Saarloos Wolfdog
Half dog half wolf, the Saarloos Wolfdog is an astonishing, relatively recent creation that has made its mark on a world where “successful” crossings between wolves and dogs are uncommon.
About the Saarloos Wolfdog
The Saarloos Wolfdog is a robust canine whose outward appearance, including movements and coat, is reminiscent of a wolf.
Lively and bursting with energy, proud and independent, the Saarloos Wolfdog will only follow its own free will. That said, it is devoted to its owner and very reliable. Around strangers, this breed is reserved and rather suspicious.
