Hunting with wolf-laikas in Russia

Posted in wolves, working dogs, tagged laika, wolf hybrids, wolfdog, working wolfdogs, working wolves on January 26, 2014 | 42 Comments »

This is dubbed in English, so you can understand the method. They don’t believe in closed registries out on taiga. The dogs they use in the crosses don’t even have to be domestic!

Water spaniels, circa 1800

These “spaniels” were owned by Mrs. Orby Hunter and were painted by Ben Marshall.

Their names were “Diver” and “Shuckleback.”

Diver is a barbet/English rough water dog/poodle type of water dog, but Shuckleback looks like a proto-curly coated retriever.

Maybe a bit of St. John’s water dog had been crossed in, or maybe he was of a sort of water dog that is part of the St. John’s water dog’s ancestry.

I don’t normally watch these sorts of “man living with wolves” documentaries, but this is excellent!

The very interesting part is where the German shepherd tries to tend to the cattle while the wolf tries to test them as possible prey.

A German shepherd is a very different animal from a wolf.

It’s a pastoral dog.
