Living With A Wolf or Wolfdog
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 24 ก.ย. 2024
- Lorne was born at a zoo in Georgia who breeds a select number of wolf pups to be used for educational purposes and for ambassadors for their species. Lorne's brother, Wyatt can be seen at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom in Vallejo, California. Lorne is being raised with the hope of using him in educational talks to raise awareness for an often misunderstood animal. Despite media attention that wolves in the wild have stabilized their numbers, they are still very much at risk. Wolf hunting continues to persist, both legally and illegally. Wolves are still stigmatized in society, especially by farmers and ranchers who if merely seeing a wolf will on sight, no matter the threat. This mentality is hurting our intelligent friend, whose relationship and companionship led us to the domesticated dog we have today and love. Lorne visits with the public regularly and even though he's just a cub, he has instantly charmed his way into the hearts of many others who before misunderstood and feared one of our closest ties to the natural world.
Lorne is a subspecies of the Grey (or Timber) Wolf. He was born in April (wolves are only born in the spring, unlike domesticated dogs) and until he came to me just shy of 7 weeks was used in meet-and-greets at the Georgia zoo. In July he went on a trip across the United States from out West to Chicago. Unfortunately once there, he swallowed a small slip lead and had to have a life threatening surgery to remove it. His recovery was remarkable and the vet that preformed the surgery said it was the fastest she had ever seen. Wolves are strong and very adaptable. Their immune system due to their varied gene pool and lack of interbreeding as seen in domesticated dogs, makes them lack the health problems they often do. It was a scary time, but thankfully today you wouldn't even know it ever happened (except for the constant reminder of paying off the bill!).
I'm working with Lorne every day and I hope that he is able to continue to reach out to the public as he matures. It is common that wolves once establishing a territory upon reaching adulthood have trouble leaving it and feel much more comfortable at home than in strange places. We will see what path Lorne wants to follow in life, but I hope that he will be kind enough to continue to make a positive impression on others and be an ambassador for his species.

• I GOT A WOLF! -- Wolf ...
Does a wolfdog like your's get any separation anxiety? If so, what does he do when your gone?
No separation anxiety issues at all. When I am not home, which is very rare because I work with my pack and work at home for a living. But I do of course leave my home sometimes. When that happens, he goes inside an extra-large dog crate. The kind you could fit an entire family in. He's comfortable in there. Dogs are den animals, of course, that is why you can crate them. But I have found that wolves and wolfdogs are even more comfortable in them. Which makes sense.
He just sleeps and never is anxious when I return. Very calm. Then he goes back out into his enclosure.
A lot of this has to do with how he was raised though and all the time I spent with him. His brother (same litter) is not like this. He is very anxious to the point where Six Flags was unable to use him for their intention of interacting with the public.
If you go to www.restarea1mile.com/camelsandfriends/lorne.html -- There is a video there of his brother Wyatt appearing on a news program. You can see how anxious he is. I was told by his trainers he is like that all the time and they asked for advice and what I did different with Lorne.
So you may end up with a wolf/dog like that. I don't know where they went wrong, but at a certain age it is going to be very hard to fix.
camelsandfriends Thanks for the info, mate!
No problem! That is what I am here for and happy to help people help live their lives with animals better. :)
camelsandfriends I have a half Dingo and so similar :)
Absolute madhouse when I am around to "impress" but when I leave the house she is very content being alone and just rests in my room.
Seems their Wild Genes do come into play :)
What your Wolf would have in friendly agression my Dingo doggy is more "digging up omnivorous roots and trying to leap up and catch birds/bats to eat".
Weird kinda omnivorous behaviour from the Dingo blood.
Nåti M be careful that dingo doesn't eat your baby! I bet you've never heard that one before 😂😂
If I was robbing this house and came across that demon I would just put everything back including my own money and become a priest

