There is much confusion on the difference between a wolfdog and a wolf hybrid, much has to do with zoning codes. A wolfdog is a wolfdog or dog bred to another wolfdog or dog, which are the same canine species, a wolf hybrid is a cross between a pure wolf (usually bred in captivity) and a dog or a wolfdog. This type of match is an F1 which means 1 generation removed from a pure wolf. Most wolfdogs are a higher number of Fgen, meaning 2, 3, 4, 5 etc. times removed from a pure wolf.

Do Wolfdogs or Wolf Hybrids Make Good Pets?

To be completely honest they are not a pet/companion for everyone, they are not watch-dogs so if you are looking at them for security, they will not protect you, wolves in general are more afraid of humans then humans are of wolves, there is no such thing as a big bad wolf. Like any dog you should not leave them unattended around small children, their life span is generally 12-15 years, which means you will have a toddler type of mentality for the span of their life. Their diet is different, as the higher percentage of wolf they are the more they need a well-balanced raw diet. They are as smart as smart can be, which sometimes can work against you. In the wild there are less than a dozen documented cases where a wolf attacked a human in the United Sates; wolfdogs statically are not dangerous animals. There are several other breeds of dogs that top the most dangerous type of canine breed. Like any canine a dog in pain with an underlining health issue or the product of inbreeding can cause the animal to be aggressive. The biggest problem we see in rescues are back yard breeders who sell to people not qualified to have this breed of canine, people with no northern breed experience, people without proper containments. Wolfdogs require containment. 8’ fencing ( minimum ) with 36” lien ins or a fully covered roof, dig guards on the ground, as wolfdogs are escape artists and can scale a 9’ fence like it’s nothing and are master excavators when it comes to digging. Having lived with wolfdogs for nearly 20 years, they are life changing, you will not be going on long vacations anymore because leaving them behind is exceedingly difficult but with proper training and socialization you can have the greatest bond you may ever have with an animal. I proudly was owned by Ambassador Sage who was one of the most accomplished Ambassador wolfdogs ever, she did educational work at schools, libraries, venues like Comicon, girl scouts, discovery centers, hospice work, assisted living, modeling, music videos and movies. So, they can be trained, but this is a lifelong commitment.

An incredibly special thanks to the Keller Law Firm for allowing me to write this article.

Is it OK to drink pond water?

Water from rivers, lakes, ponds and streams can contain bacteria, parasites, viruses and possibly other contaminants. To make surface water fit to drink, treatment is required.

The New York State Department of Health wants to remind people that there are risks from using water from any surface water source as drinking water, unless that water is properly filtered and disinfected. Water from rivers, lakes, ponds and streams can contain bacteria, parasites, viruses and possibly other contaminants. To make surface water fit to drink, treatment is required. Remember, we use our drinking water in many different ways. We use it as a beverage, but also make ice cubes, mix baby formula, wash fruits and vegetables, and brush our teeth. If the water is contaminated, this may put you at risk. Depending on the kind of contamination, it may also be a concern to wash dishes, wash hands, shower or bathe. Public water systems are required to treat, disinfect and monitor water quality for their customers. A public water treatment system is well designed and employs trained technicians to test and maintain water quality. If you are not on a public water system and use surface water as your water supply source, please contact your local health department for advice. They can talk to you about developing another source of drinking water in your area. If there are no other choices, then they can discuss the treatment options for your surface water source. In the meantime, avoid the use of surface water for your drinking water needs. You should use bottled water or disinfect small batches of water by bringing it to a rolling boil for one - two minutes. Although the New York State Health Department cannot recommend specific treatment systems or businesses that install them, we would be glad to talk to you about options. For general questions regarding drinking water, call 518-402-7650 or 1-800-458-1158.
