I want a pet wolf

Are you being serious? Because I could go into detail about what they actually need in order to raise and provide proper care and containment for them.

You'd be much better off with a German Shepherd - or even a Husky or Malamute though. If you've already had any of those (or any other large, high-energy dog) then you might be ready for a lower content wolfdog.

Anything above mid content has much more strict needs though, so they're really best left to people who are more experienced and devoted to accommodating them. They're amazing animals, but they don't make good "pets" for the average person - rather, they're a special kind of companion for a special kind of person. = )

Gorgeous ~ Sable German Shepherd? c:

Actually, she's an agouti husky. Bird for size comparison. They're smaller than regular huskies.

You know I wondered if she might be! If she was a Sable GSD, she definitely had an off-standard look to her but it was hard to tell with her curled up like a donut. : P

Is she a pure Siberian? If not, I still wouldn't rule out some shepherd in the mix; she looks like she could be half and half in my honest opinion - but she's absolutely gorgeous either way.

Agoutis aren't necessarily any smaller than regular huskies, though - it all comes down to genetics, and size has absolutely nothing to do with color. I know of several, mostly in working and racing lines, and they're no smaller than normal Sibes.

I have a Sable/Agouti Husky-Shepherd mix myself, and she's 70 pounds.

No you didn't. You had a husky, a malamute, or a german shepherd - maybe a mix of all three, even. But you did not have a "pet wolf". Why? Because you would have been feeding it raw meat every day or it would have died; they cannot digest dog food or even cooked meat properly and it will give them life-threatening stomach problems to live off of it on a long-term basis.

You would have had to pay thousands to build a 9+ foot tall fence with lean-ins at the top and dig guards around the entire base, because they are the Houdinis of the canine world and can escape damn near any enclosure (hence why zoos and wildlife sanctuaries are so serious about theirs) and once they get out, they do not come back home - they take off for good and end up dead because captive-bred wolfdogs and wolves absolutely cannot survive in the wild, so you definitely did not have a wolf that hunted its own food and stayed close to home.

Pro tip: if you thought the animal in this picture is a wolf, that just proves you can't tell a "wolf" really is a wolf or not. It's a mid content, meaning about half wolf and half dog; drastically different from a real high-content or 'pure' wolf.

If you still believe you had a pet wolf, post a picture and prove me wrong.
