How in the world do a wolf and a shepherd create floppy ears

*shrugs* Recessive gene maybe?

A wolf wouldn't be able to pass on floppy ears.
German Shepherds generally have standing ears, except for a few poorly bred ones with weak ears.
Putting those two together, seems really hard to believe that it's actually a wolf x GSD. Nothing really looks "wolfy" about it, honestly. Maybe a german shepherd and a border collie or something.

Heh.

Funny you should mention.

Mother was a GS. Breeder was irresponsible and was trying for a 2 way wolf mix / GS cross. So, mom is 1/4 wolf at most. Then BP's mom got caught up with a Zellwood pit bull. (think of a brown pit bull mutt dog).

So, Bearpaw looks NOTHING like what he should.. if I could even figure out what he IS supposed to look like. So, we have a mutt here made of a touch of wolf, a LOT of GS, and a bunch of other things that make up a small stocky brown dog.

So he's a mutt. But the insurance companies don't accept that. So he's a Collie and Austrian Shepherd Mix. >:-D

Okay, so it's NOT just GSD and Wolf.
Makes much more sense now. There just HAD to be some other sort of mix in there.

It doesn't really look like a wolf mix.
Sure that you're not mistaken?

It's a small percentage from what my roomie said, it's like 25% or less or something

He's a wolf mix alright, but it's so far back it shouldn't matter. Problem is it matters to insurance carriers so I had to figure out what he was, and what he looked MOST like so I could come up with a plausable mix to sell them. (Wolf mixes to as many as 3 generations back are un-insurable in florida for homeowners.)

See my reply above for what happened.

Looks like my friends shep/wolf mix. They are good dogs ^^

Except this one is only 50lbs. Not much of a wolf, or a GS for that matter. :-D

Yeah her's is about 65lbs.

He looks conformable!

~hugs it~ X3

He looks like a cuddlebug to me!

*gasp!* I have those cheetah pillows!
