Like is it possible to create a dog breed that will actually be superior, to the original wolf in every way? Even dogs that are specialized in different areas are still little compared to the wolf.
Answer
i knew a guy who had a wolf, not one of these fake mixes where they supposedly bought a wolf mix and in truth its just a Doberman and husky mix...a real wolf 100%. and i said did cause he tried to raise it from pup after he found a few of them trying to suckle a dead mother and managed to catch the one. they are sly and cunning and smart enough to let themselves out of a crate, and vindictive, and hyper, and most of all NOT trainable. now mind you this guy works at the st. louis zoo and works training animals and was gonna try to get this one healthy enough to be placed in a zoo...but in 6 months time realized that a wolf has no business living with a man, and even if it did breed with a dog the mix would take someone much better than this guy who works with tigers and bears all day to deal with it.
so better in what way? better to live with man? it has already been done.
better hunters? doubt it cause dogs have been domesticated.
faster runners? well if we can ever put 2 side by side on a track without them trying to kill each other we will find out that answer.
but as for better, i think they already are. a wolf would not protect you...its instincts tell it to care for itself
a wolf only likes you when you are feeding it, a dog loves you all the time.
so sorry but the dog already wins in this competition

I show dogs and right now I am looking at bringing in another?
kristiW
My dog now is very fearful of other dogs-wont bite,but just gets big eyes and stiffens up.My problem is,.. this show puppy is amazing and I want him but how do I bring him in with out freaking my current dog out?
Answer
I too show dogs but I do it all over the world. I have three different breeds and have 10 show dogs at the moment.
My house can be a sort of zoo at times or a three ring circus whichever they are in the mood for at that time. For the most part they all behave and have no issues with one another.
Some of the dogs I have breed myself and have been here since they were born, but most of them were purchased and brought into the home from 3 months to 6 months of age.
The best thing for you to do is to implement crates with your dogs. I try to keep the new dog separate when in turnout or play time from the other dogs at first. This is good for two reasons. First it prevents accidents from happening, and the second it keeps my other dogs from picking up anything from the puppy if it has anything.
If I have had the vet look at the puppy already, we move right into the introducing and socialization period. This involves placing the new puppy by the other dogs in the house. All of them in their crates while it is bed or house time. I still let them outside or in the house to play separate. If I have a particular dog that I think that I will have problems with them accepting the new dog, I will start off with the new one closer to a different dog and gradually every night get them closer and closer to the problem dog.
This would work well in your situation by allowing your other dog to adjust to there being a new puppy in the house. Also letting the new puppy sleep on a towel or blanket a few days and then placing that item into the crate with the problem dog will help them get adjusted to the smell of the new puppy prior to having the new puppy next to them.
I dont know what breeds you have, but in my house we have dobermans and parson russells both of which can be territorial. They are usually great with new dogs, but I never take any chances especially when each one comes with a thousand dollar or more price tag. It is better to go slowly, get them used to being by each other while in crates, and then slowly go to socialization out of the crates.
The next thing that I do is have someone with the other dog on a leash and the puppy on a leash. They can smell each other, love on each other, or we can get them separated quickly. The best thing for you to do when the older dog is being accepting and not nervous/scared is to REWARD them for being that way. Do not reward them when they act badly. Do not anticipate that your dog is going to react in their "regular" way as they can pick that up off of you and then they will be more likely to react in that way even though it is not what you want them to do.
Once they are accepting of each other on the leash, leave one of them on the leash (this would be the puppy in your case), and let the older dog loose. Allow the older dog to smell, sniff, lick, clean, play, etc with the new puppy as long as they are being nice. If the older dog refuses to come up to you since you have the puppy, have some treats. Again reward (includes the treats) when they do what you what them to do- like coming to you to check out the puppy. Each of these phases can take several days to months depending on how much time you have to do it and the readiness of your dogs to accept it.
Once they are fine like this- meaning that the older dog will come up and be a normal dog with the puppy, you can take the puppy off of the leash. The thing that will scare your older dog is when the puppy goes bounding around the house just being a puppy. They will either get used to it by acceptance (maybe joining in too) or they will run and hide. Again, initiate friendly joint play with toys and reward your older dog when it does what you want it to in reaction.
There will be a time when the older dog will do the I am dominant thing or when the puppy will try and the older dog will say no. It is important that both of them know that YOU are alpha and not one of them. This will alleviate many problems in your household.
I have had one dog in the past 25 years that I just could not let be around the others. It was also one of my best dogs ever winning multiple performance awards. The dog was good enough for me to go the extra mile and keep it separate and run two shifts with the dogs.
Try not to leave them alone together even in the future until you are completely certain that they are getting along well together. Even though you say that your dog will not bite, you are bringing a new dog into its territory (I dont know the breed so dont know if this is a major or minor issue with their breeds), and anything might happen as their is always a first for everything.
I hope this helps! Good luck and hope to see you in the ring!
