Can you actually purchase a wolf as a pet or a wolf mixed with a siberian husky?

Question

If so, where

Answer 1

Yeah, you seriously can, but could you handle it? These dog hybrids do not always act like your typical domesticated dogs. They can be aggressive, tempermental, and uncontrollable. Plus, because of their bloodline, these dogs demand high energy from the owners and a large holding (kennel).

In fact, because of the emotional, physical, and mental demands of these animals, many of these hybrids are abandoned or given up to shelters simply due to imcompetent and unrealistic handlers. Even sadder is the fate that many of these dogs face: they can't be set into the wild, nor kept at an animal shelter; thus, they face being held up in a tiny outdoor kennel or in the worst case scenario, put to death.

Unless you have years of experience in handling dogs, I don't suggest you get one. Remember, you alone are completely responsible for a dog's life and death, their happiness and sadness. Be realistic about yourself.

Answer 2

Yes you can purchase them and the most common place to find them is in Oregon. Some states require a permit to own a Siberian Husky or wolf! good luck trying to find them

Answer 3

Look up Candy Kitchens Wolf Rescue. They adopt out wolf/dogs but you must prove that you know about working with a wild animal and know a thing or two about Canine behavior.

They have wolfX's with all kinds of temperaments. Some will never be adopted out because of their temperaments. It is a rescue mission and most of the wolf/dogs have come there because of abuse, others were unmanagable.

It is located in New Mexico, in the mountains & it is beautiful.

Keep in mind that they may find you unsatisfactory as a wolf owner.

Answer 4

I got a huskey wolf mix one of the best nicest well behaved dogs I ever had but have a friend with a wolf 240 lbs thing eats like a pack of wolves 80 lbs of dog food a week.

Answer 5

You cannot own a wolf without a special licensing permit along with a good reason such as a wrangler/trainer for movies. As beautiful as they look, wolves are dangerous even when raised from cubs. I used to have a Siberian Husky, a great dog till she died of old age. Purebred Siberians are already half wolf and half Jackal (a Jackal is a Coyote looking dog known for their hunting skills of small rodents). Siberians will dig holes in your yard which is what Jackals do when they hunt those rodents, they will also dig body-sized indentations in the ground to 'nest' in which is what huskies do in the snow to ward off snow storms. Like I said, a really great and loving dog, also great companions for children but they can test your patience with their digging and pulling at the leash (from sledding).

Answer 6

While there are many people who actually breed wolf-dogs, they are not recommended as pets for the average person. In fact, the person who owns one usually will find he owns a very difficult animal. Wolves are generally shy of people, and their very wild predatory natures thus do not conflict with the human lifestyle. However breed that shyness away and you have a strong willed, predatory wild creature that is not one bit afraid of people.

If you are not already skilled in training wild animals, and you don't have a very large (acres) area that is fully enclosed with a very tall fence, you have no business with a wolf-dog. They are not suitable for suburban landscapes and they do not make placid easy to train pets. Think of the wolf-dog as a wild creature that does not mind people and may one day get fed up with your feeble attempts to dominate his wild spirit and eat you.

So yes, you can purchase a wolf-dog. But why would you want one?

Answer 7

Wolf- not with out a permit. Wolf hybrid- yes in most states w/o a permit. Some states it is illegal to own one, others no restrictions- it all depends on where you live.
If you have had no experience with wolves, I would suggest not getting a wolf or wolf hybrid. If you know dominance, body language, and the way he would react in a pack setting, you will be ok. The minute you let your guard down or become less dominant- you will usually end up hurt- they want to become pack leader. Then the wolfdog usually gets destroyed and you end up in intensive care.
As for where- just look up wolf hybird breeders with your state on google.

Answer 8

Actually u can, but it depends where you are at and on your states regulations about wolf hybrids. In most states that allow the ownership of hybrids u have to have a special permit to keep them.
I have owned two of them and one was as sweet as he could be from being socialized with everyone and everything the other one was as mean as it could be from lack of socialization. It was a one person dog and it was because the people did not socialize her.
It depends on the temperment of the hybrid and how it is raised.

Answer 9

It may depend on your state laws. In some places, the percentage of wolf ancestry may be limited to, say, 75% wolf. Other places have no such laws. Before you buy, though, do some research. Wolves are not dogs and need an experienced handler; otherwise the consequences could be bad for both owner and wolf.

Where do you live?

Answer 10

I've been studying domestic dogs and wolves for years. Please don't get anything mixed with a wolf, or even a pure wolf. They are wild animals, and no matter how much you try, you will never get the "wild" out of them. They have turned on their owners, and other people. They are elusive, and DO NOT make good pets AT ALL.

Please, don't get one, someone could be seriously injured or killed. Including the dog.
