Wolf Dogs by definition cannot be AKC certified, nor can any mix for that matter. Didn't do as much research as you thought you did?

My friend has a dog that looks nothing like it's part wolf. You'd never know to look at him. But he is part wolf. (I've seen both parents.) He looks like a regular mutt but there are some telltale signs if you look at his paws or his body build, etc. Sometimes their looks resemble the dog parent, not the wolf. I don't think you can just eyeball a dog and say, "That dog isn't half (or 3/4 or whatever) wolf."

@weirdKid1989 Nah, just husky x shep. Some of us have spent A LOT of time working with wolves and hybrids and know a high content when we see it. Your dog, while undoubtedly beautiful (so jealous here) isn't a hybrid.

@Sassywolf222 They don't cover nearly enough of a gene pool (many, many breeds are not included) and since MANY breeds share the same markers due to similar origins and mixed breed origins the tests are still invalid. Additionally wolves possess nearly all the genetic markers present in domestic dogs-where do you think dogs got them? You can't test for wolf content.

@skuruhai001 Because it's a pure dog?

You call that a wolfdog? yeah... okay... e.e

Only very recently did a test become available to the public (not available thru vets either) that can actually determine if an animal has recent wolf heritage. BUT it cannot (and there is currently NO test that can) tell you how much wolf is in that animal. From a basic phenotype...you have a dog.

@PhamousSilver, No. Czech and I believe Saarloos wolfdogs are, considering they are a set breed with a set standard (and not considered true wolfdogs since they are so many generations away from a pure wolf). Actual "American" wolfdog crosses are not allowed.

@weirdKid1989 And that's a load of BS. Only very recently did a test become available to the public (not available thru vets either) that can actually determine if an animal has recent wolf heritage. BUT it cannot (and there is currently NO test that can) tell you how much wolf is in that animal. From a basic phenotype...you have a dog. A very handsome boy, but a dog nonetheless. :)

What's with people on youtube telling others what breed their dogs are? It's really stupid and annoying.
