Does anybody know where or how to Own a Timber Wolf???

Question

I'm looking into finding/getting a Timber Wolf and i was wondering if i had to have a "Special licence" to do so, and if i do, then where can I get one?? Also is it even possible to own a full blood Timber Wolf or does it have to be 3/4th or less Timber Wolf?? Please help me find and learn some information on my Question.....Thanks

What i mean on Owning a Timber Wolf is like a Wolf Hybrid, like some one sugested.. All i want to know is how much blood can i not have a Timber Wolf..Like does it have to be under 3/4th blood or what. And no i dont want to Own a Full Blood Timber Wolf, just a 3/4 or less blood Timber Wolf.

Are you able to have like a Wolf, forgot what it is. But it has to do where you work for the government and you own wolves and you rasie them then let them go back to the wild..... Ummm, i've seen it done before on T.V. and i think it would help since the Timber Wolf is becoming an exticet breed...Would that help. and by that i mean little contact with them and stuff like that.????

Answer 1

I'm not sure if you can own wolves, but I know that you may be able to own wolf dogs. (Depending on where you live and the percentage of wolf blood that flows through the animal's veins.) If you live in a big city like Chicago or NY, they are probably banned. If you live in the countryside, they may be legal. See if you can find any information about their legality in your state, city, town, county, etc.

You can't really "own" a wolf they're wild dogs you know. But you can own a Wolf Hybrid, that's when you have a dog mixed with a Timber Wolf. Mainly Huskies are mixed with them, but it's not right to make a wild dog be a house pet....

Although you might try an animal rescue, some of the dogs come off of the Indian reserves and some dogs might be mixed with coyote or wolf. Like my dog that I have she kind of looks like a coyote, she came from one of the reserves, so it is possible. She's one of the sweetest dogs in the world though, you would never think that she was once a stray wild dog^_^

What state are you in? (geographical, not mental) I have some 6-week old pups ready to go. I have pics on my 360 page. They can be put on a plane at 8 weeks of age. Where I live, a permit is required for a full blooded wolf, as well as very specific kennelling requirements. And now that I think about it, the permit may not be required for only one for the purpose of breeding hybrids. Anyway, I've heard that in my area, a hybrid over 25% is "prohibited". I've also heard that if they get loose, animal control will shoot first and ask questions later. In my experience, your biggest battle will be with your neighbors. Aside from all of this, they are awesome animals, will teach you more than you can teach them, and will create an incredible bond with you.

I've raised 3 wolves. The first was a pure bread silver tip timber wolf. Some states don't allow people to own wolves. A lot of people have it set in their head that if it's a wolf, that it's the worst dog to own because it's wild. To that i say the following: Any animal is capable of being wild, ravid, tame, playfull, etc etc. It is all in how you raise it. I've raised everything from wolves, to rotweilers, to springer spanials. I raised them all the same, and they all turned out to be good dogs and it hurt everytime one of them died. Take a bisingi for instance. My mom told me a story one time that someone she know owned one. Really small dog, supposed to be a good house dog, someone threw a rock at it and the next time the dog saw that person it went straight for his throat. My second wolf, if it wasn't for her grabbing the seat of my pants with her mouth, i would've been bit by a rattlesnake. Pit Bulls, everyone know's what they "are", my friends sister has one that you'd swear was scared of his own shadow. A lot of people don't realize that there is a difference in getting a dog (no matter what kind) as a pup, and getting one already grown. The one already grown has already been raised by lord knows who and treated possibly bad or good. A pup, is a clean slate. So, with that being said, in my opinion, a Wolf makes a very good dog, but the first thing to do would be to find out if there's any city or state regulations against them. And go from there. If they allow wolves, like some areas of Washington State, or Arizona, then you can try the humain society's, pounds, or any animal shelter, or maybe even the classified adds in the news paper's. I hope this helps and good luck:)

Wow, you can't own a wolf, they are wild animals. Timber wolves are meant to be free. I know they are beautiful but why own one? Most people have enough of a tough time with regular dogs. Perhaps try looking in the husky breeds or malamute they resemble wolfs a bit.

Answer 6

happy i do no longer very own a wolfdog even if I certainly have over two hundred volunteer hours with the two kinfolk dogs and wolfdogs. Btw the term wolf hybrid is erroneous becuse wolves and dogs are the comparable species that's why a wolf and dogs can produce a fertile offspring at the same time as a mule and horse won't be able to. Wolfdogs choose for a committed proprietor which will settle for the two their experts and cons. in case you're actually not one hundred% dedicated to a wolfdog then no, they won't make a stable puppy. in case you're committed they are going to be the main unswerving companion. experts- ~extra clever than usual kinfolk dogs regrettably we as people have bred stupidity into domestics ~extra in track with nature ~aloof and could do thrilling stuff ~extremely unswerving to their vendors, there have been situations of wolfdogs ravenous themselves after the loss of life of their proprietor Cons- ~get away artists ~traumatic around strangers that could carry approximately concern biting, if an animal is scared around strangers any animal kinfolk or no longer has a raffle of biting ~like to bite in spite of if or no longer it belongs to them ~diggers Wolf content relies upon on breeding, the only beneficial hearth thank you to get an precise % is to reproduce a organic dogs with a organic wolf which could be 50% then to reproduce the 50% with yet another organic wolf to get seventy 5% etc. even if in case you breed a 50% with a 70% there is not any assure how plenty wolf there will be it could selection from 50-70%. organic wolf features incorporate yellowish eyes, a black tipped tail, take care of hairsnear shoulders, webbed feet, long slender gently sloping snout, and a organic black nostril (no crimson in nostril) i admire wolfdogs because of the fact they have a tendency to have a calmer side than the rambunctious dogs human beings breed now, they are unswerving to their proprietor, and that they are extra attentive to themselves and their ecosystem than different dogs. keep in mind Little crimson using Hood LIED. Wolfdogs do no longer kill human beings, human beings kill human beings by utilising the way they improve their animals.

I believe you're refering to a "Wolf Hybrid" aka "The Wolfdog".
Which is a the most controversial canine in North America right underneath the pit-bull.

Answer 8

This has to be the stupidest question i have seen on here. And you are stupid to want a wolf. You know all this wolf would want to do is kill you and eat you. It is a wild thing and i don't think you have the brains to care for one . You would have to keep him in a cage you wouldn't be able to real play with them.Lets put you in a cage and see how you like it.

Hi this is what I found for you. They are not meant to be a pet and some states do have licensing restrictions or just flat out do not allow them.
