Wolf Dog, Wolfhound

history

Wolfhound - not quite the official name of not quite the usual breed of dogs. Not quite official, because this breed, strictly speaking, has not yet been recognized in any international organization, and even by the Russian Federation of Dogs. What is so unusual about this breed?

Even from the name, it is clear that wolfhounds are a mixture of dog and wolf. That is, it is not what the ancestors once had in the form of wolves and German Shepherd we've been mating together, and to this day the resulting dogs have a mate. No. In fact, each new individual, ideally, should come from mating between a dog and a wolf, although there are individuals who even in the 3rd generation showed superiority in the main properties (smell, mind, endurance, etc.) over ordinary dogs.

Accordingly, you can imagine what qualities a purebred wolfhound in the first generation brings. In fact, the idea is not new - in past centuries, and now similar breeds are in other places of the world. Volkosob is the Russian name for Russian dog and wolf hybrids, but the Czechoslovakian wolf dog and Sarlos' wolf dog are also known. Both, by the way, from crossing the German Shepherd with wolves.

Generally, positive results of such experiments are rare, as only about 5% of hybrids can be tamed by man - the remaining 95% are wild, aggressive, and can have developmental anomalies. Wolfhound, as a breed not yet fully marked officially, and therefore - not having an official standard, can boast of crossings not only with Shepherd but also with Siberian Huskies and Alaskan Malamute.

The breed of wolfhounds was created for military purposes, in the institute of internal troops of the city of Perm. The first offspring was received in 2000 from the wolf Naida, brought up by a hunter from an early age, and a German Shepherd named Baron. For a while, the existence of these dogs was not advertised, and they were used purely in various kinds of troops. However, around 2003 they became known to ordinary civilians. In places where a lot of endurance and excellent wolf instincts are required, the demand for wolfhound dogs is very high.

Wolfhound has a much more highly developed flair than the usual German Shepherd, albeit very capable. According to studies, in a confined space wolfhosob finds a person about 50 times faster than the same German Shepherd. Their scent is six times stronger. Currently, the state project to research, create, and population hybrids of wolves and dogs in Russia is closed.

Wolf Dog, Wolfhound history Wolfhound - not quite the official name of not quite the usual breed of dogs. Not quite official, because this breed, strictly speaking, has not yet been recognized in any international organization, and even by the Russian Federation of Dogs. What is so unusual about this breed?  Even from the name, it is clear that wolfhounds are a mixture of dog and wolf. That is, it is not what the ancestors once had in the form of wolves and German Shepherd we've been mating together, and to this day the resulting dogs have a mate. No. In fact, each new individual, ideally, should come from mating between a dog and a wolf, although there are individuals who even in the 3rd generation showed superiority in the main properties (smell, mind, endurance, etc.) over ordinary dogs.  Accordingly, you can imagine what qualities a purebred wolfhound in the first generation brings. In fact, the idea is not new - in past centuries, and now similar breeds are in other places of the world. Volkosob is the Russian name for Russian dog and wolf hybrids, but the Czechoslovakian wolf dog and Sarlos' wolf dog are also known. Both, by the way, from crossing the German Shepherd with wolves.  Generally, positive results of such experiments are rare, as only about 5% of hybrids can be tamed by man - the remaining 95% are wild, aggressive, and can have developmental anomalies. Wolfhound, as a breed not yet fully marked officially, and therefore - not having an official standard, can boast of crossings not only with Shepherd but also with Siberian Huskies and Alaskan Malamute.  The breed of wolfhounds was created for military purposes, in the institute of internal troops of the city of Perm. The first offspring was received in 2000 from the wolf Naida, brought up by a hunter from an early age, and a German Shepherd named Baron. For a while, the existence of these dogs was not advertised, and they were used purely in various kinds of troops. However, around 2003 they became known to ordinary civilians. In places where a lot of endurance and excellent wolf instincts are required, the demand for wolfhound dogs is very high.  Wolfhound has a much more highly developed flair than the usual German Shepherd, albeit very capable. According to studies, in a confined space wolfhosob finds a person about 50 times faster than the same German Shepherd. Their scent is six times stronger. Currently, the state project to research, create, and population hybrids of wolves and dogs in Russia is closed.

