This is one of two little girls my sweetie's niece has... We are thinking about it. They are mutts, the DNA testing comes back with seven different breeds of dogs. And 25% of unknown dog DNA... this 25% DNA could be wolf. I know from experience with wolves you have to socialise them arould strangers early so they are not timid around strangers when they are adults. Is this 25% dna wolf? No way to tell it's DNA that doesn't have a pattern the system knows.
I have warm memories of a couple of adult wolves doing their best to be lap puppies in a thunderstorm. There was no squabbling over who got to be close to me... I had two wolf heads being pushed into my chest in the hopes I would protect them. So I held them close and comforted them. My malamutes did the same thing in thunderstorms.

Just realized that was like 45 years ago - about 1975. Middle Eastern members of his college soccer team were kicking the stray around the field. My brother took it to the dorm then home. All I can remember was it bit a neighbor and then it was gone. Was a good looking pup from what I can recall.
The eyes have it -- but those ears! How old id she here?
Over sixty years ago, Mom told Dad she wanted a new parakeet. Dutiful husband that he was, he stopped at a pet store in town and found the color and gender she wanted. In the front window was a box full of puppies, half Fox Terrier and half German Spitz (American Eskimo Dog). Most of them were marked like the Terrier and snoozed in their box. The last one was a cute, blonde fluff ball with a black muzzle and black rims around her ears. She was awake and doing her best to be noticed -- not by anyone, just by Dad. He lifted her out of the box and she burrowed into his coat. Dad brought home two new pets that evening.
She was the smartest dog we ever had. It took Mom less than a day to housebreak her and about two hours to teach her the road was out of bounds (we had lost the previous dog to a car). She was the dog I grew up with, raised a German Shepherd, a Poodle and a Corgi. She lived to be 19; Dad cried when he had to have her put down.

Yeah you are seem as the leader of the pack... so they look to you for comfort when things happen they don't understand. The wolves were neat to interact with. You could see the pecking order in the pack... that wasn't there with Sky and Tundra... they would try to push the other out of the way... till one of the mom's growls at them. I found with them it was as simple as growling and curling my lips and showing teeth at then... they would start the "Oh you don't really mean that..." and the change what they were doing. There was no argument who the pack alphas were.
