★ Brutus the german shepherd
He's a big boy alright. A startling 6'6 frame, but that doesn't stop him from acting like a little bastard. He's playful and cocky, a little protective but that's just in his instincts to protect his little herd! In his physical appearance, He's starting to grow out his buzz cut, a pair of German shepherd ears ontop. he's hoping to maybe dye a couple strands of hair blond once they're long enough. green eyes that stare into your soul, absolutely no thought process behind them
★ dolly the doberman
Everyone loves dolly. There used to be another doberman named Danny but they sent him to the pound when he bit both the farmer and his granddaughter. She used to have puppies with Danny but they didn't survive the winter, they got sick and passed the coming spring. She's a little rough around the edges but you'll love her too right? Don't let Brutus hog all the love! In her physical appearance, she has very short brown hair and a pair or doberman ears, with one of them being a little bit, ontop of her head. 5'7 with a deadly brown eyed stare.
★ bladviba the black Russian terrier
A messy mop of brown curls he calls hair sits atop his head. He's usually out in the fields observing the cattle, black eyes staring out Into the distance. The others say he used to be a fisherman's dog but then he had to find a new home since he passed away one night. Stoic and serious, he's secretly a 5'8 softie who wants to hide and cuddle you somewhere. But that bastard Brutus would probably find you in less than an hour.
★ molly the chow chow
molly may be the smallest out of all them, but that doesn't mean she won't let them do all the work. Usually she's trailing behind dolly, claiming that since their names are similar they have to stick close together. She has a short temper and a little brutish, but you'll get used to her. Spiky short brown hair, with dark black eyes that sparkle when she sees you. A 5'2 sweetheart- wait who gave molly a knife-
★ sweet pea the Samoyed
Sweet pea loves many things! You, bones, their house, sleep. Okay maybe not many things but atleast some things! Usually quiet and following you from behind, they quietly take up the role of your 6'1 guard dog. Helping you around the barn, and in exchange all you have to do is let them scent you for another 2 hours every 4 hours! Dirty white hair, with black eyes as dark as charcoal.
★ bubba the borzoi
Bubba is so fucking done with both you and the others. Can you stop fucking singing 'let me do it for you' like shut up he's trying to do his job here. He refuses to let you see the slightest smile but just know he is smiling. He's just stubborn. Like VERY stubborn. Sarcastic and empathetic, a deadly combo. He could be comforting you and then calling you a blubbering fool the next. 6/10, would bite my ass. He's a startling 6'11, with blue eyes and light blonde hair
★ princess the ragdoll
Name the most spoiled housecat who ever lived. She lives up to her name, she's been in many beauty pageants and won a many prizes. Ribbons, trophies, photographs all align the walls of her room. She'll give you a side eyed look before making you go through a 600 step beauty routine, before ever allowing you to touch her. Atleast she'll cuddle you for hours on end, so the torture was worth it all. King is the only person she respects, aside from her owners. White long curly hair, blue eyes and 5'5
★ prince the Norwegian forest cat
He's the most humble cat ever known, all he really wants is to settle down, have a couple litters, and be a good dad. But princess hated his guts and quite frankly, he hated her. He much preferred you, he wondered how you'd look with a belly full of his kits.. he'll respect your wishes, but don't mind him breaking into your room every now and then. (He leaves hair everywhere, don't let him.) Ginger fluffy hair, green eyes and 5'7
★ king the Khao manee
King could either be planning your downfall or planning the entire family you'll have together. The greatest manipulator ever known to cat kind. He could convince you orange is red and red is blue if you let him (don't let him), he manipulates princess to do things for him but now that you're here, you won't mind taking over now will you? Sandy blonde hair with heterochromiac eyes. 5'6
Bonus: the forest pack ೄྀ࿐ ˊˎ- ︶︶︶︶༉‧
★ Roxy the wolf
butch werewolf? Butch werewolf. She's stoic and quiet, but she's just a gentle giant. Following her brothers around, she's very obedient and surprisingly, loves gardening! Long Spiky black hair, red eyes and 6'7
★ Silas the wolf
Silas is the leader, commanding his siblings when to act and when to fall behind. But he just wants a break and to lay down, take a nice long nap. Until one of his siblings comes running to him for help. Oh well, he had a nice sleep. He loves them, he truly does, but he wants a nap in peace. Very short spiky black hair, red eyes, 6'9
★ Milo the wolf
Milo is selectively mute. With a deadpan look always on their face and they seem emotionless, but that's not the case. They're just always distracted and can't really focus on many things. Be a little patient will you? Medium long spiky black hair, red eyes, 6'6
★ Kiki the Pomeranian
Kiki is some dog hybrid they found off the road and decided they're one of them. Feral and has a big dog complex. Tries to be intimidating but they just aren't. Sometimes they watch you work on the farm from the edge of the forest, a little jealous of the animals that get to watch you everyday. Messy blonde hair, black eyes that hold the anger of a toddler being forced into A school play, and very short. 4'9
Bear Detection and Chase Canines in Hokkaido Japan
This is from an article by Amanda Parry Von Darcor Kennels, Queensland in the Working German Shepherd and DogSport Clubs Australia Winter 2018 magazine (page 16-17)
That size difference! That is a one year old german shepherd alongside a working highcontent wolf-hybrid. Here is some snippets of context from the article:
Doctor’s Yuh Iguchi and Yuri Karatachi from the Japanese Canine Bear Detection and Chase Program approached (Von Darcor kennels) for the supply of a developed German Shepherd Dog to join their current Bear Detection and Chase Team of working highcontent wolf-hybrids.
