With what he did with his dinner, reminds me of someone I know who had a Wolf. He only fed him about every 3 days and oh my the amount! Anyway, it could be that he is also raised to not eat daily. Never owned one but from people I know who have had one, they do not feed daily, one 1 person did. I could be all wet with this information, could be one breeder does and one does not, better find out. The way it was explained to me is they are to close to being wild and wild does not eat daily, systems do not handle it.
I can not wait to find out if still there and house intact after you get home from work! I do not think I would leave in car until you find out how he is on his own, I keep running pictures of distroyed cars in my mind, some pretty funny if not your car.
Also, I know one of the breeders will not sell you one unless you promise to allow him to sleep in your bed, I laughed so hard on that one, this guy was over 180 lbs ( I think 230) and HUGE, not fat. They stated it is the pack mentality and sleeping is a big thing in the wolf packs. They make you sign this in the contract and will pull the dog if they find out otherwise. I have never owned one, but sure enjoy finding out about them when I see them. I thought of telling hubby, it is just a dog in Wolves clothing, think he would buy it?

Whatever he is, he's a handsome monster, though I don't see any resemblance to the dogs out of Dean and Karla's kennel, plus he would be tattooed.

Well, a friend of mine has a Calderon male who looks just about exactly like this in the FACE, except the freaky eyes. I do like this dog, but OH MY, he is high maintenance. I'd have to re-work all fences, including the one to my hen coop.
Took him to the vet this morning....29 inches tall, and SEVENTY EIGHT POUNDS! WOW he looks a lot bigger than that...but then I went online, and grey wolves average 80 lbs, so he's in the ball park. This pretty much explains how he sails over 7' fences.
I understand the feeding only once in awhile. I may do that. Prey model, it's called, and it's supposed to be good for GSDs too, but my girl would think she was dying if I didn't feed her twice a day!
Greylin is a nice word!

Yes, he needs to go before I fall too much in love.

How old do you think he is?
by VomMarischal on 20 October 2009 - 22:10
About 18 months. Still very babyish.

Wolves are shaped for running. Most of the canids hunt by stalking their prey, then running them down with blinding speed. Such adaptations that help them do this are their deep, narrow chest and their long, narrow legs that hold tight together, almost pressed into their chest. They leave a single line of tracks when they walk. In addition, wolves can run up to 40 mph for short distances, and can travel 40-70 miles in one day.
Wolves are digitigrade, which means that they walk on their toes rather than their entire foot, which makes their legs longer and makes them more agile.
Interesting.
It really does look like you have a wolf/dog there. Finding someone capable of taking care of him may be a chore, although there are folk looking for these dogs. Bless you for saving him. :)
