[quote name='Seijun']He probably thinks it is part wolf because he probably thinks one of the parents was a wolf or part wolf. People will believe anything. I once met a lady with a dog she said was 98% wolf even though it looked 98% rottweiler.
The newest trend has been Pit Bull/wolf and Rottweiler/wolf mixes. These wolfdogs are bred and sold by breeders as being good guard or "attack" dogs. It is doubtful however that any actually have wolf in them. Wolves are shy and like to avoid fighting. A true Pit Bull or Rottweiler/wolf mix would most likely not make a good guard or attack dog and would not be marketable as such. All of the Pit Bull/wolf mixes and Rottweiler/wolf mixes I have seen thus far were most likely mixed with Husky or German shepherd mixes (like the one you saw), not wolves.

You talk like you have the slightest clue as to how you can identify if a dog has wolf in it. I live in new mexico and have been breeding wolf hybrids for 15 years. I have just recently begun crossing them with rotties.You are correct about a wolf being shy and avoiding confrontation(BUT) put one on a leash and take it for a walk and see what happens...(They will put themselves between you and anything that comes up to you Cause after all you are the alfa) Rotty and wolf mixess, I have kept one out of eleven and the only things that look wolf on her is the long neck and the extra set of K-9s. The K-9s are the #1 way to tell if a dog has any amount of wolf in them worth talking about. So with that being said unless you are willing to piss off someones dog enough for them to bear their teeth at you and show you the wolf in them, Or you can continue being little pansies and logging on to your web site so you can talk trash about them or you could even do the real outlandish and maybe educate yourself a little bit more about recognising mixed breeds.
