If that subordinate pack mate is a child... that child will be "corrected" by your dog, this can be pretty rough and could seriously injure a human child. Throw wolf in the mix and you have a very volatile animal, IMO such cross breeding is very irresponsible and done in large part by people who like the power rush of owning a dangerous animal. This is the same gang that buy Pit Bulls, Bull Terriers, and other fighting breeds and train them to attack/fight. They should face murder charges when one of their creations goes berserk and kills someone.

Or it could mean that the kid might grow up with better manners and discipline than the Human parents might have instilled, since the dog/wolf isn't inhibited by pop-psych child rearing techniques [img]smile.gif[/img]
Just a thought.[/QUOTE]If the dog was smart enough to go easier on humans (Human children are just not as durable as adolecent puppies) then you might be right. [img]smile.gif[/img] Today's child rearing techniques could be another whole "hot topic" and then some.
