4 wolves used in breed development

[michaelundinaeichhorn]

I fully agree with both Hanka and of course Rona.
In comparison, much more dogs were killed rather than used for breeding and establishing the "new breed".
Which nowadays ought to make it impossible for ethical reasons, bringing in"new wolf blood".
Living with European wolves and knowing quite a few F1-crosses, I honestly can say you don't really want these animals as pets once they're adult...
Unfortunately there are a few psychos around who want exactly this.
But that's another story...

Rona, there is already fresh wolf blood added into the CSV breed in recent years.
And it continues!
And I don't speak of the "Mutaras" or only one mix or litter.
They have normal FCI pedigrees though false parents or at least fathers named.
Have a look in the database or litters.
