To those that understand animal ways. I wonder, I have a dog she is Siberian Husky/Grea Wolf (low %). Kinda like is said of Cherokee though even 1 drop of blood. She is now 4 years old. She has always been allowed to go out to take care of her business and exersice. Lately, She stays gone for along time Hours, she finds things Squirrels, etc to kill and when she plays with my other dog she gotten pretty mean with him. Should I worry she is turning wild? That her wolf instincts are coming to surface? She is usually anxious to come in but these days, seems she wants the woods more than home. Just thinking Barb sc

Barb sc, First of all, has she been spayed? If not that may be part of why she takes off and is gone. I have had Husky and they are very independent. It is their nature. My Husky was gone for hours and would bring back anything that was not tied down. This included people's boots, shoes, papers, and clothing. Whenever anything came up missing, people would come to my house and go shopping for their items. I had to find another home for him because he could not be broke of killing my chickens. They were in an enclosure and he climbed over it and under it to get to them and he was always amply fed. He was bad about shaking things to death, like dogs do with snakes and if it were me, I would keep your two dogs separated. It's only fair to the other dog. She could get mauled to death, it happens. My Husky would have killed my cat but my cat was faster. He was aggressive. I finally had to keep a cable on the him until I could find him a new home. My Husky was grown when I got him so it was very difficult to teach him new ways. He was also hyper. In behalf of the wolf I will say if you have one you have raised from a cub and you are the Alpha, then you will have respect. Wolves are wild and will always remain that way inside but they can and will live with you if you both respect each other. Wolves belong in the wild, it is their natural home. But they are also in need of rescue from sport killers that shoot them from helicopters for fun. People know dogs but the wolf is misunderstood by many. I hope to be getting another wolf cub in the near future. You might want to keep her up on a lead for a few days to break the habit of taking off. And keep her out of the reach of your other pet. Some thoughts to ponder:) Brin ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`` ----- Original Message ----- From: <EVERETTLATTIMORE@aol.com> To: <CHEROKEE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, February 04, 2006 2:48 AM Subject: [Cherokee Circle] Animals > To those that understand animal ways. > I wonder, I have a dog she is Siberian Husky/Grea Wolf (low > %). > Kinda like is said > of Cherokee though even 1 drop of blood.
