Coydogs, wolfdogs, coywolves and I am sure many others in other parts of the world.

My wolfdog is snuggles up on my bed. He has a grandparent that was a wolf. I am against the breeding of wolfdogs, mine was a rescue and was lucky to have only good wolf traits like the needs to be very close to his pack at all times. This negates the roaming tendencies of the husky in him. Often times this is not the case. It's a roll of the dice every time one is bred.
