People will buy these dogs bc they want a cool dog without being prepared to handle and care for the dogs properly.

Better than getting the wolf tho...am i right

[@doodlywizarddog8020]

Amy Ann Yeah, thats the sad truth

[@yowzki7284]

You must get a begginer small and easy to train dogs before you get these dogs

[@deltanovember1672]

Yes, sadly that happens with many fashionable breeds. Take the Cane Corso as an example of a current dog trend.

[@pauliinapain3595]

Same goes for many breeds of dog unfortunately. It is important for the breeders to be very careful when choosing a family and a home for a puppy.

[@JoshuaCairns]

When I was a kid we had a malamute that weighed in at 82kg and another that weighed 70kg. Both were gigantic and very lean. We used them to pull our cars out of the snowbank when we got stuck, and we often gave them exercise by having them pull a small car or a large sled.

Prisoner of Hope in the Privatized American Dream Lol, I don’t know where you’re from pal but fox is a term for an attractive woman. You should go back to your cave. Talk about taking something too literally.

[@wurble]

I've always been a fan of dogs that don't look too far removed from their wolf ancestors. It's why I could never see myself having something like a pug, yorkie or bulldog. Working line German Shepherds are definitely my preferred breed. I just adopted a 5 year old GSD called Anya a couple of months ago. I was becoming quite inactive and reclusive due to lock down and losing my old dog at the beginning of the year. Rescuing Anya has completely turned that around!

[@grog5564]

According to Dr. Stanley Coran, a professor of psychology and noted author on dog behavior, the dog breed most like the wolf behaviorally is the German Shepherd. His reason, unlike Huskies or Malmutes, you can not take the leadership away from a German Shepherd without a fight. I have owned many GSD's. If you love them and treat them like your family, you will have a very intelligent companion and member of your family.

[@deecyp64]

German shepherds are ugly af tbh. If You want a dog that looks more like a wolf, is more intelligent, more tame and more healthy than a german shepherd get an old german herding dog.

[@wurble]

[@MichelleBln]

I’m missing the White Swiss shepherd. They tend to be a bit taller than the GSD, have a higher tail and longer legs. Their temperament, although not too different from the GSD, is bit more timid and untrusting of strangers. They don’t look 100% like arctic wolves but I think for a dog with 0 wolf in it they come quite close 😊

[@laus7504]

[@jinkypuhawan6670]

[@Gwenhwyfar7]

Seeing this video makes me realize how wolf like my dog actually was. In 2006 I adopted what they called an Alaskan Husky. She was 98 pounds, typical Malamute mask, very tough, one blue eye one amber eye, very dark red and white coat, and shed her entire coat in the spring so she looked like an entirely different dog with hardly any red, shedding not just her under coat, but a lot of the rest, too! But she looked just a little more wolf than the average malamute does, and was much taller than any malamute I've ever met. Everyone thought she was Malamute and wolf, because her size and her tail was not curled most of the time, but straight and down like a wolf. Her nose was much longer than either a Husky or a malamute's should be. She was food aggressive, but otherwise loved all other dogs, but made sure they knew she was the boss and would not put up with disrespect. She acted quite a lot like a wolf, but also very intelligent and so funny! Best dog ever. We spent a lot of time camping in national forests so she could be herself, and traveled all over the US with her for 11 years!

[@abetoledo9829]

Like rescue dogs, meet wolves, and go meet the people who own the special types of dogs you do videos about? I just think it's incredible and hope I could do something like that some day.

Our german shepard was around 50Kg, she was even bigger than some males. She was howling like a wolf and she had a grey and silver ish color was very wolfy for me :) She had a completely different fur than our current german shepard. At the winter time she had a very tick fur very soft short fur closer to her body and long rough outer fur, at the summer time she dropped it and had a normal german shepard fur.

[@LunaBianca1805]

The hips are higher in German Shepherds from working line breeding, though, aren't they? Were I not allergic to dog hair, those would have been on my favourite list. Since I am, though, I'll stick with my best pal, our really sweet and un-wolfy black poodle boy (though he actually howls sometimes when he sleeps 🤔) At least I can actually cuddle him without sneezing all day long 🥰

[@psypsy751]

The wolf is probably my favorite animal but I would never get a wolf-like dog in the city. Not necessarily because of space limitations but how hot it gets in a city and how much they would shed as well.

Hi Anneka. For me, the main value of this video is not the ranking of the dog breeds, because they all have their unique characteristics, and that makes them not better or worse, but simply different. The main value of this video for me is to learn how to better identify a wolf, something i always had a litle trouble, despite liking them. I was even thinking about asking you precisely that, how to distinguish without any doubt a wolf from any dog similar to a wolf. Hopefully, with the help from your videos, especially these 2 that you are making, i will get at least closer to achieving that goal. So thank you, and sorry if my english has any mistake, it´s not my native language.