Im dead😂😂
Lol, yall too much.
Dylan Doran saaaaammeee😂😂😂😂
Best comment I’ve ever read 😂😂
How nice to see sirius black adapting to his new home.
All those years looking for him but we finally found him!
+Chino Rodríguez So after he fell through that mirror thing, this is where he went. Standard
+Chino Rodríguez oml
+Chino Rodríguez too soon
let's admit it... he needed a break
Every time he looks at the camera, I get the shivers. He looks so intelligent and beautiful...a creature that demands respect.
As he rips up a carpet and rolls around
@@necromelodia2432 That's exactly what I was gonna comment🤣
Looks like he demands play time and treats... resources I would happily supply him with.
Nah, that demands scratches on its head.
You should go checkout white water wolfdogs he has been training wolfdogs ( high contents and lows).
Home security level: Russian.
Or Canadian, whatever floats your boat
Nah fam Russian security level would be a bear.
Canadian protection would be a grizzly bear asking you to leave very politely
Lundell rotfl thank u from a fellow canadian
leila lalala lmao I bet the dude would grow to an insane size, the bigger the animal the more respect we canucks have for it
That’s a Calupoh a Mexican breed by the way.
"mine"
"mine"
"this is mine"
"definitely mine"
"oh i like this, it's mine"
"you weren't using this were you? whoops, now it's mine"
"mine, mine, mine"
"miiiiiiine"
sounds like my wife
@@lokthar6314 Karen?
Is this from Finding Nemo? Lmao mine mine mine mine
Haha I was thinking the same thing.
LOL THAT WOLF IS A TROUBLE MAKER AND A HOGGER LIKE ME LOL
oh my dear lord he's just like "this is mine this is also mine and this is mine too, I know you hid the treats somewhere" and the other dog is just like "I will follow everywhere" both are very beautiful.
Shy Spencer u r too
"This is mine, this is also mine, and this... okay, all of THIS over HERE is mine and all of that nothing over there is yours. No! Don't come near it! But hey, cool glove right? IT'S MINE, TOO! All of this up on the shelves is mine, all of it!"
chrysb81
"But what about tha--"
"MINE TOO!"
???? don't know what u are talking about
The other dog recognizes the wolf as the alpha so whatever the wolf does it'll follow
"MOM GET IN THE CAR, WE'RE GETTING A DOG-"
Haha. :)
ok son thats a WOLF not a dog 😂
Lol
Can we keep it?
He is half dog & half wolf 😉😉
You can feel his restlessness and willingness to work.
Always wanted a Wolfdog or a Husky but pretty Exspenive
Interesting no i really can’t. I see her socializing really happily and looking they’re having a fun time just teasing each other.
Why? Because he is not sitting still? I guess humans sit still for hours without moving 😂

Dog: "you son of a bitch"
Deucalion he really is a son of a bitch tho he is the son of a female dog/wolf XDD
Deucalion hahahaha
Now I wish I could favorite comments...
Wolf: "Hey--I resemble that remark!"
Wolf is like "This is mine...this is mine...and this is also mine"
Yeah I know right ? It was so funny xD
Yeah wolves can be very territorial creatures. That's why in the wild, unknown wolves that come near a pack are met with aggression.
Lol true! And the dog is like..."Oh my dog could you not?!"
***** But the wolf is like "Bitch, this is my house now".
+MultiUnreal Wolves (we had one for 21 years) follow the toddler's creed. "If I want it, it's mine.
If I give it to you and change my mind later, it's mine.
If I can take it away from you, it's mine.
If I had it a little while ago, it's mine.
If it's mine it will never belong to anyone else no matter what.
If we are building something together, all the pieces are mine.
If it looks like mine, it's mine."
There is a young female wolf hybrid at our dog park that has a complete crush for my older dog. Every time without fail she makes a beeline for him and the pestering never stops. So cute you want to punch something.
Ian H. Awww :)
The most ancient best friend of man. He came into our camps to share our food and in return gave us safety and friendship. That is an ancient bond.
Would the wolf that approached man be a he or a she? If it was a he how did its seperate its cubs from mama wolf to create a generation of domesticated wolves?
In return, we do our best to protect them from PETA employees.
NecroMelodia It was younger wolves that came to those edges where the discarded (later purposefully offered) was - gender doesn’t enter into it for those earliest wolves, per various documentaries

That will surely keep the bad guys away from your house.
If you're a wolf/wolfdog owner, they probably won't. In order for you to own such an animal you need to prove them that you are in charge, aka you are the alpha of the "pack". Which means when something bad happens they'll hide and expect you, the leader, to deal with it.
Alex A But other wolves in the pack will help. Such as a deer getting mauled by more than one wolf. Yes you’re the alpha but that doesn’t necessarily mean your wolf won’t help you
It works with usual dogs too it doesnt have to be a wolf
wolves don't work so well as guard animals as a normal guard dog for the reasons Alex A. mentioned above they likely won't be so territorial as a dog. I've known a couple wolf dogs and they were very aggressive if you approached them personally but did not give a shit about people walking on their owner's property.
Alex A to further your point I hope people realize that if you have a wolf you better know how to assert dominance thoroughly or the wolf may attack you trying to assert it's own dominance....they are way more aggressive this way than domesticated dogs and have been known to kill their owners if the owners don't know this
Update: This person got tired of Lorne and got rid of him because he was "Too aggresive" and gave him to a sanctuary, effectively abandoning him after living with him for YEARS. Then they almost immediately took in another wolfdog with a biting problem and i'm pretty sure they're gonna end up getting rid of them too. I'm genuinely disappointed in this person and I feel terribly sorry for any wolfdogs that come their way.
are you serious?!
@@alyssabullock6421 Sadly yes. You can check their other videos and they "explain" why they got rid of that poor wolfdog.
@@lauraacevedo1308 I filled myself in, my goodness... that's terrible ):

Don't wolves like climbing into little cubbies behind flat screen TVs?????
It’s mounted to the thing it’s on
agbond003 how I first read your comment “how is that tv not dead?” It would be better that way
He's so rambunctious, and at the same time, so surprisingly well-behaved. Lorne gets into everything, but it's amazing how little he tears to shreds (I'm guessing the books don't last long).
He's not very destructive. He just likes to re-decorate. ;)
+camelsandfriends yes! Omg you just made my day!

