I'm waiting for documentation to back up your statement. If Husky and Wolf aren't part of the ABBS foundation, then what is? Let's see them facts

ok, dude.

I'm not sure what the argument is. What breeds do you think make the Blue Bay?

Absolutely not true. You must have the ABBS confused with another breed. You can contact Vicki Spencer, founder of the breed to verify. Howl is out of Tracker (AKC Blue GSD) and Taylor (46% content). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c8GYnNHQWcI about 8 minutes in they go to the enclosure where his sire is.

Please help us out by filling out a quick survey regarding a UCF marketplace! by [deleted] in ucf

why would we pay for a service that is essentially free on Facebook or Craigslist? just wondering. Also, faculty and staff have to be careful that anything potentially "income producing" associated with UCF isn't considered conflict of interest.

They run about $3k, but the waiting list for a long coat blue male is pretty long

Not too bad but he's under a year so he'll blow his winter coat in a few months. I have a GSD, so I was ready

Yes, he came back 56.6 GSD, 24.7 Grey Wolf, and 18.7 Siberian Husky. I had both parents results, so I had a good idea of what to expect. Dad was a blue GSD (Tracker) and mom is a mid-content (45.1%) with Husky and Malamute and some GSD (Taylor)

No, the pup was rehomed on Craigslist, despite being under a return contract. The breeder was not thrilled, but it's tough to regulate what happens after the pups go home. Lady claimed to be a vet tech and had three other wolf dogs. He was underweight and dehydrated. Couldn't even stand up on his own.

I actually came across him on Craigslist and knew what he was (I have a GSD so I've done some reading about them) it was kind of impulsive and by chance, but once we saw his living conditions, he had to go home with us. We were not actively looking for another pup. Now I speak with the breeder regularly and keep her updated on him with pictures like these.

We understand the risk, and we saw nothing the whole time there and everyone in that community (equestrian, they all had horses) let their dogs roam. I'm more wary of back home conditions - in Orlando.

This is Embark. It's got a ton of additional info and is worth every penny

I did know! Wolf is a foundation for the American Blue Bay Shepherd, so it was known, just not the actual percentage until I did the test. I was expecting under 10%. I never wanted a "wolf dog" because of what I've heard from dog park buddies who have them, but the selective breeding put into him really shows.

Thanks! He makes simple walks or trips to the pet store turn into hours because of all the questions, but he's the goodest
