wolfdog
Lupine domestic hybrid
A wolfdog is a hybrid between a domestic dog and a wolf, typically bred intentionally.
Wolfdogs vary widely in appearance and temperament depending on the percentage of wolf ancestry—some look and act mostly like dogs, others retain strong wolf characteristics.
Ownership is restricted or banned in many jurisdictions due to unpredictable behavior.
Their wolfdog was skittish around strangers.