Well he is black after all....

Please do not consider getting a wolfdog, people. Years of domesticating dogs have served an important purpose
Yes. And if you do still want to live with a wolf or wolfdog-- make sure you understand what you are getting into. If you do and that doesn't bother you, you could be among a small amount of people that can live happily with one. But odds are you are not.
This wolf here I raised from six weeks old. We have a very strong bond. When he was three years old he attacked me and I think would have killed me had I not reacted properly.
He was redirecting aggression onto me after being stung by fire ants. Not something I could control too much. But think about it. A domesticated dog isn't likely to do that to you and wouldn't be able to kill you as fast as a wolf can. But a predator acts on instinct and he jumped me the second he was in pain.
I have it on video if you look at his channel playlist. Something to watch before ever considering getting a wolf or wolfdog. I do not regret it, but I am a typical dog owner. I work with wild animals.

Most people can’t handle a regular dog bred to do work, like a hunting Labrador or border collie.
All it takes is for you to accidentally trigger it's wild instinct and it's over
For people that keep asking if wolf dogs are dangerous, yes. But not just wolf dogs. Any pet you have can be dangerous. A wolf dog may never bite anything but a toy in his/her life. Whereas a Chihuahua could bite your ankle. Wolf dogs have very watered down genetics. A wolf dog usually only has about 23% wolf in them but 77% husky or whatever else, the rest is domesticated dog meaning they are much safer than wolves. Wolf dogs are much more tame than a regular wolf. But they are still very messy, and do have natural instincts in them. Don't ever physically punish them or abuse them verbally or physically in any way that makes them feel threatened. Be gentle with them and you'll be fine.
Hello. I've had 2 German shepherds they were great companions... 1 short hair and the other long haired German Shepherd. The long hair was younger and when the old Shepherd passed, the long haired mourned the loss a very long time .... I like your videos and insight to the wolf dogs. TY.
The potential of harm is higher with a wolf dog though than it is with a chihuahua...
I think i would get a rotti first or mastif easier to trian
I have three now all females one 23 percent one 41 percent and one 26 percent all terrific dogs. Had four other females also terrific all lived to be 12 and 13 years two were 65 percent and one 22 percent
Well calupohs are well known in mexico to be super gentle and loyal. Dont remember last time my uncle got bitten by his dogs. He has been breeding calupohs for 37 years.
That wolf is the party god.

Trisha C+ He's actually pretty lazy. Wolves in the wild sleep a lot, too. They conserve their energy to be used in small bouts and spend a lot of time resting. But when he's awake, he's extremely intense. More than you can imagine with any dog- even working breeds.
camelsandfriends your 2 dog is very skinny=/
numaTruehome 100 You can read more about Lorne at www.camelsandfriends.com. He's from the Georgia zoo.
numaTruehome 100 Yes there was a strict screening process. The pups only go to educational facilities, zoos, and ambassador programs. Not for pets.
You can read more about Lorne on his web page here, his story, how I got him, etc.

@@foxxiangel6384 same or a husky.
Im sorry but I have one question: how are you keeping all your things intact, including that leather couch?
He's never been destructive. He just loves to move things around, get into things, be curious. But he has never torn anything apart, chewed on anything or otherwise caused damage in that way. Or really at all.
He has a lot of enrichment and things to do, so it keeps him mentally active. Any animal that is destroying a structure or furniture has lack of stimulation and has developed mental problems. It is not normal for a wolf, a dog or any animal to be focusing their energy on tearing up a couch...
camelsandfriends your wolf/ wolfdog is so cute. ^~^ 😄
Thanks!
DecayedSpaceMan n
camelsandfriends oh well thank you, Im actuslly thinking on adopting one ( i have experience with german shepards and husky )
so wolves are like dogs but dangerous and with ADHD
realhumanbean Not always dangerous. Normally in the wild when they spot humans they will run away.
wolves are only dangerous in packs. wolves on their own tend to be kinda lazy unless they are defending something they deem is theirs (like food or territory)
Scott Pantera or childs
I thought all dogs have ADHD
Extremely intelligent as well.

