Ive had them since they were 4 weeks , brothers 5 years old last August ...the grey one runs a lean 128 lbs and is real long the brown one is 115 and shorter, best dogs ever . 10% Siberian Husky/10% Norwegian Elkhond/80% timber wolf
I'm 6'3 and the grey one in the picture with my wife can put his paws on my shoulders and look slightly down on me when I am standing
Very family orientated, very protective over the children and females in the family , I'd die for them
Okay, with all due respect,
There is NO WAY those things are 80% wolf.
Strong clear transition between white and colored fur = very strong dog blood
Relatively large ears, wide set, very pointed = very strong dog blood
Narrower skull, muzzle less triangular coming back, comes back more 'straight' = very strong dog blood (wider skull, more of a triangular muzzle shape coming back are all related to needing much more bite/jawcrush power)
Shorter less shaggy body hair, yet lacking the very short fur on legs = very strong dog blood
Ratio of height to length more similar to standard nordic breeds than wolf = very strong dog blood
'dots' of white above eyes = very uncommon in wolf, very common in various nordic breeds = very strong dog blood.
Long tail = very strong dog blood
Shortish muzzle = indicating dog
Eye color = too dark by far = very strong dog blood
Tail carried high and/or out, only 1 picture but so that's harder to tell = indicating dog
Puppy picture is the real clincher. Wolf pups don't develope coloration divisions until later. All are almost uniformally dark brown, shade can be a bit lighter or darker as an indicator of adult coloration, although lighter will get lighter and darker will get darker. There will often be a bit lighter brown around the eyes, muzzle legs, etc. As with many animals, camouflage of pups is important and adult colors don't tend to emerge until later.
It doesn't take much wolf blood at all to make a wolf-dog combo look extremely wolfish (provided the dog part is one of the nordic breeds not talking wolf x golden retriever)
The truth is the vast majority of dogs sold as 'wolf dogs' have drastically less content than what they are advertised as having, if they have any at all. I have little doubt you were told the dogs you have are 80% wolf. I have no doubt that at most they are 20% wolf.
