I got my first Wolf Hybrid (1/2 Timber, 1/2 Husky) well over 4 decades ago now.
They have an intelligence that is hard to fathom if you haven't been around one much.
Like the Einsteins of the canine world.
They are very loving, friendly, protective and more.

Certainly not for everyone, they need a LOT of experience in their companions. Their need for exercise, support and understanding runs very very deep, so they require a great deal of time and effort to bring out their best.

My Lady & I have now been living with, rearing and training Wolf Hybrids for over 40 years now.
Simply became our way of life...

Wouldn't have it any other way!

Kibble for breakfast and lunch.
Raw or rare venison mixed with kibble for supper.

We use a high end large breed puppy kibble and they always appear to like it.

This one is showing very strong signs that she will be a free feeder (as is Kimmiq).
She only eats what she wants at the time, then leaves the rest for later.
Sticks to her routine of three times daily thus far.

Oddly enough, Kimmiq leaves her food entirely alone.
And when she let Ila chow down on hers, we knew there wasn't going to be anything untoward between them.
Even so, we are actively discouraging the little one from eating any but her own.

Cheers,

Upside down sleep:

Looks to me uncomfortable sleep:

Image

Brought her down to the dungeon, and she immediately took over one of my old bookcases:

Image

First day we've had her that my Lady wandered off to work in the early.

She left Ila on her bed in the living room sleeping.

That didn't last long and she made a beeline for the bedroom where she started to whine, then howl (amazing how much volume can come out of one so small!).

So, up and at 'em in the pitch dark - a first for me in a spell - most certainly not the last...

Cheers,
Nog

Time for a few more pictures...

Image

Ila has really warmed up to Kimmiq

Image

Image

And Kimmiq is returning the favour

Why sleep on your dog bed when Granny-Guns tail is available?

We had forgotten about the Puppy Zoomies.
She has well reminded us!!

Ten Weeks Old Today & simply full of piss & vinegar!

Now at that awkward stage where her ears are trying to stand - at different rates of course:

And he has discovered the old basket of dog toys from our previous ones.
She loves them all!

And of course after the workout:

Fun Times!!

How pretty are they both.
I have always really liked breeds with "wild" genetics, in addition to being aesthetically natural, they have a higher level of intelligence than more modified breeds.

Her legs are growing faster than her body at this point:

Image

Told The Missuz we should have named her "Stilts"! LOL

She hops around on those long legs like some strange combination of a fox & a jackrabbit.
Hilarious to watch.
I'll try to grab some video of that before she outgrows it...