I had a purebred silver timber wolf 4 15 years & without any training he was so intelligent that he was easily the most well behaved animal I've ever owned. He was so wonderful that I just can't own any other pets after him; he single-handedly raised the bar so high that no 1 pet I would ever have could ever be able 2 meet the standard he met. I miss him every day. 😢

Nah fam ill just stick to a pug
ΔΙΞ X I know you’re joking but please don’t buy a pug, they’re bred so they can’t breath right because of their flat faces
@@gryphon50c so because they cant breathe properly they dont deserve a good home ??
German shepherds are apparently 10% wolf...
@@crossed7971 What he means to say is don't "order" one or purchase pugs from breeders, because that will only encourage them to make more pugs. If you see one at the shelter by all means adopt the pug, but know you are also in for a long list of likely problems. The breed has so much wrong with it compared to other dogs with breathing, hips, jaws and eyes. Plenty of articles are out there about the genetic nightmare that is the modern pug.
I had a pug for 7 years. Pugs are the easiest dog to take care of. Once I got my german shepherd mix huge different. Higher energy level, more work, for food, higher intelligence, more toys, more training required but she can be train easily and extra. Wow! I suggest pug to everyone!
I can appreciate a wild animal but clearly this wolf dog doesn’t belong in the house. He’s restless and just destroying everything. He needs to be outside where he can run and let out his energy.
Excuse my intrution, this did isn't destructive. Its playing n being active. So many items were there it never chewed or torn anything. Did you see that leather sofa? Not a scratch on them. Its given enough EXCERSIZEgiven it's really happy.
I keep a wolf dog in the house and he will chew shoes if given a chance my tiny mixed breed mutt is way more destructive. He is a their and will steal all kinds of things and hide them in his den ( An extra large kennel covered in sheets in his own bedroom).
That wolf dog needs to got to the wolf and wildlife reuse not in your house
EXACTLY
This wolf has no chill. he keeps moving and going. the little dog is like the chaperone making sure the wolf behaves
Toe Knee
not a wolf
Wow you can practically see the intelligence gleaming in its eyes.
To those probably Wondering
Wolfdog's or wolves aren't pets , but its really if you either treat them like the Dog side or wolf side
It been a bit a problem for some folks who think they could handle them
Which either try then abandon or Taken to a sanctuary (which are overflowing with them)
If you think of getting one
Be very very very very very Sure you know what you are getting yourself into
Wolfdog's aren't monsters they're just a bit confused of what they are
But With him I think he was a pup when you got him or am i wrong ?
I got him at 6 weeks old, yes. I have been attacked by him though. But-- it was not his fault. You just must be aware these are powerful animals. I explain the situation here: th-cam.com/video/WMPwPBwcJXw/w-d-xo.html&t

Oh i am
I was just letting anyone else who sees this too really think about what they decide to do
Say good bye to your couch
I raised one, 75% timber.... and this is the most Accurate post I've ever seen on them. They're indeed NOT Pets. ...b/c they're way too smart to "accept" a Pet role. They get bored easily. They may even learn how to open cabinets and doors. And if they just happen to have the inherent genetics to want to be the "Alpha" then you're really in for a Ton of problems. ...the friendliest way to describe them is a "Charity Adopt" for ppl who only have a part time job
they are smart like dogs, but are predators, and test weather or not they can become leaders, so, if you can t wresle smth like this and win, it s bad
This is the type of dog you will come back house and see your couch destroyed, haha.
Yep haha my malamute is 10% timber wolf he has ate 2 sofas
+Halal Angel That could be a probably or for sure. They cannot be left alone in the house!

