Friday Fun - Have you or anyone you knew claimed to have a wolf/high content (75-99%) wolfdog?
If so this post is for you.
First photo;
Top left is 'claimed' ~90% wolfdog. Bottom left is a husky/gsd mix. Top right is an 84% 4th gen wolfdog. Bottom right is just a straight wolf.
High content wolfdogs and wolves are going to be very difficult to tell apart. High content wolfdogs (male or female) will breed only once a year, from December to March. No exceptions.
High content wolfdogs with have a solid black nose, light colored eyes, solid black lip and eye liner pigmentation.
The ears are actually fairly small, which is a huge give away imo. They are well-furred, and extremely thick, rounded at the tips, and set quite high on the head. (image 3)
High content wolfdogs will also have paws that point more outwards. The back legs are cow-hocked (hock is set inwards, making the feet splay outwards), and they have a longer stifle than most dogs (image 4)
I find that most people claiming to have a wolf/ high content wolf dog have at most a low content, or more likely a convincing gsd/husky mix
