Thanks, Empowering Facts, for featuring the Dire Wolf Project™ on your page!
This American Dirus™ puppy was named Dozer by his family and was out of the Wolf Cub litter from Stanley and Shennara in 2019. Look at those bright blue eyes that turned bright yellow as an adult and his massively thick skeletal structure. An updated adult picture of this puppy is in the comments.

The Dire Wolf Project began in 1988 with a unique vision: to recreate the look of the long-extinct dire wolf, not as a wild predator, but as a loyal and loving companion. Breeders carefully selected domestic dogs with the right build, size, and coat texture, focusing on temperament as much as appearance. The goal was to craft a dog that carried the ancient wolf’s imposing presence while remaining gentle enough for family life.
Today’s Dire Wolf Project dogs stand out for their immense size, broad skulls, and thick, weather-resistant fur. While they look like they’ve stepped straight out of the Ice Age, owners report that their personalities are the opposite of fierce—calm, patient, and deeply bonded to their humans. These dogs have become a living tribute to a species that vanished thousands of years ago, blending history, genetics, and companionship into one remarkable animal.