I can imagine him having a really deep, majestic, yet excited voice if he was able to talk. Saying, "I LOVE this window, I love this couch, I love this rug! I shall engage in a wrestle with this slightly smaller than me yellowish brother of mine. Ah, yes, back to the rug."
I always let my dog on my couch
Why?
Because theyre a part of my family not some slave
it's best to let them on after they know you're the alpha, otherwise they use to 'exercise' their power as alpha
Mine don't get on the sofa, because I am alpha and it's my sofa. They have their own arm chairs in another room, they are still part of the family but know where their place is and never step out of line because after all is said and done, they are animals and people need to remember that.
+Frankie H And you think you're what ? A mineral ?
+Byoboy33 yep 👍🏻
Dogs aren't pack animals and wolves don't ''enforce their place as alpha'', they act as parents, because that's all an ''alpha'' is. Alphas don't move others to lay where they are, they let the others eat first in times of scarcity, they usually walk at the back of the pack, and they don't usually pin or fight others within the pack. A wolf pack is made of a breeding pair and typically 3 years of offspring in the wild. Unless you're their offspring congrats, you pretty much are ''alpha''.
My pups sleep on the bed and get the the couch whenever they want and they are wonderful pets. Very friendly, terrific listeners, just all around awesome pets. Just as the original commenter said, they're family, not slaves. :)
I'll pass. Ill just get a husky
Same shit 😂😂😂
Lol 900 shut up I bet ur like 9 because of ur profile picture stupid bitch fuck outta here
thats the safest option. people that dont want one or think that they cant handle one should not get one for the own animals safety and well-being. too many neglected wolfdogs come into our sanctuary and its only the owners to blame.
@@uncleb6391 Mr Lumbago!
I love huskies
He is not a 'black husky'. Check out this guide, it is very informative and can help you tell the different between a domesticated dog and a wolf. It's a pretty neat guide: facebook.com/camelsandfriends
Who would even say that lol he looks like a German Shepard if we're choosing what he looks similar too
+Dragonetta There was a comment once of somebody saying "That's just a black husky!" or something like that, but the one who left it deleted it shortly after. It really was stupid.
+Dragonetta From what I gather from TH-cam, a lot of people may be getting eaten by Black Huskies or German Shepherds at least once in their life. When people meet Lorne in person- I have never heard that once. They know. Is it TH-cam? Is it seeing him in person? I'll never know.
+Benjamin Riggs Wolves and dogs cannot be hybrids- they are too closely related to hybridize. You must not have proper experience about wolves are wolfdogs to be able to tell the difference, but that is okay. It is not normally common knowledge. You probably do not also realize that he is still a puppy in this a video and that wolves take a long time to mature. And you probably do not realize the variation in genetics between wolves all around the world, depending upon climate mostly. There is 0% Husky in the animal in this video. There is no real Nordic features period- even if you want to say he is a 'hybrid' with a Husky.
+Benjamin Riggs Mexican Red Wolves are critically endangered. A 2007 survey of them only found a few hundred left in the entire world. There is absolutely no way that is possible or else if you found one as a pup in the wild, you should have turned him over to a conservation project. That is a real shame. I don't know if they'll ever be able to recover because the gene pool is too narrow.
Lorne is not a Mexican Red Wolf, he is an entirely different sub-species of the Gray Wolf. Which are very very different. He was bed at a zoo focusing on conservation to go to other programs for educational animals. I really hope that if you had a Red Wolf, you were involved in a breeding program and working with the efforts to restore their numbers. They are going to be extinct in our lifetime. It's very sad.
I just wanted to say that your animals are all beautiful and are clearly very well cared for.
also to those who don't scroll through comments, the blond dog isn't skinny or malnourished that us simply the free of dog it is, so you guys saying that the dog isn't being cared for is as dumb as complaining about a hairless cat not having fur.... exactly it's dumb so stop jumping to conclusions.
lol Lorne is like a child that learned to walk, gets into everything and leaves destruction in is wake. But one look at that face and you melt.
I was blessed for a little over 20 years to have a wolf hybrid. I raised him from a pup and he loved to play, he was docile, full of love and wouldn't harm a fly. He never showed aggression at anyone. He was also black with white on the chest on paws.
Wait he lived 20 years?! That's very long. My family has had 3 wolfdogs, but they were pretty crazy
Sirius Black is alive!! Harry will be so happy to hear :D
I thought the same thing haha
Wolves are just giant german shephards. They're not deadly and vicious (most of the time) and they often get scared of people in the wild. They're beautiful creatures
If they're in a pack they'll kill a person no problem.
boogiechillen123 Yeah maybe if they are starving, but when they have the choice they'd much rather not pray on a humans.
boogiechillen123 So will dogs. In fact, dogs kill people a lot more than wolves do. Where I live, only two people have died because of wolves in 200 years... and both times, the wolves were bottle-raised. Wild wolves kill people so rarely you might just as well be afraid of unicorns goring you, or land-sharks falling from the skies.
Spicky Clean Wolves are not the fierce monsters they make them out to be, but it would be careless to casually approach one and expect to let itself be petted.
