Back In March 2016,

I made a post about this fearsome creature,

it is a wolf dog, photograph ActionTeaser.ru - teaser advertising one of our readers asked if I could find a printable photograph of them but I could not find one, but in any event so I thought I would write a little more about them, I found all of this here, Wolfdogs are a population of wolf-dog hybrids bred at the Perm Institute of Internal Troops from wolves and German shepherds. The scientific supervision of the project is carried out by Professor VM Kasimov. The name is formed from the words "wolf" and "dog". Dogs (Canis lupus familiaris) are classified as a subspecies of the wolf (Canis lupus), so the correct term is wolf dogs (wolves). Unlike previous experiments on crossing wolves with different breeds of dogs, wolf-dogs are controlled by humans. They have much more developed flair, intelligence and stamina than dogs.

if you are considering owning one of these as a guard dog, parts of this article make disturbing reading, and I quote, 'numerous mental problems are manifested in wolf dogs quite clearly . The genetic memory of wild ancestors forces the puppy, and then the young animal, to constantly fight for a place in the pack, while applying, in contrast to dogs, rather tough methods. According to the stories of those who closely communicated with the wolfdogs, the dogs will definitely declare their desire to suppress a person. Most often it happens unexpectedly, without any ritual warnings. Therefore, those who communicate closely with them should definitely be on the lookout - this is the only way to protect themselves from a sudden throw or lightning bite of strong and ruthless teeth.' in the article I posted in 2016 the wolfdogs were used as a help to border guards, but I have found this piece where the wolfdogs are used to guard oil pipe lines, but if you are considering one as a pet this article may help you to decided if you really do want a wolfdog in the house, what a fascinating breed of dog.
