Saarloos wolfdog
As you can see, the Saarloos wolfdog is a wolf-dog hybrid discovered by Mr. Leendert Saarloos in the 1930s in Holland. He created this breed because he wanted a strong and healthy pet that could easily work as a service dog.
Even though they have wolf genes and physically look like them, the Saarloos wolfdog is actually very similar to German shepherds when it comes to their personality traits and behavior.Â
That being said, according to animal experts, Saarloos wolfdogs can get along with other pets, especially other dogs, they are sensitive, shy and very intelligent.
Just like any other medium sized or large dog breed, Saarloos wolfdogs aren’t recommended for novice pet owners.

I rescued an Alaskan malamute at 6 weeks old. My Bull Mastiff basically raised him since I worked so many hours. Lost my Mastiff at the beginning of the pandemic in March 2020, due to an undiagnosed tumor behind his sternum that burst. “Scout” moped for nearly three months… as well as me. He has free reign 24/7 in the house and 1/2 acre back yard. He has eaten every rabbit, possum and squirrel in the yard. Even the wild deer won’t come on my property. I have a small cat that I adopted who is black & white and about the size of the possums Scout used to leave in the house for me. The cat hates dogs, but she has been here nearly 20 years, so I gated off part of the house for her. I don’t think Scout would hurt her, but the cat loves to harass him. Scout killed a neighbors pup who snuck into our yard. ‘devistating’ I want to find him a roommate and other than taking him to a shelter to pick his own roomie, a pup would survive here.
