The life of Atka

International Wolf Center

What is a wolf pack?
While this may seem very straightforward, there are many misconceptions when it comes to defining a real-world wolf pack. At its core, a pack usually consists of 2 unrelated wolves, the breeding pair, and their offspring. While there is a social hierarchy, it’s often misconceived that the dominant animals are the biggest, and strongest wolves, that fought their way to the top of a pecking order, hence the out-of-date term ‘Alpha.’ Most wolf packs are organized like human families.

You can help us teach the world about wolves by sharing our posts with your friends.

here's a wonderful example of a wolfdog next to a purebred GSD.(german shepherd dog)
my Sister, was a purebred GSD.( mom and dad had to find her another home when we lost our home)
She was bigger than standard 95pounds and taller than me.
So mom and dad always got asked if she was part wolf.
nope, she was purebred pedigreed working line GSD.

Pictured here is a young purebred GSD, and Jude a (low-content Blue Bay Shepherd, F6 35% wolf), meaning he is MOSTLY dog, in his case shepherdm and only a little bit of wolf.
But you can see the difference.
Jude is less wolf content than my breeder claimed me and you can see the obvious differences.

Colloges portraying the differences between nordic breeds, wolfdogs and wolves.

This is Niklaus belonging to Courtney Lauren Stohler
He is 7months old in this picture.
He is a solid mid content wolfdog meaning is is about equally wolf as he is dog.
And even with that you can see he looks nothing like a doggy dog like Atka, his ears are pointier than a higher content, or more wolf animal will be. But his face is also more wedge shaped, and narrow than a doggy dog. he is also young so he may likely grow into them, and is only one in a litter.
His content is a genotype not a phenotype.
The difference is explained in pinned files.
his markings are decently blended, may become more blended as he ages.
But look how narrow his chest is. how his elbows touch.
If you look at any standing pics of Atka, or any husky, or malamute you can see the difference in the width and depth of chest.
dogs have wide chest, meant for pulling.
Wolves, and wolfdogs have narrow chest meant for running. *note some breeds and mixes of dogs can have narrow chest as well, a narrow chest does not = wolf content, it's just helps verify those claimed part wolf + their known lineage*

Saving Carson Shelter Dogs

This, this poor soul is why fighting misrep in wolfdogs AND nordics,and BSL is so important. This sweet girl, died. because she's a husky in a home with someone not fully understanding the breed. And she behaved like herself, and people killed her instead of giving her another chance.

ROE is a stunning 3 year old beauty but she is in Quarantine for a "bite" and she is going to need help when that is over. Please SHARE for her life, she is VERY special and a FOSTER and RESCUE would save her. Thanks!

My name is ROE and I'm an approximately 3 year old female Siber. Husky. I am not yet spayed. I have been at the Carson Animal Care Center since 7/25. I will be available on 8/5. I came to the Shelter as an Owner Surrender. You can visit me at my temporary home at C122.
