hi there! I've been seeing a lot of stuff on wolf-dogs lately. I've never heard of them, I dont know much about them. Do you think they're like? Okay? Is this an okay thing to be doing, breeding wolves and dogs for a big pet dog???

Wolfdogs exist for a variety of reasons, in a variety of ways, so I'm going to try and break things down as best I can. Luckily for you, it's a special interest of mine!

Wolfdogs come in three "categories": high content, mid content, and low content. This indicates how much wolf is in them, based on their behavior, appearance, and how much wolf was in their parents. High content wolfdogs look like wolves, whereas low content wolfdogs look more like dogs with wolfy traits. These descriptions are pretty basic, because the ratio of wolf-to-dog in any given crossbreed canid can vary wildly. Here is a good, basic article on wolfdogs.

To answer your question, breeding wolfdogs is not okay. They are a result of human manipulation more often than not, and often embody the worst traits in both wolves and dogs, leading to a destructive and wild animal who isn't afraid of humans. According to W.O.L.F. Sanctuary, up to 95% of "pet" wolves and wolfdogs are put down before the age of 2. The basic truth is that humans are not equipped to handle wolves, nor wolfdogs; they are wild animals, and are very, very much not like our domesticated pet dogs. The people who successfully own these animals run their homes more like sanctuaries, have experience in the field of wild dog handling, and know that at any moment something can go wrong. These animals deserve to live their lives, and it's good that rescuers are out there, but intentionally breeding a wolfdog is unethical.

In addition to behavioral problems and the general trials of being an owner to such an animal, wolfdogs--and, as an extension, pet wolves--have not had a rabies vaccine approved for them. If your wolfdog bites somebody, and it gets reported, they will be put down. In fact, somebody can simply claim your pet bit them and get them put down; look no further than the story of Vader the domestic fox.

There are some breeds of dog bred to look remarkably like wolves, but this is also ill-advised; a purebred dog who looks like a wolf is at risk of being killed by someone who sees them and doesn't know them personally. There exist horror stories of dogs that don't even look like wolves, such as huskies and malamutes, being shot by hunters because they thought the dog was a wolf. Here is a story of a dog who survived. Not all of them are so lucky.

Mod Jace is retiring

Hey everyone, it’s mod Jace! I have recently decided that I am not able to continue working on this blog. I have gotten a full time job since I joined, which means that I have significantly less time or energy to spend doing work for rq-described, plus I have my own personal projects that I would like to put my mental resources into. I’ll be officially leaving the blog a little later today.

It’s been great working with everyone here and participating in this community! It’s wonderful to see so many people dedicated to making fandom more accessible. I’m glad to have had an opportunity to participate.

I’ll still be on tumblr and describing images on my main blog, @strawberrygiorno. Thank you all for making my time on this blog a great experience.

Someone I love broke up with me a year ago and I still miss them. Is it normal to avoid things that remind me of our relationship. Example, swimming. We really first connected at a community pool and I haven’t looked at that area and swimming in general the same in so long. All those memories come flooding back and I get emotional all over again

Its completely normal to try to avoid things that remind you of a relationship. It tends to be too painful to see things that relate to it and it tends to help if you don't see things that remind you..

I'm sorry you're going through this, hun.. I know it hurts so much,, but things will eventually look up. Maybe it'll take awhile, but things will get better.. I promise..
