Population of wolf-dog hybrids, bred for the Perm Institute of Interior Troops by Russian scientist Professor Kasimov VM.

These are F1 German shepherd/wolf crosses (mother and father pictured in last image). From the day they are born, these animals are constantly socialized and rigorously trained in bite-work, tracking, and search-and-rescue. It is not typical of mid-content wolfdogs to be this well-trained, and I personally doubt the continued success of this program using mids. Lower-content animals would likely be a much better option.

More photos and information about this program can be found HERE.