Heyy Hoyy It's clearly not just a dog. It's got wolfs low hanging tail and it's eyes are close to each other like wolfs. Not a wolf, not a dog, but a wolfdog. It's acting like a wolf too.
your other dog looks like it hasnt ate in months
+MizukiUkitake It is because that is the breed of dog.
there not starving him its just the breed of dog he it is thin
kennidee lee Agreed. I'm so sick and tired of people like that who say a dog is skinny because the hybrid takes there food. I have rescued hybrids and I have a wolf and a wolf hybrid that are mine. I also have 2 other dogs one is a gray hound and people always say it is skinny because the other steal her food. They don't steal her food. She is that way because of her breed. People who say that don't have a wolf or wolf hybrid. They just go by all those myths about them.
Jaisa MCclain yes, they don't have the dog so they don't understand
MizukiUkitake Then don't comment that. The way you said that above was very rude. Next of all yes dogs are pack animals. The alpha dose not take over the other dogs food. The alpha get the good stuff. The other gets the rest. Do research before commenting because if you did you would also know that. The wolf is feed separate. It is feed a raw meat diet (Heart, liver, leg, head extra) The other is ether feed three ways a different type of raw meat diet that adds veggies, canned food or dog food. Wolfs live of nothing but meat and can not serve on dog food. Dogs need meat, veggies and grain. So you would know if before commenting doing research or knowing. What you are talking about.
That's not a wolf.....that's my grandkids! lol.
You can tell he's a wolf by the sounds he's making.
NOt really, He is a wolfdog. His markings and structure show dog traits.
such wolf
much dog
which one??
awoo or woof???
very confuse
so cute
I'M SORRY I HAD TO OH GOD I'M AWFUL
thanks!!
Idek wut Why does no one love you?
Steve McBOSS I can assure you, lots of people love me (:
Idek wut ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
+Idek wut I am pretty sure I saw you in the comment section of another vid like this.
Party everyday
*IT'S THE COSMIC PARTY WOLF*
You had better get that refrance I swear
Bruh, forget the wolf in the video. You need to feed your dog
lol I said the same thing like you can see the dogs rib cage i guess the wolf is eating all his food
That type of dog is naturally skinny
you now nothing
+Kurayza Tr actually you don't its know* not now
+Neurogaming I've owned whippets and greyhounds and they don't have their ribs sticking out like that. It's too skinny
Lorne seems to be a kleptomaniac AND a hoarder! I wouldn't be surprised if you come home one day and find your beanbag strewn about the whole house!! Upon returning home from dinner our Doberman did just that! Me and my boyfriend froze (seeing the carnedge) looked each other and laughed SO hard I couldn't breathe! (wish I had a picture) it took days and days and days to clean it up, beanbag 'guts' EVERYWHERE!!!! woof
BLACK WOLF! .....anyone seen that documentary
Just watched it before this. He's a legend !!!
A legend indeed
+xXMythicXx He's a very good example of how an *individual* can break the mould of what an animal can or should end up like.
+xXMythicXx I just found what looks like a second documentary about Black Wolf. /watch?v=WlRc6i_db9Q
+xXMythicXx facebook.com/Wolf-dog-Hybrid-Europe-1065314250165763/?ref=aymt_homepage_panel
you know what upsets me the most the fact that Wolf was man's first best friend but now we treat them like the enemy
He's a house wrecker for sure!
as with any wild or partial wild animal.
a cute one
hes just a lil rascal XD i wanna hug him.
My favorite part is when he opens and tries to flip through the photo album.
Cats and Dogs aren't the only ones that can have fun like this.
My wolf: you see that expensive shit right there?
Yeah imma break that
Me: why would you do that
My wolf: idk i just don't like that thing
Me: that doesn't make any sen-
My wolf :*yeets himself at whatever he wants to destroy*
This wolf: moves around normally and doesn't destroy anything
Where did i go wrong lmao
Nothing necessarily wrong. He just has a playful personality. I have two German Shepherds and one of them is very laid back. I usually find him relaxing on my couch.
The other? ....Pretty much that.
@@pcmld2267 lmao, he once deadass threw his whole 70kg body at a 4000€ piano, i love him but sometimes he be trippin
@@janinep4349 that was the actual issue, he dislikes staying in doors, he loves the garden tho
You should go checkout white water wolfdogs he has been training wolfdogs ( high contents and lows).
"Serius black in his off-time away from Harry"
You got a wolfdog abut your house is set up in a frilly way.
My house is very minimalistic. All the furniture is leather (older not $3000 new stuff) and my two German Shepherds have full reign of the place.
Nothing is off limits. Couches, chairs, kitchen - even the basement.
At the same time, nothing is set up to fail. Pictures on the wall are waist high or higher.
Built in dining room cabinet is real wood drawers and glass doors are above waist height.
My place is SO DOG FRIENDLY that I command bot dogs to sit in the kitchen, next to the fridge and clearly out of sight of the other rooms.
I then hide about 1/4 lb of pepperoni slices ALL OVER THE HOUSE.
Window sills (up high!), under chairs, on the built in, between cushions, in my bedroom etc...
Once im done, I give the release command and watch them hunt.
Ever see a GS push a couch to get to a treat? It's pure hunting instincts.
This pays off in spades - When I walk them off leash, they follow commands with military precision because they KNOW that I balance it off with fun time!
He's a wolf and he doesn't live inside. He has an enclosure outside. Wolves aren't meant for indoor living.

