a) I had him DNA tested by a vet because his papers were forged and said 100% Samoyed purebred. Vet said he was majority wolf but because he was VERY WELL BEHAVED and VERY docile he never turned him..
b) That was the only time he ever showed his teeth , raised hackles or shown aggression. If I was threatened he has come to my side but more comfort. but people mistook his size and would back down.
c) He NEVER challenged me, NEVER refused a command, NEVER was food aggressive. Trix was better then most 100% dogs I have had, mutt or purebred.
d) Trix NEVER turned on me. NEVER bit anyone..
e) he lived to be 10 and had to be put down because of aggressive cancer.
I would think I would know him better then you would know him...
Congratulations on being uninformed.
I don't know the dog its self, but I know wolfdogs better than anyone on these boards, guaranteed.
Your dog was very little to NO wolf.
There are only about 20 labs in the U.S. that are willing to deal with wolfdog DNA tests, most will hang the fuck up on you after mentioning 'wolf'. Especially if you dont have a wildlife license. These tests are used for locating hereditary disease
AND wolf DNA isnt clearly distinguishable from dog DNA. Plain and simple. There is a .2% CHANCE of difference which may also be an error in the test, DNA testing isnt perfected, no lab would be comfortable providing a definitive decision based on this.
DNA tests are only used for verifying parents, anything else is a complete guess.
Mitochondrial DNA analysis, rather than nDNA analysis, is widely used to study populations of many animal species (including canids) because of its advantage over nDNA in that it does not recombine with other DNA as nuclear DNA does. The only way to conclusively determine (thru mtDNA) if a canid contains wolf content would be the presence of mtDNA restriction fragments specific to wolves. This is the root of the whole problem scientists are encountering when trying to differentiate between wolves and dogs. They are just too closely related, which is what led to the Society of Mammalogists and the Smithsonian Institution's taxonomical reclassification of dogs ( Canis lupus familiaris) as a subspecies of wolf (Canis lupus) in 1993 .
