I've got a Siberian Wolf/Husky that's apparently a second generation. My friend is a vet and thinks that this dog is more of a wolf but with just a few Husky traits.
I think that's so cool! But is it safe? I mean (Sabre) my Wolf/Husky is really stand-off-ish with everyone except me. To tell the truth I don't have a big issue about my wolf/husky being so like a wolf, it's just I'm sure I heard that it's illegal for an dog to have a certain amount of wolf in it?
Me and Sabre go for long walks everyday and Sabre seems very healthy.

I had a wolf/husky mix, he was 85% wolf/ 15% husky. He was always very standoffish with everyone but me, and even with me at first. It took a lot to get him to trust me, but when he did, it was for life.

The drawback with them - other than all the above - is that the vaccines made for dogs don't necessarily work on them. This implies you can have an extraordinarily giant dogs that likes the high-quality outdoor and is very nearly not vaccinated. There may be additionally no actual safeguard net for you or them, if things don't figure out - they dont' belong within the house, and rescues won't take them if they truely be aware of what they are, when you consider that of the legal responsibility. Equal obstacle with vets - they can't make sure that the vaccine will work, and that leaves them open to a lawsuit. Wolves belong within the wild, and will have to be left to live as they must. Dangerous matters occur while you try to mess with the plan. That you would be able to have a Malamute, and be simply as cool - with a few of the same p.C. Orientation problems, but a breed rescue and proper veterinary remedy that works.

If she is stand offish I'd be careful with her around people and other dogs. She really needs to be socialised, not just walked down the street. If she is already several months old and still standoffish, then you have a LOT of work ahead of you. Try taking her to obedience classes.
As for those who tell you it's wrong to have a wolf hybrid, don't listen to those morons. They are people who have no experience around dogs or wolves and only spout out PETA lies.
Just remember, you have to care for your pet and know what you are getting into. If your dog kills some child, then in my eyes, not only is the wolf hybrid at fault, the owner is at fault for murder. And by your own statement that Sabre is standoffish and very wolf-like, you are now aware that you have a dangerous animal.

If you are in the UK then you have to hope that your dog has NO wolf in it because unless you are licensed under the Dangerous Wild Animals Act 1976 then you are breaking the law. You would never be able to take him for a walk & he would have to be kept confined in suitable conditions & if you were unable to comply, the dog would have to be rehomed to a zoo or similar or destroyed
Where-ever you are, surely you did some research before acquiring such a dog?

We have a half wolf half Alaskan Malamute. Since she was severely abused before we got her, she is very submissive. No it isn't illegal for a dog to have a certain amount of wolf in it. It is illegal (unless it's a rescue or sanctuary) to own a purebred wolf in some states.

I have a siberian husky mix, but he looks a lot more like a wolf than a purebred husky. I don't know what he is mixed with, because he was a rescue.

i believe puppies turn out according to the way they are brought up.i have a old english mastiff/rottweiller cross puppy who is a big powerful dog and could be dangerous in the wrong hands. but because she has a loving family she is a gentle giant. good luck with sable.

Keep the bloody thing away from anyone vulnerable.
We've heard too many stories of animals like this mauling kids etc.
Just prior to the attack, the owner will always say, "Don't worry, he's perfectly harmless!"

Cool to keep a dangerous wild animal? People like you are the exact reason these mixes should be banned.
