Aridog said...: The second commenter on AllenS's link is correct, God's dog is the wolf. And the wolf came to man, to be a dog...here is a Wolf/GSD hybrid named Shadow who lived 12 years as and raised two boys from infancy. I rescued "Shadow" many years ago, in northern Michigan,...and he was the dog God intended and never anything less. He lived his life with good friends who needed him...but I still miss him, too.; 3/14/13, 6:49 PM

David said...: Love the look on the face of the puppy in your picture, Airdog. That puppy seems well aware that Shadow is God's dog.; 3/14/13, 7:09 PM

...and Lake Michigan so one does not need to swim in oceans with big carnivorous fishies.; 3/14/13, 7:40 PM
Aridog said...: A caveat regarding wolf hybrids in general. "Shadow" was a rare hybrid that had more of the dog confidence than the wolf suspicion. He was one of a kind.

I do not recommend anyone intentionally breed hybrids, or buy them, because in essence it is a step backwards.

If you just must, however, ... import ... Hybridization has been carefully done in old Czechoslovakia and produced the Sarloos Wolf Hound and the Czech Wolf Dog ... just be sure you really do know what you are doing...not for amateurs.; 3/14/13, 7:59 PM

Puppy (thinking): "Is this posture submissive enough? How about this one? How about if I get UNDER the carpet and THEN lower my head?"
Excellent photo.; 3/14/13, 11:27 PM
