his name is D'Artagnan (pronounced Dhar-Tahn-Yohn) he's 5 weeks old, and his dad is 90% red wolf, 10% Belgian Shepard, and his mom is 85% timber wolf 15% husky. both his parents look full blood wolf, except his mom has blue husky eyes. but his dad looks pure red wolf, and he's gorgeous.

ah the young Musketeer. Nice looking K-9

[dpartinvr4]

thanks :)

[green-lantern]

Cute!

Wolf=get use to him running off exploring.

[UTRacerX9]

The only thing cooler than the pic of you with him on your lap would be a pic of him on your lap while you wear a three wolf moon shirt. :D

[stealthify]

Very nice mix! Enjoy him while he's small, won't last long. :)

My huskys favorite passtime.

[j2k4]

Nice looking dog, sir. :)

[dpartinvr4]

thanks guys, I'm pretty sure he's going to be huge, at 5 weeks, his paws are massive and webbed. the lady at pet smart said her "large" Labrador wasn't as big as Dar is at 5 weeks. so I think he's going to have the timber wolf build.

[eljefefx]

If I might ask, where did you acquire him?

[Vantage]

Beautiful pup..

You fall in love Jeff?

I think Jeff wants a pup too.

[dpartinvr4]

@jeff: from a breeder about 20 minutes northwest of Louisville on the Indiana side. P.M. me if you want specifics. she said she has puppies in Germany and Canada, so I don't think she would have a problem shipping them.

[eljefefx]

I appreciate it. She reminds me of my Alia, but I refuse to use a breeder. Thanks for the info though :)

[green-lantern]

She reminds me of my Alia,

I thought so, from what I remember the pup does look like your beloved dog.

[dpartinvr4]

she's not what I would call a traditional breeder, but all the same. no problem.

[beepbeep]

Aww...fluffy!!!

Sorry to be the bubble bursting engineer of the group.

Because every mammal has 2 parents, then your genetic makeup is based on 1/2. Meaning that you have to be a multiple of "1/2 of something", so being 90% red wolf is impossible. The father's genetic makeup would have to be a multiple of, or some combination of, 1/2.

100% (1), 3/4, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16, 1/32, 1/64 and so on.

That call me "Debbie Downer" too.

[Granny]

WOW
The Dad looks huge in that pic!

[Alan92RTTT]

He's going to be very independent and suborn. Make sure to start early with training and make sure their is no doubt that you are the "alpha" in the family. If you don't set the boundaries early you will have issues later.

[dpartinvr4]

wrong pic of his mom....fixed now

[dpartinvr4]

so..... he's grown up a little bit. http://i888.photobucket.com/albums/ac81/dpartinvr4/377235_427918827245712_586982654_n.jpg

[wingnut]

we had a wolf hybrid for a few years, until someone stole him...

...that dog was awesome, when he stood up on back legs he was taller than my wife :lol:

[nodoze]

wow he has gotten big and gorgeous , makes me want to go get a dog

[UTRacerX9]

How much does he weigh now? 90-100? Looks taller than my dog, but not quite as long.

[vr4chick]

I have a wolf hybrid. Its true about them attempting to run off. Mine can jump 8'....so the 5' fence doesn't really hold her in. I've had to train her to stay in the yard and I keep a close eye on her. Very stubborn and very hyper...get ready :)

[futurevr4man]

[nodoze]
