Puppies!

[BigIron]

Hi Folks,

I have a couple Wolf Hybrid puppies left to find homes for.

Mom (Asuilu) is 1/2 Arctic Wolf, 1/4 Shepherd and 1/4 Lab. Absolutely stunning, she is a very friendly animal and quite Loves people in addition to her Princess Looks!

The Pa (Amaruq) is 1/2 Timber Wolf and 1/2 Alaskan Husky. He is absolutely Fearless, has tackled a few bears already in his young life! Very People friendly as well, he has developed into an extremely good Companion Dog and spends considerable time in the field with me:

I will post pictures of the remaining puppies once a couple of the Lads make up their minds (shortly now). Pups are 7 weeks now, extremely healthy and developing well.

Anyone that is interested please feel free to PM or Email me. Pictures will be here soon now.

Cheers,
Iron

Bertha found her new home last night. Going to an acreage with a gentle older female to help her learn the ropes. Largest of the females, she will both be large as well as a "Looker". Methinks she will be one happy puppy there!

Cheers "Bertha"!

Leaves one Gal still to find her Pack. Peter was named that due to her extreme friendliness with my neighbor (who happened to be named Peter). Her nick-name started as a joke, but somehow stuck. Methinks she will end up with another handle down the road.

This one is almost overly friendly, seriously LOVES people, and doesn't have an aggressive bone in her body. She will of course be territorial (as most of these females are) but will show a reluctance to straying as a consequence. She would benefit from a family with children for her to play and eventually watch over...

Then we have The Lads. One of these is spoken for, but it is taking that Family some time to make up their minds! LOL!

First up is "Al". Named so for Al Capone, he is THE Dominant pup of this litter, and the Largest. He is somewhat aggressive and a tad rough with the others as most Dominants are. Will be rather Big when full grown. With proper training and nurturing he will develop into a fine Companion and Watch Animal. I expect that will require good and consistent training to accomplish, and am being VERY selective as to who gets him as a consequence.

Next we have "Double Dot". Easy to understand why when you see the matching dots on either side of his muzzle. He is outgoing and friendly, sits in the middle of litter dominance alongside "Nobody" and "Zorro". Very much likes snuggles and pets, methinks he would do right fine for a family with children and/or other pets.

"Nobody" was named for the star (Trinity) of the movie My Name Is Nobody. A clown at heart, he loves to show off and has a real "prance" to his step. Going to be one proud puppy, guess he inherited his Prince like attitude from his Princess of a mother! Another that will be fine with kids and/or other pets.

And last but by no means least, we have "Zorro". He was originally named for his mask, although that has faded somewhat as he has developed. He will be a real Looker, and knows it! Extremely friendly with people, he craves attention, always desiring a scritch or belly rub as he sighs contentedly while that happens. Likely amongst the best for a family with children. And will likely tend more towards his mother's size rather than his father's.

And that's the ones still looking. As noted, one of these Ladz will be departing soon. The others will be advertised locally today (they have not been to date) and we are hoping to find each one of them a Very happy and friendly environment for them to grow up with.

More pix and descriptions available by request. Located in Port Alberni, but can travel...

"Peter" is soon headed to Alberta. Last of the gals wandering over to a Fine Family with loads of room and 3 kids to grow up with! VERY COOL!

Still a few of The Ladz looking for the Right Family...
Would make Great Stocking Stuffers!

Unbelievable! Ran an ad up around town, and hit the usual Online Suspects for the same. Kijiiji and Craigslist BOTH deleted the ads, suggesting that Wolf Hybrids were either "Prohibited for sale and/or ownership" in areas of BC and/or considered "Dangerous Animals"! What a crock of Chit! I wrote both of them back demanding an explanation, and of course they haven't even bothered to reply. Talk about OVER-REACTION! I guess some fools out there still believe in the Little Red Riding Hood and Big Bad Wolf stories their parents used to frighten them with!!

While these hybrids are obviously not for everyone, they certainly are NOT prohibited anywhere in BC. My Missuz and I have been living with and raising Wolf Hybrids for over 30 years now. We have successfully placed our pups with many many Families, a LOT with children, and a LOT with other existing pets. To date there has NEVER been an issue with any of those we have placed. In fact, the vast majority of people that welcome them into their lives have provided comments such as: Best dog we've ever had, smartest dog we've ever had, excellent with the kids, great family oriented dog, even loves the cat and so on.

For these two advertising firms to suggest what they have has Really got me going! Complete and utter nonsense being spewed by ignorant fear-mongers!
There is far greater potential for problems with an awful lot of the other breeds they do list!

I guess while it surprises me, perhaps it shouldn't. There apparently exist a whole host of people who are uninformed and choose to wear that on their sleeve to the point of ignorance.

Rant Off. Still ticked, but feels a little better to offload...

Have another Local Lad coming by tonight. He's wanted one of ours for quite some time now, and will likely choose his new Companion when he visits. And yes, he has a Family, kids and all. I have no concerns regarding that type of placement whatsoever, except for anything that tries to fool with those kids one the bonding has been established!

Couple left to go now folks...

So two more of our Little Clan have left the nest. Sad to see them off, but darn Happy about the excellent homes they are going to!!

Dave came all the way out from Alberta to meet "Peter". It was Love at first Sight! So Maya (her new name, pretty and fitting methinks) is off to 3 acres and 3 kids to grow up with! Very Cool! And we wish her and her new Pack all the very best!!

Dave & Maya:

Then today a Fellow who has a good sized farm just out of town dropped by. Heard about the pups from my neighbor, and wanted to see for himself. He and "Nobody" were an instant hit! Of course that little clown could capture damn near anyone's heart with his antics! So our little Nobody is off to the farm, where he is destined to herd chickens, geese and turkeys for a living. Gonna be some FUN methinks!

Jim & Nobody:

Still holding a couple for buddies, which leaves but a couple to find Packs for now. Papa (Amaruq) certainly is enjoying his time with the wee ones (well, not quite so wee now LOL!) Here he is enjoying a good old-fashioned DOGPILE:

Getting down to the wire now Folks! Still searching for a couple homes though...

"Al" is now on hold for an excellent family down in Victoria.
"Zorro" fled the nest this very afternoon - wandering his was over to a beautiful Malamute Gal and her People Pack.

"Big Bertha" has been spoken for since she was born, however I have not heard back from the fellow is a while. Going to try and contact him to determine if he still wants her. Surprising amount of interest in the gals!

That leaves but Double Dot (who does have a fellow hovering...) and Eight of Ten.

Eight of Ten has NOT been advertised. He is amongst the very best looking of the bunch, and we simply want him to be placed to either a buddy or at least locally as we very much want to watch him grow up.

And on it goes...

Cheers,
Iron

In a somewhat strange turn of events, "Peter" is wandering back home to us on Friday.
So now we are searching for a good home for a Very Cute Little GIRL!

Hoping...
