Do NI's/UTE's etc look more wolfy than the recognised breeds? Discussions

OK, here are some of mine, plus I have obtained permission from their breeder to put some piccies of hers up as well, so here goes
First off, piccie of Arctic Wolf

Piccie of Hanuka, my girls' great grandma (still alive and kicking by the way ) I think the resemblance is striking, just my opinion though!!!

Cariad

Maelona

Sulin Lowell

Sulin Harrison

Dancing in the Snow

Anzarra (My girls' Daddy)

Hope you like them

A wollfy moment from Tala,but yes they do typically carry their heads low!







Some wolfy some not but Tala has a longer Muzzle

I hate to say it they are all lovely looking dogs but 2 look wolfie the others look like collie x shepherds or black dog x shepherds. Are they all supposed to be NI's?

Mine is an NI i think if you read the previous post some are Utes,and all are beautiful.

If you put my Lona next to a black german shepherd you would soon see the difference.
I have to say I prefer the Rough Coated (like Cariad) myself, but Lona has Attitude and I love her for her mind Cariad is a Bimbo I am afraid and if she was human she would be Jordan, Lona would be Carol Vordermann!!!

It would be helpful to know which one's look like which? My patchy boy is NI. Handsome aint he?

I think I just fell in love with Sulin Lowell

Thanks for all the pictures folks, no matter what I say I will never NOT like your Dogs, I just cant see the Wolfy thing, especially when JK said they werent supposed to look like them nor the need for another breed, particularly given the lies surrounding them.

Im sure all of you adore your dogs as I do mine, whilst Ill argue to the end about health, lies and breeding ethics, I have nothing and never have had bad feeling about any of the Dogs.

You trying to say my boy doesnt look wolfy Borderdawn?

Personally I think he looks like the greater mountain marsh spotted wolf Thats my story and I'm sticking to it. No-one can convince me otherwise :twisted:

There is one dog pictured that I think looks a little wolfy..

The rest don't

Just the fact that every time I walk out with my dogs, at least one person and usually several say that's a wolf (not to me) to whoever they're with and often people stop me to ask. Particularly the boys - I usually get husky with the girls due to their blue eyes.

There was a programme on the wolves of yellowstone(?) park - the opening shots of the wolves running looked like a bunch of NIs - my nephew thought they were.

Guess it depends on what people expect a wolf to look like as there are so many different types anyway.

I don`t understand why anyone would want their dog to look like a wolf, rather than a dog, which is what they are. Dogs are domesticated and companiable, wolves are wild and independant. It`s not the physical appearance of the wolf that holds the key to its unique spirit - it`s the wild nature of the creature, and this can never be bred into a dog.

Thing is with me,a wolfs a wolf.These meant to be lookalikes are a tad naff are they not,much like buying a copy designer watch pretending it's a rolex,,,,,,,,,runs,hides,xxxxxxxxxx

DITO...........runs and hides with boobah ;-)

It would be cruel and difficult to keep a wolf and we know that. I can only go from my own experience - I've had many breeds and there is something special about the temprement and looks combined. I wouldn't get another breed now, even though I still love my other 'misfits', I can't put into words the difference between them and the NIs I have.

Oh my Wash your mouths out and stop hiding behind the sofa

we are not behind the sofa, we are under the bed but shhhhhh dont tell anyone,,,,

Ok, so long as I get so snuggle with all the rotties

Are you calling the dogs naff or the people who want to own a 'copy'?

I get that too
