I am not actually from America, but rather from Canada,. but yes the timber wolf is a native species of North America, and NO it is not domesticated-it is a wolf!! Wolves are very hard to domesticate, and you cannot be sure that the training will stay with them for long; potential to have the wolf regress back into its feral state at any time.

First, the timber wolf isn't a dog, it is a wolf and is probably what our ancestors domesticated the present day dog from. I've yet to see a truly domesticated timber wolf, and most live in the wild in packs. In the pack structure you have an alpha-male and an alpha-female, who are the two top wolves in the pack. For more, see the link in the source. Hope this helps, have a good day.

Gray Wolf, a breed of wolf or the Eastern Timber Wolf, a breed of wolf.

Eastern Timber Wolves should not be mistaken for the Eastern Canadian Wolf, Canis lycaon. Originally thought to be the same animal, new genetic testing and data has revealed that wolves occupying the Algonquin Park region in Canada are actually a separate species more closely related to the Red Wolf. There is still a great deal of turmoil in the scientific community as this change is being undertaken.


The Eastern Timber Wolf is one of the larger subspecies of grey wolves, especially in length, which generally varies from 150 to 180 centimetres (58.5-70 inches), including the tail. Larger individuals can have tails up to 50 cm (19.5 inches) in length, and can approach 200 cm (78 inches) in length overall. Typical height ranges from 65 to 85 centimetres (25-33 inches) at the shoulder. While eastern timber wolves can achieve weights of up to 45 kilograms (100 lb), the average male weighs around 35 kilograms (77 lb), while females weigh about 30 kilograms(66 lb).

Timber Wolves typically have silver or gray-brown coats with a lighter tan or cream undercoat. During winter months fur colorations tend to become darker.