Raylan Givens i
Raylan Givens Yay! My house is dog friendly, too!! It makes life so fun!
Raylan Givens I am so glad to hear this. There are so many people who are in awe of how “well-trained” my dogs are, but u nailed it: they are well-LOVED and everything else follows.
I have a 9 year old Male Alaskan Malamute/Timber Wolf . He is so laid back and such a gentleman. In the almost 2 years that he has been with me, not one bit of agression towards me. I honestly wouldn't trade him for anything.
Same I got a pit wolf mix, big ol softy, won't chew a thing, not even the chew toys I get him. He's happy but just nibbles on them and carries them around. Black with a white patch on his belly which makes him look like he got a tuxedo. Not only that but he loves to cross his legs when laying down
Phew! Thank Gosh, Shaggydog is still alive!!!! (Game of Thrones fans will understand that lol xD)
you just reminded me to watch last night's episode
oh my gosh i know :)
Lovella5 he died
Ramsey never caught him ! It was a fake obviously
What percent of wolf is he? I have a high content wolf bout 85%^. One thing I love about him he never barks just howls when we are gone. Had him for almost a year and we started to use a training collar and it has had amazing results.
+Luis Ville "Purebred"
I do love that Lorne doesn't bark as well.
I would love to see a picture or video- if you have one.
No shit sherlock you cant train a wolf like a domestic dog. Training collars are not cruel and are very effective if used properly as a deterrent to train negative or unsafe behavior out of him with effective results.
+Katalyne Harbour put one in ur hand and shock it on level 10 and under u wont feel anything
+Katalyne Harbour your existence is cruel
+Katalyne Harbour hahahahahaha.you just want one ...but. your mother doesn't buy a wolf-dog hahahaha...what a bitch
I was like "Oh God, *not* the T,V," !! Hahahaha He's a messy little so and so ;-)
Mine got in the habit of running from house to house in our neighborhood, getting treats from everyone before returning home. Before the owners got to know who I was, I asked two separate neighbors, one was a trooper and the other coast guard, if the wolf dog was bugging them. They told me he is fine and to leave him alone, almost in a semi hostile way. No I replied, he is my baby, just want to make sure you don't have a problem with him running around, they both smiled and said he is a pleasure to have around. He was huge, people would joke that he was actually a small horse disguised as a dog. He spent many years with us, my kids grew up with him. Sadly he died of cancer last winter. Best pet and friend I ever had.
Those growls are terrifying. o_o
GalaxyTARDIS It's the dog that's growling not the wolfdog.
***** No it wasn't... The uploader even said so.
The funny thing is: I never said It was the wolf or the dog, I just commented on the growling. Either way it's fuckin' scary.
GalaxyTARDIS Ehh it's not scary really but I guess it is for you lol
TheGrayWolf81 Imagine a dog or wolf making THOSE sounds at you. You can't tell me you WOULDN'T run the other way.
PLEASE!!! do not advocate the ownership of wolves or wolf hybrids!! you are getting a wolf that has no fear of humans but is a wolf pure and simple at heart...the only thing you will accomplish is a "dog" everyone is afraid of and ruin it for the rest of us that are trying to make a good name for the breed!!!!!
they already made a video on why you shouldn't get one...
Robber: "Welp...moving on...I think next state would be a better choice..."
You should go checkout white water wolfdogs he has been training wolfdogs ( high contents and lows).
That big guy is just crackling with energy. Wow. Absolutely beautiful.
he messed up the dang house
These Calupoh “wolfdogs” are very messy. Super energetic. They belong out at wide open spaces not locked up in a living room.
Right? You can see his spirit is wild.
It doesn't exist 'locked up in a living room' . Do some research before making unfounded comments.
Nick H “belonged” don’t make stupid responses without reading the comment first
@@tecumsehzacateco8798 ????
Agreed
that is a BEAUTIFUL wolfdog/ whatever that beauty is. XD
+Juliana Zoellner Aw I'll tell him you said so.
okay. :)
but where did you get him, i've always wanted a wolfdog but i have never known where to get them.
+Juliana Zoellner Lorne is very difficult to care for. They need extreme enclosures to keep them contained. They are highly intelligent and stronger than the average dog- meaning if you make a mistake you are probably not going to be able to fend him off.
I'm going to be doing some videos soon that will cover what owning a wolf or wolfdog is actually like, but in the mean time, Lorne and I just had a discussion thread on Reddit.
There is some very valuable information there you should look over and then decide if you still really want one.
www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/3w7q7i/im_raising_a_wolf_as_an_animal_ambassador_he/?sort=top
Thank you so much! :)
+Juliana Zoellner this animal is violent D:
My aunt has a Blue Heeler, his name is. Maddox. He’s very kind, gentle and never barks. He doesn’t bite. My aunt went to an Animal Shelter. His original owner abused him, so he’s scared of people. But once you get to know him, he’s actually really kind and not shy! I’ve created a forever lasting bond with him, and come over to see him often. My aunt also had a German Shepherd named Zoey, she was very kind and peaceful like Maddox. She was Kayleigh’s dog (Kayleigh is aunt’s daughter). Unfortunately, Zoey died at age 1. My mom’s friend has a Brown Lab with beautiful blue eyes and his name is Blue. Blue is also peaceful, except they keep him in the garage cause they don’t want hair all over the couch.
