I want a wolf hybrid once I'm on my own
Which sucks, because I'm probably not fit to raise one.
Our neighbor has a wolf hybrid, and she's very shy and well-behaved, but setting aside my anecdote, it should be self-evident why a part-wolf dog might not be the easiest thing in the world to raise.
Comments
Technically all dogs are part wolf. Or rather full wolf, since the domestic dog is a type of wolf.
Wikipedia suggests the behaviour differences between wolfdogs and full domestic dogs are overblown, if not nonexistent.
However irrational, I would like a wolf/eagle hybrid as a pet.
He is the best fucking dog ever and I will duel anyone to the death who says otherwise.
I'm going to settle for one of the wolf-like dogs, like a German Shepherd. They start out cute and end up beautiful.
i want a polar bear dog thing
I guess the biggest issue would actually be that they're less predictable than more domestically-bred dogs, as opposed to being more aggressive or something. I wonder how much truth there is to the idea that you need to make it clear that you're the Alpha, or something like that. In the end, there are probably just the same risks as with any other big dog, if raised improperly.
If it were at all reasonable, I'd rather have a bear as a pet, though.
If he wouldn't have wanted to lob my head off at the first opportunity, I'd like to have a tiger. Just imagine what would cuddling with a tiger look like!
You know, if/when I get a pet of my own...I'm okay with just getting a cat.
Just gonna leave this here, in the name of the bear owner master race that I can only look up to.
Now I want to own a bear. Damn you, Everest, for making me suffer another impossible dream.
I met someone with a pet wolf. As in pure wolf
The guy was the friendliest thing ever. And he was perfectly behaved at a Renaissance Fair, of all places
^^
You mean like this?
^ I have that toy
^^ Yes, but even cooler and stuff.
Oh my god I think I have that toy too.
OP: For some reason I thought you wanted a wolf that ran on both gasoline and electricity.
^^^ C'mon, he's a robotic space alien that acts like a knight. How much cooler do you get, as far as wolf/eagle hybrids go?
Also, I don't have that toy, but I don't really care for the Beast Wars toys that much anyway.
OP: I couldn't help thinking of this thread as "I want to be a wolf-hybrid when I'm on my own." I've spent too long reading SA threads about crazy otherkin people.
More on-topic, an ex-colleague of mine used to own a husky, in the middle of the English countryside. Apparently, they take a massive amount of exercising, so they're not exactly city pets. I assume the same goes for wolf-dogs.
This, but if we're talking about nonsensical hybrids, I'd like a dragon/cat thingy. Probably would look completely stupid, though.
Cats are less smelly and make better pillows anyway.
What about an eagle? There are falconers (eaglers?) in Central Asia that hunt with eagles. This reminds me of a sure-fire way to attract chicks:
1) buy a sturdy protective glove
2) stand in the park
3) raise gloved hand and shout "Thunder! Where are you?" (you may substitute anything badass for Thunder)
4) tell girls you are worried that your falcon got lost
5)eagle returns with a cute furry creature and they give you shit for it/they try to pet the eagle and it mauls their faces
If that doesn't get you a date, nothing will.
^^ The thing is, this method requires no actual falcon. It can't fail!
The one other time I saw that falcon thing was when a girl I had a crush on at the time posted it on Facebook wondering if it would work on guys. And I was like yes that would work on me if you did that.
Anyway, I've learned by now that I'm really not cut out for owning a pet. I got over that desire a long time ago. I just like visiting other people's dogs!
One of my uncles had a siberian dog wolf thing, she was extremely calm and rarely did anything besides laying down or strolling about, even when prompted.
She had puppies, one of which holy fuck, was the most annoying shit ever, like one of those hyperactive cartoon dogs except more relentless and aggressive (it wasn't dangerous since its teeth are stupid, but annoying nonetheless).
You know, when I think of it, you've got a point here.
