That thing is a beast! Love the dark brindle color. If you want, I can bring out a couple bags of dog chow once you invite me to fill a few trailers with elk!

Been perusing up on this wolf thing. Heaps of stories of down home canines getting et up by wolves. Is there a local canine breed that is fit for of keeping it is possess in opposition to wolves or is any domesitc canine probable to be so dwarfed that it has no possibility? Independently, I like a Presa Canario's risks, anyway beyond any doubt could not need that breed for a pet.

My Parsons Russel Terrier would at least give it a try. Luger. Pieter I have one like that is a smoothcoat. A wolf would be in deep chitt if these grew to 120 lbs or so that is all i can say.

I doubt there is a domestic breed that can handle a alpha male wolf in its prime in a one on one situation. Domestication takes the physical edge off of them. If some of the larger wolf hounds were raised in the wild by wolves they might be equal. Domesticated wolf hounds are trained to hunt in groups when after wolves. I thought about the various european and asian breeds we never see or hear much about like Turkey's Kangal but I doubt they can handle a 175 pound wolf by themselves. I did have a Chihuahua a few years ago who thought he could whip a wolf. If he would have been 200 hundred pounds we would still be living in caves.

Domestic dog breeds versus a healthy, full-grown, male wolf have ZERO chance of winning that fight. Domestic dog breeds versus a single Coyote can win. Add a second Coyote to that equation and ANY domestic dog dies.
Oh, and the posts about a dog fighting and killing a Cougar/Puma/Mt. Lion really do make me laugh out loud.
