I did a little research on the wolf-dog hybrid this week. I discovered that the wolf and the dog can interbreed (which most people are aware of). The most likely canine candidate for parentage of this combination would be breeds like the malamute, German Shepherd dog and the husky. Those breeds possibly have more wolf genes than others, anyway.

They are beautiful dogs, but not necessarily good as pets. The domestic dog has been domesticated for a very long time, and most aggressive tendencies have long been bread out of him. The wolf is a survivor in the wild, genetically predisposed to hunting and protecting his young from larger, more dangerous predators.

My take on all this? The domestic dogs and the wolves should stay separate, both for the protection of the people around them, and for the purity of the species.
