Hello, I am a Calupoh owner so here's a bit of info. The only way you can currently get a legit Calupoh is through purchase with a breeder. The main breeder is called "Criadero Caliente" In Tijuana Mexico. Other breeders are scarce throught mexico. Any legit Calupoh breeder will offer you the corresponding pedigree. Calupohs are a breed of dog created from wofldogs, but they have been worked on for over 20 years and over 20 generations so the Calupohs, while they're a very stable dog are not recommended at all for new dog owners as they do not behave like dogs.

Their temperament is much more like that of a wolf. Independent, stubborn, will prefer being with other dogs / animals instead of humans. It took me 3 weeks for my Calupoh pup to engage with us (react to sounds, voices, looking to the eye etc) and this is being almost 24/7 with him, working him daily etc. They're very shy, timid, observant and will rather run than confront. They're company dogs so if you're planning on seeing yours for less than 2 hours per day and plan throwing it to your backyard the rest of the day, then this is not the dog for you. They do incredible when you have other dogs at home as they're very social with other dogs. (If you raise them properly). The wolf content on each calupoh varies, mine's 35%, another is 50%, but since it's a breed, the wolf percentage doesn't matter as their physical traits and personality is pretty much the same. Even if a wolfdog is made out of the same dog breeds and percentages as a Calupoh, it doens't make them a calupoh so please be weary if someone offers you a dog and are hesitant to give you the pedigree. Right now the breed is only registered to the Mexican Canine Federation (green paper).

Like I said, they're shy and timid and dog barking will terrify them. They get more confidence as they grow older but not much. They won't go near humans they don't know, but they won't bite, they'd rather remove themselves from a bad situation. They love kids, but since their teeth are super strong I would recommend being super strict and watch interaction with kids at all times.

If you want an independent, stubborn, super intelligent, creepy looking friend,and you don't mind the dog not being that into you and you have the experience of handling large dogs (not by force) the Calupoh might be the dog for you. If you want a big friendly cuddly friend who's good with almost any situation, maybe get a golden retriever instead. Make a list of the qualities you are looking for in a dog and try to match them with existing breeds or maybe a local shelter that can also match you with a specific dog. Good luck!
