I created this chart to help explain proper wolf hybrid identification. I did this to help future buyers understand what they should be looking for when buying a future family member. It's unfortunate, but most folks do not understand what upper, mid, and low content hybrid means. There are a lot of folks out there buying what they think are high content hybrids and really they are F4 + low content hybrids. This gives a false ownership of owning wolf hybrids. Timber Ridge Wolfdogs has 2 DNA certifications. The first DNA certification came from UC Davis which verifies F1-F3 lineage of your hybrid. I also had my hybrids DNA percentages verified through University of Cornell, Embark. These types of test are important so future puppy owners understand what content of hybrid they are bringing into their home. Raising a high, mid, and low content hybrid are not the same. I always like to say, hybrids are like a box of chocolates. You never know what you are going to get, but DNA certifications do help. The end goal is to have new owners love their pup and understand what they are bringing home to insure it becomes a successful member of their family. Please ask questions to whichever breeder they buy from. Make sure you trust your breeder and do your homework. And most importantly love your pup.
