Do you think this is a wolf hybrid?

You're in the ballpark with 'low content, around 30% at most'. He's got the big head and longer legs & pasterns/bigger paws, and does have *some* wolf content...but he's dog coloured, pointier ears, and overall looks mostly like a Northern mix.

They are "catlike" in that they are usually very independent, dignified, fluid, clean themselves, and have the diva attitude ;) even at the lower content ranges. I have fostered many legitimate wolfdogs who were cat-safe, at least when supervised...usually lower contents and shepherd crosses, although my own high contents were good (TRAINED) also...but it's not the default. They have to be raised with cats & trained to 'leave it'.

Most wolfdogs under 75% or so are what you make of them (the time & effort you put in). At his low content- and misrepresentation by breeders is the norm, btw - it doesn't surprise me that he's a nice pet if she is really into him and took him places.

Rounded ears is a very distinctly wolf trait. His tail seems a little too curved for a wolf, but straight enough... the curving could be just overexaggerated in a couple pics (and not that extreme, anyway). More narrow snout than you'd expect of a husky/malamute. His markings are way more defined than a wolf's, though his body definitely isn't that of a husky/malamute.

Bear in mind "content" doesn't necessarily determine phenotype. It's perfectly possible for a 3/4 wolf to show more dog characteristics than the mix would suggest. So it's possible, but I'd guess somewhere in the lineage a husky mix or two slipped in, and people thought "wolf".

~half would seem more reasonable. But since the rounded ears are usually one of the first traits to go/be overcome by dogness, I'd guess no less than that.

EDIT the rounded ears show in the picture you can see him head on, ears forward. The pictures they look more pointy are just the angle. Also, you seem to have some misconceptions about their temperament (which can vary just like any breed of dog). They aren't so aloof as pups/when young. Playful. silly, and friendly can easily apply to a wolf-hybrid, especially a young one who's been socialized from a young age with other dogs. I've also known a few who seem to identify with cats in the house more than dogs outside the house. Not sure why, but it's actually very common if they've been raised with cats (perhaps because wolves are naturally timid, and cats aren't usually as bouncy/aggressive/bubbly as dogs). As for the crate... most any dog will holler and cry if they're not used to it, as being locked in a cage come especially naturally to them. I assume he's used to it.

He's definitely a decent amount wolf. The only thing making it reasonably certain he's not 3/4 is his coloration (the patterns are too solid). I have a lot of experience with them, and I'd still hold he's half or somewhere around that. Unlikely 3/4, though phenotype can be tricky with mixes, so again - not impossible.

To others: they aren't naturally aggressive. They're predators, sure - but prey drive and aggression are very different things in canids. An uncomfortable wolf would be far more likely to run away than "tear her face off". And Jon - your Husky clearly just wasn't raised around cats or well-socialized - otherwise you wouldn't have those problems (all canids have a prey drive, not just Huskies and wolves).

Certainly not even close to 3/4 if any at all. In some of the pics, it looks like a possibility, in others he looks like a Husky/Malamute. If he has any wolf at all, it's no more than 1/4, probably less.

3/4 wolf my dead ***. I've heard wolf howls before, and that isn't one. We own a Siberian husky with a long, tall profile that looks more like a wolf than that dog. He is also one of the most stubborn critters I've ever met. Not that easy to train. We had to raise our fences to 7 feet to keep him from going over them. He also doesn't like little yappy dogs, or cats. He tries to kill them. A professional sled dog trainer told us that those are all traits that wolves, and huskies have in common.

I met a woman who owned a male timber wolf. He was 13 months old, and weighed 130 lbs. She thought he still had 20 or 30 more lbs. to put on. His father weighed 180. If that dog weighs over 75 lbs. I'd be surprised.

If that dog is 3/4 wolf then he must have been starved as a puppy.

There is no way he is a high content wolfdog, I agree with you. I see a ton of husky, low content at best. His legs are pretty short, different colored nails, and pointy ears. He reminds me of my husky/german shepard mix I fostered. I don't see him being a mid content, unless he has some very visible summer coat changes, or behavioral differences (as described you said he didn't have any), then I think no. He's a gorgeous pup though.

At Jon: A full wolf, even a timber would usually not exceed 120 pounds, I have not heard of or seen anywhere a timber or any other wolf being over 130 pounds. They usually only get that big if they are mixed with Malamute. The people who misrepresent their dogs who have these "giant wolamutes" are most of the time low contents.

I like short, trimmed nails more than I like long nails. The actual only time I like seeing very long nails is if they're painted, simply because I think they look disgusting without having. They look like long claws in order to me.

I'm a guy, and privately, I don't like long nails. I actually know a lot of like lengthy, painted nails cause they're "so pretty", but I don't like them.

That's not a wolf dog, its a common no wolf husky mix she bought from a BYBer. A Real wolf hybrid would have torn her face off for hugging it like that

Its a husky mix. Doubtful there is any wolf.

I agree wih you, there is probably a very small amount of wolf in that dog if there is any.