That wolf is messing up everything - Ha
***** i love wolves so much
You should really get him a backyard, or some more space so he can run around. He seems really active.
Ashantii Blackbird he is kept on an enclosure outside it was said in a different comment chain
Oh ok that's good, thanks for telling me that
I Like the Part when The Wolf Reads the Book^!!^
Wow. What a gentle baby. For a wolf dog to
Play so carefully with your smaller dog is adorable, and impressive! A+ for training^^
Dianith Rosa some dogs are just naturally better at playing than others no training required for that
Behold the fearsome wolf! Abuser of beanbags and chewer of things. So fierce and vicious! Only not.
Wolfdogs seem like no joke! That thing could tear your neck out!
Thats some happy wolf
their default mode seems to be: find stuff that's hidden, move it to a different place, find another thing, repeat. Just like in the wild, always switched on, always searching for and stashing items, definitely not as docile as your average dog. A survival machine.
that wolf has pretty eyes
My dear, you have... ...The Grim!
But Professor trelawney I don't give a s***
He is a stunning wolf hybrid. I hope to someday meet him. Have a good one! Keep up the good work with all your furkids ♡
I believe he is a pure wolf, however. Unsure of the white patch of fur on his chest. I have never worked with a pure wolf, only wolf hybrids, coyote hybrids and a coyote wolf hybrid. The coywolf has a white patch on his chest. So he may have a great grandpa who was a dog. :) Beautiful creatures, they are. Perfect animals.
+Nissalius Chrystalis Thank you
+Nissalius Chrystalis I live in Montana I see wolves all the time I do believe this is part wolf and part German Shepherd Maybe.. He is not built as big as a wolf wolves are very muscular and thick
+Nissalius Chrystalis actually a lot of black pure wolves have white patches on there chests.
For anyone wondering, that's the new dog breed called Caluppoh, originated from Baja California, Mexico.
Aren't you the girl that said "Wolves/Wolfdogs aren't friends"
He is rubbing his scent everywhere and by leaving food lying around = accident waiting to happen.
Lorne was born at a zoo in Georgia who breeds a select number of wolf pups to be used for educational purposes and for ambassadors for their species. Lorne's brother, Wyatt can be seen at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom in Vallejo, California. Lorne is being raised with the hope of using him in educational talks to raise awareness for an often misunderstood animal. Despite media attention that wolves in the wild have stabilized their numbers, they are still very much at risk. Wolf hunting continues to persist, both legally and illegally. Wolves are still stigmatized in society, especially by farmers and ranchers who if merely seeing a wolf will on sight, no matter the threat. This mentality is hurting our intelligent friend, whose relationship and companionship led us to the domesticated dog we have today and love. Lorne visits with the public regularly and even though he's just a cub, he has instantly charmed his way into the hearts of many others who before misunderstood and feared one of our closest ties to the natural world.Lorne is a subspecies of the Grey (or Timber) Wolf. He was born in April (wolves are only born in the spring, unlike domesticated dogs) and until he came to me just shy of 7 weeks was used in meet-and-greets at the Georgia zoo. In July he went on a trip across the United States from out West to Chicago. Unfortunately once there, he swallowed a small slip lead and had to have a life threatening surgery to remove it. His recovery was remarkable and the vet that preformed the surgery said it was the fastest she had ever seen. Wolves are strong and very adaptable. Their immune system due to their varied gene pool and lack of interbreeding as seen in domesticated dogs, makes them lack the health problems they often do. It was a scary time, but thankfully today you wouldn't even know it ever happened (except for the constant reminder of paying off the bill!). I'm working with Lorne every day and I hope that he is able to continue to reach out to the public as he matures. It is common that wolves once establishing a territory upon reaching adulthood have trouble leaving it and feel much more comfortable at home than in strange places. We will see what path Lorne wants to follow in life, but I hope that he will be kind enough to continue to make a positive impression on others and be an ambassador for his species.
That other dog looks REALLY skinny. The ribcage is completely showing.
It's just bc of the type of dog she/he is
keepleft fatty detected
Have you ever seen a fat wolf in the wild?
The wolfdog has so much energy he's going crazy
Goddammit Moon Monn stop messing up the carpet!
+tonsstar Moon Moon, is such a gosh dang embarrassment. ;)
if your home has plenty of outdoor area for the dog to frolic in there's no problem in owning one of these
If you live in a crammed apartment with other pets, it borders on abuse
