Yes maybe but as I understand there are all Canis Lupus and not Totaly differant breeds at least and therefore there is no Hybrid´s in dogs neather, scientificly spoken that is...

But I my self would not cross them at all, but I do not se the reasan way Christian think it is totaly wrong, to cross American wolf to CsV but OK to cross European wolf to GSD ???

To me it is OK if it is done by an expert on cross breeding !!! how ever that is very rear but I´m very glad that people before us have cross breed otherwise there would not be any CsV or Saarloos today, or am I wrong

I like CsV but also (unpure) dog breeds like Husky mixes, Alaskan Husky, Tamaskan dog, Tamaskan Wolfdog, American Wolfdog and Swedish Wolfdog, but I will newer cross my CsV whit any of them or a wolf !!!

And I like wolves to much to bring then out of the woods