In fact, they look very much like wolves - ears straight, muzzle elongated, limbs slightly longer than the average, look piercing and very clever. Tail medium length, fluffy. The color can be black or gray.     personality To say that a wolfhound dog is smart is to say nothing. Their intelligence differs from the intelligence of ordinary dogs. What if we were talking about a person, one could say that he understands the world around him more deeply, and in general, is a deeper person than the others. Many who have had experience with wolfhounds, note that the dog makes his own conclusions accumulating experience, has a great memory, is wonderfully oriented on the ground, and perfectly understands the person, although sometimes tries to convince him otherwise.  The latter, by the way, also requires cunning and intelligence. These animals are difficult to train because for them it is not clear (in the internal sense) the simple memorization of commands. It should be a deep interaction between the owner and the dog, when the dog goes to meet and follows the command of the owner, so to speak, more out of friendship than out of simple dog devotion. Symbiosis of nature and man. Although, in this respect, the wolfhound will never let you down.  Another thing is that the owner should earn the respect of his dog. This breed can often simply ignore commands, or act in its own way. On some side, it can be said that the wolfhound considers the family or the owner as something like a pack, and seeks to occupy a dominant position in it. They are very devoted to their owner, love walks, they have a lot of energy - with such a dog is preferable to live in the private sector.  Strangers are wary, children are treated normally if they are children from their own families. If these are other people's children, the attitude to them is cool, but without aggression - the animal is more likely to leave (even if it is a 3-year-old kid who immediately tries to shove a dog's finger in the ear or in the mouth, which should not be done at all).  Other pets are not what is perceived badly - just do not perceive. In principle. As a phenomenon. Although, there are cases of successful friendship with other dogs and even Cats,, here it is necessary to clarify that the breed of wolfhounds has always been accustomed to this since childhood, and - without guarantees of success.

In fact, they look very much like wolves - ears straight, muzzle elongated, limbs slightly longer than the average, look piercing and very clever. Tail medium length, fluffy. The color can be black or gray.     personality To say that a wolfhound dog is smart is to say nothing. Their intelligence differs from the intelligence of ordinary dogs. What if we were talking about a person, one could say that he understands the world around him more deeply, and in general, is a deeper person than the others. Many who have had experience with wolfhounds, note that the dog makes his own conclusions accumulating experience, has a great memory, is wonderfully oriented on the ground, and perfectly understands the person, although sometimes tries to convince him otherwise.  The latter, by the way, also requires cunning and intelligence. These animals are difficult to train because for them it is not clear (in the internal sense) the simple memorization of commands. It should be a deep interaction between the owner and the dog, when the dog goes to meet and follows the command of the owner, so to speak, more out of friendship than out of simple dog devotion. Symbiosis of nature and man. Although, in this respect, the wolfhound will never let you down.  Another thing is that the owner should earn the respect of his dog. This breed can often simply ignore commands, or act in its own way. On some side, it can be said that the wolfhound considers the family or the owner as something like a pack, and seeks to occupy a dominant position in it. They are very devoted to their owner, love walks, they have a lot of energy - with such a dog is preferable to live in the private sector.  Strangers are wary, children are treated normally if they are children from their own families. If these are other people's children, the attitude to them is cool, but without aggression - the animal is more likely to leave (even if it is a 3-year-old kid who immediately tries to shove a dog's finger in the ear or in the mouth, which should not be done at all).  Other pets are not what is perceived badly - just do not perceive. In principle. As a phenomenon. Although, there are cases of successful friendship with other dogs and even Cats,, here it is necessary to clarify that the breed of wolfhounds has always been accustomed to this since childhood, and - without guarantees of success.  In battle go to the end, do not retreat in front of the superior enemy. qua watchdog, they don't always fit because they don't tend to bark, but they like to how much. Especially - on the moon and some sounds, for example - the sound of a flying plane. Can tolerate the lack of food and cold climate, perfectly adapt (but - only not to live on the chain), have excellent reactions. They are in dire need of early socialization.     Wolf Dog, Wolfhound history, breed information, description, personality, teaching, common diseases and care.  teaching There is little information about the education of dogs of the wolfhound breed, a few specialists, and even just individuals of these mestizoes are rare. One thing is for sure - it is useless to try to break them with brute physical force, it is useless to try to simply dominate and solve all issues in order. Here we need a more subtle approach, and you need to start from early childhood.  Russian wolfhound has a huge will, and it will not be possible to break it, and developed intelligence and natural animal flair instantly recognizes the human false. If you are a kind, patient, intelligent host who sees your pet as the default friend, you have a chance of success. Note also that you play a huge role with the first generation, or, for example, with the 3-4th.  These dogs have been successfully used in border troops and anti-terrorist task forces, they can assimilate many commands, not counting basic ones. New people get used to quickly, and experience a change of owner better than most dogs.

