It Looks Handsome,

but is it a dog or a wolf?

a cute and cuddly domestic pet or a unpredictable bundle of viciousness? photograph K9Web, apparently many people want to keep a dog that looks like a wolf, but is domesticated like a normal dog, in the 1980s, a group of British dog breeders set out on a mission to develop a new dog breed with a wolf-like appearance. To that end, they combined German Shepherds, Siberian Huskies, Alaskan Malamutes, and Samoyeds, and the Tamaskan above was one of the breeds they came up with,

the Tamaskan is classified as a large dog breed, the Tamaskan may look like an actual wolf, or at least a close cousin, genetically speaking, there is no relation between the two species. The Tamaskan is all dog, males are generally larger than females, weighing between 66 and 99 pounds and measuring between 25 and 28 inches tall, it responds well to training, and is very energetic, but it is recommended for people who have experience with dogs, as they require a lot of attention and work, Tamaskan dogs usually get very attached to their owners and their respective family and tend to develop separation anxiety if left alone too often, these dogs are also very friendly and generally enjoy being around people, the first liter of wolf-like puppies found its way to US soil in 2005, and despite growing in popularity ever since, Tamaskans are still considered very rare, with puppies only available through waiting lists and at prices upwards of $2,000, but lets face it owning a dog in wolf's clothing was never going to be cheap!
