"On the Internet,
nobody knows if you're a dog or a person!"
In the beginning there were no dogs. Their true history remains a mystery. There is an enormous amount of research and controversy into and over the theoretical domestication of Wolves to dogs. Genetically they are Wolves. However, It is not a good or practical idea to mix them. The domestication of Wolf to Dog is commonly supported by Belyaev's Russian Fox experiments. Belyaev passed in 1985. His research partner, Lyudmila Trut, in 2024. There are numerous videos on the keeping of "tame" foxes. We do not endorse any of them. Would you like to work with a "tame" Wolf? Play with, or walk, your own dog {any breed or mix}!
Your editor has worked with Wolves numerous times. There are quite a number of well-written books on the subject, as any Google search will reveal. Just keep in mind that: All Dogs are Wolves. No Wolf is a Dog!
