Fantastic point!

Thank god Random is here, she is about the only one with enough sense and EXPERIENCE of said threads to cast a genuine eye over this, for petes sake Catwoman, you really have no idea do you?
Lol, I respect you Borderdawn...

The wolves I have seen are very like my sisters Huskies! (Gosh better watch my spelling).
The only difference I could see was wolves are slighlty bigger! (Physically)
Behaviour is a totally different subject...
I have an open mind, can I ask have you read ALL the thread?

Just because I haven't been on Catsey long, does not mean I know nothing
I could really take offense to this post of yours, but I will turn the other cheek... l
I have spent years in animal welfare,vet nursing etc. Yes, I only have cats as pets (not an animal collector), but have experience with dogs through work and family...

Oh yes I certainly have. Let me tell you just two of the things that happened when Wolfdogs (low wolf content) came into the UK. One was so terrified, just like a Wolf, it escaped and gave birth to pups in a hole in the middle of knowhere, fortunately close enough to be kept an eye on, it was weeks before she was even seen! Another reverted to Wolf and became aggressive, you see thats what happens when you cross with DOMESTIC breeds, the Wolf aggression surfaces but unlike in the wild its directed at humans, this dog had to be SHOT, yes SHOT it was so dangerous, still think that are all fine?

Wolves are wild animals not pets, people live in cuckoo land and quite honestly must have little respect for these animals if they want to "tame" them, its quite distasteful to me. How cool is it? Would you feel the same if I said I had a Leopard in my house, but he's a pussycat? You'd think I was NUTS!! This "fad" will end in tears, it has already with such a small number being present here, as I said not wishing to be rude, but you really have no idea if you think Wolf is like Dog! Everything Wolf was removed to make Dog, of course some characteristics will remain, but I fear for people who think they have something "cool" just like with Pit Bulls, it will go tits up!

Re: Missing Wolf


Good night, think I should leave it there.
I just hope this domesticated wolf on the loose in Ireland is not shot/pts through peoples ignorance. Which was my main point on this thread!!!

Re: Missing Wolf


All i will say on the subject is that any animal wether cat, dog husky or wold can be dangerous unless it is handled correctly. But what ever the animal is you can never prodict how they are always going to behave. This is not a dig but i cant spell tonight i am still shook up.

I have never mentioned that crossing dog/wolf is a good idea, and do not support that action AT ALL !!!!!
I THINK YOU HAVE GONE OFF AT A TANGENT HERE!!!!
And I don't think Joe public should have wolves as pets.
My mind boggles, trying to put words in my mouth just like Random did.....

Yep, domesticated did you say, well trained? did I hear it had escaped? Not too "domestic" is it?
