a couple years ago we had a little girl from the next couinty mauled to death by her parents "pet" wolf.
be careful around her please. I personally dont think theyre very safe to have around kids. I feel that too much of their wild instinct is still there. she is pretty, but i wouldnt want her arou8nd my kids because id be afraid she might revert back to her wild instincts.
just my .02

the other thing that kind of amazes me is people readilly accept that wolves cross with dogs but yet coyotes arent capable of cross breeding with a domestic dog??? BS

Sunshine, A lot of people think like that. It all depends on how u raise them. I can fully understand that.
Coydogs are very capable of crossing. Theres a couple round here.

I don't kow if anyone does it anymore but there used to be some fella's that would sell you fox pen pups that had been handled from day one...I guess this is no different. She probably still has her instincts but if she's raised by humans from a pup she should be a good dog for someone oh....say....over 13

Also, most of the "wolf" incidents with children are from low content wolfdogs which are treated normal dogs, which is still not accentable. Plus most of the animals are chained and mistreated.

wouldnt a higher content wolfdog mean more wolf in it and more wild habits?

If you bottle raise them, they dont learn most of the wild habits from there parents. Because in the wild, they are "wild" and the learn those habits from there "wild" parents. Nether our pup's mother or father or grandmother or grandfather were wild. Most were bottle raised.

knowing what you know about wolfs, would you want it as a pet, regardless of how pretty it is?

I hear the same thing about the snakes I own. The snake is eight feet long and eats jumbo rats.. I still let my six year old daughter play with it, without supervision. It depends a lot on the animals personality. JMO
With that said, its always good to take precaution, whatever your doing.
