4 wolves used in breed development
Is there any information on Sarik, Brita, Argo and Lejdy? I'm curious about how and why they were selected and where they were selected from (zoo? private sanctuary?)
And I'd like to know if it is common for wolf to dog pairings to have low fertility especially if it is a male wolf to female dog. For example, in the two litters from Sarik, there was only 1 puppy produced each. Only 2 puppies were produced from Argo's single litter, and only 1 puppy from Lejdy's single litter. The only exception is Brita who had 2 sizable litters.
Was there any reason for the selection of these 4 specific wolves, or was it "just because" they were Eurasian wolves?
