2) a dogs/animal's DNA does indeed factor into its behavior characteristics. Think im wrong? Then just try living with a full or evn half blooded wolf thats been in a domestic environment all its life. Sooner or later it will bare .[/QUOTE]

I am not suggesting there is no difference between a wolf and a dogs DNA. For that matter a Siberian tiger is more dangerous than a tabby cat....obviously. The key difference between a wolf and a dog is not physical but rather how they have evolved to deal with humans. While there is variation in dog breed DNA they all have evolved to socially interact with humans to some degree. Wolves have NOT. And wolf/dog hybrids can have a mix of aggression and lack of fear of people that is dangerous. I would not put them in the same genetic boat as domestic dogs. I have run into hybrids at the dog park. They always are aggressive with my dog and they creep me out. I wouldn't want one loose in a neighborhood chasing me on my bike. It would probably have less fear than a full blooded wolf.
