I understand you quite well Jacob. Huskies, Malamutes and wolfdogs do have similar qualities. They all look natural and original. One of the problemes with wolfdogs in Sweden will be the dense population of "wild game" in that region. It can be difficult to suppress the hunting instincs in a wolfdog. Even if the dog gets used to domestic animals, they can change in a moment when running off-leash in the woods.

Although as a first-dog owner you would not have to be re-learned as many other dogowners must be when aquiring a wolfdog. Read, learn, visit serious wolfdogowner and take the challange. But take 2, not only 1. What about a shepherd and a CW.

I asked a question about using a wired muzzle on this forum without any replies. I use a wired muzzle on my dog when he is running off-leash in elk, reindeer, moose areas. Even if the dog is well trained it will never be safe among "wild game".
