybrids are dangerous and difficult to train due to their strong primal instincts.. When bred with an already naturally intelligent breed and re-domesticated, wolf blood can be extremely helpful where trainability is concerned

[deadwood223]

Where are you getitng that from? If anything, adding a wolf into the working line would make the immediate generation much harder to train. Wolfdogs are notorious for hard to train.

[OMWagghhh]

Wolf blood is also bred into a lot of different working lines (and breeds as a whole!) to give the dog more of a loyal instinct, as well as making the puppy's extremely trainable.
