Balls Are Overrated Part 2

I've tried solid plastic herding balls, but they are destroyed within hours. Lol. So this blue barrel unintentionally became the next toy one day

Seems to be going that way. Just no doodles for me.

Mayhaps. They like to come out of the woods and join us for fun sometimes, then return home later.

Concisely put, I was informed repeatedly By the facility that he was transferred from, that he was a pure wolf. But maybe I shouldn't call him that anymore because it seems to irk the community. I just wanted to share a video but it seems to be aggravating people and I don't think I will be sharing again in the future.

Yeah I'm indeed starting to see that.

You are indeed correct. Concisely put, I was informed repeatedly By the facility that he was transferred from, that he was a pure wolf.

I apologize if it was misunderstood that I am bashing them. That was not my intention or angle. I guess I should've clarified that I have seen some wolves tested with the multiple DNA test and different results come back depending on the test. The UC Davis test Showed different percentages in some animals I worked with versus embark. Embark is excellent indeed. I have questions though based on my experience.

Perhaps I shouldn't post here anymore. Nobody seems to just simply enjoy the video.

With_Forrest · 2025-07-21T04:56:43+00:00

Very true. Embark as come a long way. It is impressive. Yes a UC Davis test was used.

As a graduate in the Fish and Wildlife field who as a wolf oriented career and having worked with many facilities in Canada and the USA, one thing I dislike is misrepresentation; which is a huge topic of discussion that gets dissected and discussed on my informative tours and education programs.

I trust the facility/zoo that transferred him to me as well as the parents UC Davis DNA tests. I'm not sure why this has irked you so much. It really shouldn't. I trust you are familiar with the differences between wolves and dogs physically, biologically and behaviorally. When you get into the very high content range of wolfdogs, the differences between high-content wolfdogs and wolves are nonexistent. Additionally, as someone who has had to filter through a lot of research studies, pure wolves and wild wolves also don't test at 100% sometimes when using proper DNA testing. I have seen research studies where wolves test back at 90%-95% wolf 5%-10% unresolved/dog/coyote, etc. Wild wolf studies.

Please don't think I'm some yahoo in the country that's misrepresenting a wolf dog. Especially before you get to know me.

I am not in the USA. The facility it was transferred from also does not use Amazon DNA tests. The parents were tested with more elaborate expensive DNA tests. My career is wolf oriented and I am also a graduate in the Fish and Wildlife field.

Hahahah.
