I have definitely had some "first hand knowledge" of a wolf hybrid
About 20 years ago my daughters current boy friend decided it would be
"cool" to get a wolf hybrid puppy. They brought one home that looked mainly
like
its husky half. Athena was only five weeks old when they got her. My
shepherd bitches mothered her. She grew up surrounded by and treated as a
German
Shepherd. Consequently she acted like a German Shepherd. I never detected
any wolf characteristics , except she did howl a lot. And when she had a
litter of puppies and she decided it was time to wean them, she would
regurgitate
her food for the pups. Why, you might ask, did she have pups??? Well, I
came home one snowy afternoon in December. (Yes, one of the few times it did
snow in Texas) As I was about to scurry into the house I heard strange noises
in the front yard. LO... There is Athena, tied to BIS 3X Sel Champion
Scharo's Spellbinder rom. And she is trying to drag him across 2 acres. Of
course no one is in sight. so there I am. In a light jacket-In a Snow storm.
-
NO boots No gloves. Holding on to Athena to protect my dog's private part
that he just had to stick in her. HE TIED HER FOR 45 MORE MINUTES. Was
anyone else around. O NO. Could anyone hear me yell. O NO. Was I upset? O
YES
Everyone claimed it was an accident, but I believed the "boyfriend" thought
it would be funny.Did we get Athena spayed O YES We kept her and got rid
of the boyfriend.
Anyway, family relations survived all that trauma. And Athena was an
excellent mother. (All the puppies looked like mainly like straight
shepherds.)
She did have one bad habit She would occasionally escape and take my Prime
Time daughter, Ch. Panache, with her and chase deer. I got several calls when
the neighbors saw them actually take down a deer one day.
Actually, Athena became a much loved member of the family. She was a house
dog, totally housebroken, and was obedience trained. The whole family
mourned when she died of kidney failure at age 7. HE was buried with honors
in the
shepherd graveyard.
