Most wolf dogs are matings of 2 wolf dogs. It’s very rare for a wolf and a dog to be mated these days. Also it’s illegal most places to own a pure wolf. Requesting revision of article to reflect this information. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bweddlern (talk • contribs) 09:04, 14 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Alberta's legislation does not prohibit a person from owning a hybrid of a wolf and a dog. Under provincial law, wolves are classified as furbearing animals and so cannot be kept as pets, but wolf / dog crosses can be legally possessed without special permits.

The first paragraph under the "Admixture" subheading claims that a range of experts have been unable to reliably identify wolfdogs, but the cited source does not claim that. The first half of the cited book section is the author bragging about his epic courtroom wins, and the second half has the author actually talk about wolfdog misidentification, but the author only mentions one supposed wolfdog expert who they claim has a history of misidentification. There is no extrapolation or claim in the cited section that misidentifcation of wolfdogs among supposed experts is a widespread issue. Jcreeggan (talk) 17:10, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
