Ask the person you got it from? but with double mongrel parentage you have very little chance... You can be sure however it is crossed with another dog...as the chance of a mating with a wolf or wolf hybrid is remote in the UK
rowanwitch, you talk about mating with wolves, I used to hear many stories especially from country folk who made claims of their dogs being crossed with a fox, I always doubted this and not so long ago researched and very quickly found that it is impossible, Im sure people will still make that claim though.
I imagine it is very possible with wolves, just a bit unlikely in the UK.
Wolf and dog are close enough genetically but foxes are too different although it might be possible in a lab the resultant offspring would be sterile
funniest cross I ever saw was a Jack Russell x Greatdane like a dane with thick stocky legs not sure which partner was which sex The JR component needed a step ladder
I was in the vet's waiting room a few months ago when a man came in with a large dog. A couple of people asked if it was a German Shepherd cross, and if so with what - the man said yes to the first, and to the second: a wolf. It was a gorgeous animal and very friendly, but you could definitely see the wolf in it.
I had a gorgeous crossbreed - gold, brown, white, with a fluffy bunny tail - his mother was a little black collie, and I have no idea who dad was.
It's amazing how people can be fooled - when anyone asked me his breed, I said he was a very rare German Rinderhund.
They oo-hed and aa-hed and believed me.
I think that the Scottish Wildcat is about the biggest predator in the UK.
Lottie - I know that there are people who breed wolves and they allow people to go and visit them. I love wolves - but am against the reintroduction of them into the UK. They wouldn't be safe from stupid humans.
Even faced with people who breed wolves (why exactly?), I for one minute can't imagine anyone would let their wolves breed with Mr Smith's/Jones/Whatevers alsation dog!
