OT: A New Pack Member

Post by IronNoggin »

As many know I have looking hard for a male wolf hybrid to welcome into our lives.
Three years have wandered by since I lost The Boogyman.
Still miss him desperately even after all that time.
But I simply know that a new pup will help alleviate that to some extent.

This week one of my buddies informed me he knew of a wolf hybrid litter IN TOWN!
I had to go and look obviously.
Unfortunately the 2 males were spoken for and they have no plans for any more litters down the road.

One of the gals caught my eye though, and certainly warmed right up to me...
Hmmm...

Took my Lady to look at them, and when the single tear of joy ran down her cheek when she picked the one I liked up, I knew I was doomed. They were asking 5 bills, but upon hearing our background immediately dropped that to 3 saying "better to have a great home than a little extra coin!"

The 7 week old Gal is simply gorgeous!

Happy Happy Happy!!

The dad is 1.2 Island Wolf & 1/2 Australian Shepherd

Image

Image

The mom is 1/2 Timber Wolf & 1/2 Alaskan Husky

Image

Image

It is uncanny just how close the mom's face is to that of our 12+ year old Kimmiq.
They could be sisters...

Image

Image

Many of my buddies are saying we are nuts for doing this at this stage of our lives.

I say it keeps US young!

And... I am still hunting for the right male...

Picking her tomorrow as we're puppy proofing the house today & tomorrow morning.

Interesting & fun times ahead...

Cheers,
Nog

As for a name, my Lady is leaning towards Ila (eye - la) which is the Inuit word for Companion.

Just finishing up getting the house in order then we'll be off to pick her up.

Exciting times!

Thanks for the kind words folks!

Cheers

Fine looking pup! I still remember picking up my chocolate lab girl! We immediately bonded especially since I was the only one letting her out to pee every 2hrs and I had to sleep on the couch next to her crate... :D

Off to a rather promising start!

Much to our surprise she only woke us up once overnight.

Kimmiq is still a little shy around her, but has accepted her.

Ila has definitely bonded with my wife - follows her constantly and must keep her in sight.

Does OK outside (never been before) but it will be a learning curve to understand that is where we do our business it seems.

Eating and behaving rather well except she likes to test chew pretty much everything...

The madness has begun...

Cheers,
Nog

Matt, that’s the best madness that can ever happen! Although my boy is 13 months, I envy you! There’s nothing better than a puppy in the house! :clap:

Few more pictures from today...

Her ears will stand up like both of her parents.

Kimmiq is a little apprehensive as she is uncertain just how to interact with one so small:

But they are figuring it out:

Back to the fun...