You also need to buy 1-2 times a week or out of necessity (you can rarely - hunters, going with them to the taiga, do not buy them for weeks).  Wolfhound, like all dogs, needs to clean the ears and eyes at least a few times a week, but the owner should do it. The claws are cut on average once every 10 days.     Common diseases This is a very healthy breed of dog, which has excellent immunity. If you provide your dog with good care, and proper maintenance, you will be able to keep her healthy until old age. And there is a breed of wolfhounds, for a moment, sometimes even more than 20 years.

Wolf Dog, Wolfhound history Wolfhound - not quite the official name of not quite the usual breed of dogs. Not quite official, because this breed, strictly speaking, has not yet been recognized in any international organization, and even by the Russian Federation of Dogs. What is so unusual about this breed?  Even from the name, it is clear that wolfhounds are a mixture of dog and wolf. That is, it is not what the ancestors once had in the form of wolves and German Shepherd we've been mating together, and to this day the resulting dogs have a mate. No. In fact, each new individual, ideally, should come from mating between a dog and a wolf, although there are individuals who even in the 3rd generation showed superiority in the main properties (smell, mind, endurance, etc.) over ordinary dogs.  Accordingly, you can imagine what qualities a purebred wolfhound in the first generation brings. In fact, the idea is not new - in past centuries, and now similar breeds are in other places of the world. Volkosob is the Russian name for Russian dog and wolf hybrids, but the Czechoslovakian wolf dog and Sarlos' wolf dog are also known. Both, by the way, from crossing the German Shepherd with wolves.  Generally, positive results of such experiments are rare, as only about 5% of hybrids can be tamed by man - the remaining 95% are wild, aggressive, and can have developmental anomalies. Wolfhound, as a breed not yet fully marked officially, and therefore - not having an official standard, can boast of crossings not only with Shepherd but also with Siberian Huskies and Alaskan Malamute.  The breed of wolfhounds was created for military purposes, in the institute of internal troops of the city of Perm. The first offspring was received in 2000 from the wolf Naida, brought up by a hunter from an early age, and a German Shepherd named Baron. For a while, the existence of these dogs was not advertised, and they were used purely in various kinds of troops. However, around 2003 they became known to ordinary civilians. In places where a lot of endurance and excellent wolf instincts are required, the demand for wolfhound dogs is very high.  Wolfhound has a much more highly developed flair than the usual German Shepherd, albeit very capable. According to studies, in a confined space wolfhosob finds a person about 50 times faster than the same German Shepherd. Their scent is six times stronger. Currently, the state project to research, create, and population hybrids of wolves and dogs in Russia is closed.
