Wolfdogs are a cross between domestic dogs and wolves. While they can be intelligent and loyal, they retain many wild instincts, making their behavior unpredictable compared to fully domesticated dogs. They often struggle with typical pet situations and can pose safety risks if not managed properly.
Why they’re banned: Wolfdogs can be unpredictable, highly territorial, and difficult to train or socialize like normal domestic breeds.
Where they’re banned: Wolfdogs are banned or heavily restricted in many U.S. states (like New York and Alaska), as well as in several European countries.