Vondarcor Oxzsa was to be and is developed to assist allocated Handlers of community Bear Patrol Teams in the detection, chase and if required, engagement of Brown Bears in the community, on the Japanese island of Hokkaido. In February 2018, at 11 months of age, Oxzsa flew to Japan where she joined her Handler and his two other working canines – high content wolf-hybrids (97%).
The Canine Bear Detection and Chase Program is an intervention program to promote the coexistence between Japanese communities and bear populations residing on the edges of mountains and forestry, with strong emphasis on bear conservation and preservation of human life. The objective of the Japanese Bear Detection Dogs, is to detect, track, alert and chase Bears out of townships, and attempt to significantly reduce the incidents of human and Bear interaction, conflict and subsequent deaths of both people and Bears.
Initially high content wolf hybrids were engaged for their size and natural hunting instincts. The problems being encountered by Handlers and Trainers include the high aloofness, lower work ethic (attributed to domestication and select breeding) and lower trainability in the wolves, and their dependence of the pack, hindering the success of the program. While wolves are still very much a part of the program, the objective is to lower the wolf content to dog content ratio and increase the trainability, work ethic and independence in work. German Shepherd Dogs are the select breed of dog for the program for their balance, higher trainability, drives and nerve, and are slowly being introduced to the canine teams.
You can get updates and see more photos of Oxzsa as they are sent to her old kennel on facebook.
Slapping the label "wolf" on an animal effectively primes people for encountering their preconceived notion of "wolf," whatever that may be. People who are expecting a vicious predator when interacting with an unknown animal will be more likely to interpret the animal's actions as predatory or dangerous. Thus their mental attitude about the animal will affect how they perceive their experience with it. Also, ironically, people who are afraid of wolves are more likely to react fearfully to animals presented as wolves, whether the animals are wolves or not, and the fearful behavior of the humans can even encourage fearful or possibly aggressive "wolf-like" behavior by the animal as it reacts to the human's apprehensive behaviors. That is, one can actually change the behavior of an animal through one's own behaviors.

Made this for facebook but figured it couldn’t hurt to upload here as well if people would like to use it!
Phenotyping wolfdogs from photos is trickier than you might think! The photography itself can mess with your phenotype. Here’s some tips on how to pheno from photos.
Tagging blogs I think may be interested in this:
@wolfdogeducation @wolveswolves @packwestwolfdogrescue @why-animals-do-the-thing
I want to make an oc ask blog for my wolf-hybrids because im a fucking furry because I want to develop them and get new ideas for their story. But I know that because theres so many ask blogs and because litterly no one knows about my ocs, no one will ask anything. Or if they do it’ll last a week. So like.....??? Should I brave it anyway?? Would anyone be willing to actually send asks for them to answer and stuff? It will probably be partly art response (though most of them will be sketches bc im lazy) and mostly text response. So uh...Like/reblog/respond if you’d like to meet some gay powerful and obnoxious wolf hybrids! @smolgaycoffeebean @mayonnaisevirtuoso @chloesrocketship
