I own 2 hybrid wolves, a malmute hybrid, male, and a german shep hybrid female. Wolves are totally different from normal dogs, even hybrids. They will almost ALWAYS fight another male for dominance, right off the bat, if you only own 1 male. They are way easier to ruin with punishment, but are far more loyal. they eat WAY more, they are extremely territorial. They are horrible with cats, or any other animals they see as food. They are extremely smart, too smart sometimes. They are VERY pack oriented. This being said, I won 2, and will continue to get hybrids, they are the greatest dogs. As far as legality, in my county, Tehama, hybrids are legal, you just get a dif reg. If I remember gith, the cop told me full wolves are legal with a permit or some dif registration. If you ever look into getting a hybrid, make sure it is from a good breeder. Wehn they are bred with normal dogs, not cetrain types, or bred wrong, bad things happen.
