aloof and independent than others they are all quite energetic and love lots of
exercise and starting.
German Shepard
At number 10 on the list of top 10 wolf-like dog breeds on the planet we
have the German shepherd and to this day German shepherds have maintained their
elegant wolf-like appearance especially black white and sable colored German
shepherds look fairly similar to their wild counterparts perhaps this is why
these striking and very capable guard dogs naturally instill a certain fear response
in many people there is just something about large athletic canines with a wolf
like head that makes people's heart just beat a little bit faster.
Keeshond
At number nine on the list of top 10 wolf-like dog breeds on the planet we
have the keeshond and the keeshond is a medium to large spitz type breed that is
called the wolf spitz in its native Germany and with very good reason as the keeshond thick plush double coat strong head and pointed ears give them a
wolf like appearance the color of their luxurious coats is a black tipped
silver which is contrasted by a cream or pale grey undercoat these quiet independent
canines make amazing watch dogs as well as family companions
Somoyed

on the planet. We have the Samoyed originally bred to pull sledges heard reindeer
and assist their owners in hunting Samoyed have their name from Siberia’s Samoyed
people these absolutely beautiful sled dogs come with exclusively and white with
their pointed muzzles erect ears bushy tails and thick snow colored fur they
closely resemble the arctic wolf but in terms of temperament and character
these white dogs are far removed from their wild ancestors Samoyed are
immensely social and love humans with a passion
not only members of their own family but even complete strangers they
are very playful and make beautiful pets
Alaskan Malamute
At number seven on the list of top 10 wolf-like dog breeds on the planet we
have the Alaskan malamutes bred to pull heavy loads across the icy lands of the
arctic the Alaskan malamute is one of the strongest sled dog breeds in
existence large powerful and absolutely fearless malamutes even take on a fully
grown polar bear if they have to protected from the elements by a thick double
coat malamutes are no less formidable opponents than their wolf ancestors
themselves malamutes oft are often fairly aggressive towards other dogs however
these imposing dogs are quite friendly and calm in the house when exercised and
socialized well they can make excellent pets.
Siberian Husky
At number six on the list of top 10 wolf-like dog breeds on the planet we
have the Siberian husky the striking wolf-like appearance of the Siberian husky
has made the breed very popular in recent year with their stunning eyes often
blue or marble in color and their triangular shaped upright ears they strongly
remind us of our wild wolves and that plush fluffy coat is a joy to look at whilst
huskies can make wonderful and fun loving pets they need quite a lot of
exercise and an extra escape-proof fence just like wolves huskies can and will
climb fences in order to escape and to hunt.
Northern Inuit Dog
And the next very wolf-like dog on our list is an absolutely
beautiful designer breed during the 1980s Siberian huskies ,samoids Alaskan
malamutes and German shepherds were crossed to create this stunning wolf look
alike but despite their incredible similarity to their wild ancestors the
Northern Inuit Dog have no actual wolf dna as these marvelous dogs are quite
smart and friendly they can make great family companions like the breeds that
created them these dogs are quite energetic and need lots of exercise.
Native American Indian Dog
Here in the number four position on the list of top 10
wolf-like dog breeds on the planet we have another magnificent but little-known
breed the Native American Indian dog's similarity to the wolf is uncanny. very
tall athletic and highly intelligent these dogs are incredibly loyal to their
owners but due to their extremely high prey drive they do require an
experienced calm and consistent leader and whilst they can be kept as pets these
wolf like dogs are not suitable for families with very small children and
despite their wild appearance native American Indian dogs can be trained to
serve as hunting companions and even a search and rescue dogs.
Czechoslovakian wolf dog
Now we are entering into the top three positions and on the
bronze medal spot on the list of top 10 wolf-like dog breeds on the planet. We
have an amazing breed that has a real wolf blood running through its veins we are
speaking about the gorgeous Czechoslovakian wolf dog who is a cross between German
shepherds and carp avian wolves we are speaking about the gorgeous Czechoslovakian
wolf dog who is a cross between German shepherds and wolves and while some
owners do successfully keep these hybrids as pets it is not really the safest
thing to do unless you are an expert in canine behavior and really know what
you are doing their unique genetic structure make wolf dogs like the Czechoslovakian
quite unpredictable and volatile in some situations they react like wolves and
in others like domesticated dogs which is why true wolf dogs like the Czechoslovakian
are prohibited in many states of the us as well as in various other countries
of the world
Wolf Hybrid
At number two on the list of top 10 wolf-like dog breeds on the planet we
have another wolf hybrid the sarlus wolfhound is a cross between the German
shepherd and the timberwolf this breed is a marvel to look at and it is understandable
that many dog lovers are quite intrigued by the sarlus however what we have
just said about the Czechoslovakian wolf dog even more applies to this
timberwolf hybrid the breed is notorious for behaving very similarly to actual
wolves which can pose a serious danger for owners with small children there
have been quite a few bite incidents over the years involving wolf hybrids biting
a young child in the head much like a wolf would do the consequences for the
child can be absolutely devastating obviously which is why salu's wolfhounds
are not at all suited for less experienced dog owners or for families with
younger children.
The tamaskan dog
And our gold medal winner the top wolf like dog breed in the
world is the tamaskan dog also known as the tamaskan wolf dog this stunningly
beautiful large canine looks very similar to the European gray wolf and yet this
breed has zero wolf dna in it the so-called wolf gene has been bred out of the tamaskan
in order to make them more suitable as canine companions this athletic dog has
a striking thick double coat and a straight bushy tail in color tamaskan can be
of black tipped grey red tinted grey or the classical wolf gray but what made
the tamaskan win our gold medal is it's amazingly friendly people loving nature
sweet affectionate and devoted to its humans the tamaskan is quite a safe dog
and can make an excellent family companion in terms of intelligence and
trainability these wolf likes rival even the German shepherd.
