@@NeutralGuyDoubleZero Hyperbole??? Did we watch the same video? The wolf never could bring himself to trust. In the wild, caution is a survival instinct and try though he might, he didn't overcome it. Domesticating wolves into pets was a process that went on for generations. Breeding a wolf with a dog is not a viable shortcut. Do some research on the fate of many wolf/dog hybrids and you'll see how poorly it can work out. Many experts say you would be better with a full blood wolf than a mix because their temperament will be more predictable. Have you tamed any wild creatures? Lastly, I would like to say I have no problem with this family unit. Clearly everybody has found a working arrangement. Hundreds of people don't and it's always the poor animals who pay the price.

@@nisanight2247 I called hyperbole because you said *every* instinct they had. Which is just ridiculous. Wild cats had more instincts/characteristics to overcome to become domesticated I'd argue. And even then they're barely even that changed from their wild/bigger counterparts, just smaller and more docile. I'm *OBVIOUSLY* not saying taking care of a wolf hybrid or almost pure wolf is the same as a normal dog, nor am I saying it's fit for the average person. People should absolutely be aware of what they can manage and do more research. And there already is plenty of pushback against adopting wolf hybrids to be fair. One of the first videos i found about them was cautioning against getting them.

When you have a husky and people go "ooh looks so much like a wolf," so you go and get a wolf so people stop saying that about your husky.

From what I've learned about canine behavior, I'd say that he's just confused, he's trying to interact with this human like he would with a dog and that's clearly not working. His owner already stated that he purposefully didn't work with Kane on this, because he wanted to leave his wariness of strangers in him. It's a good call, in my opinion, very useful in our modern days...

Wolf: (Jumping up and down) yay it's a human, I will leave them alone. Husky: Human, come here!!!!

And here we see a model of a canine solar system, the wolf dog orbits around this human as it cannot resist the pull of many pets from said human, but is unable to get too close to the human due to its own forces pushing back against it. Meanwhile the husky, being made of less mass, feels less of a pull, but has less resistance as well, and therefore flies directly at the human, at near lightspeed. Soon however, the wolf dog will do the same, as the pull of pets from a human is one of the strongest forces in the universe.

I thought alot of wolf's do that when coming into contact with unfamiliar humans? They are interested but very careful? Idk just guessing

Kane is handsomely adorable. My mum lives in the country and a neighbor of hers had a pure bred wolf. His name was Wolfie and he thought everyone should pet him. He would stalk you on a walk and the minute you acknowledged him, he would turn into a great big heaping pile of wolf goo. I miss Wolfie.

For everyone wondering about Kane's wariness of the new human. I study wolves as part of learning about canine behavior. While Kane is a Malamute/Wolf mix, the wariness of a unknown person is quite stressful at first. When he was slightly worried at first, he still subtly showed his submissive gestures to her. The main one being to show his sides to her with his head slightly downward and not maintaining eye contact. But his running in a circle around her is him not only willing to accept her as a potential friend, but his way of checking her out. It does take more time for wolf dogs to trust but once it's there it'll never go away. I actually started following this channel for my classes just to study each of their behaviors and body language. So this absolutely helps me understand their similarities as well as their differences. So happy I found this channel. I adore wolves and Huskies. 🥰

Genetics play a pretty big role in temperament, people really underestimate how big of a role they play. Selectively breeding dogs the way we do actually intensifies the role genetics play in their temperaments- good and bad, from how outgoing they are, to how anxious and reactive they are. Obviously mishandling can/will intensify the bad though.

I see lots of patience and respecting boundaries

Wolf was like : play with me! But don't touch.

“Hello this is my nose” 😂 so cute

Anyone who happily walks up to dogs/wolf dogs saying “oh my goodness” is someone I would trust with my life.

Kane makes me laugh at the beginning of the video how he is happy to see grandma but he's kinda bouncing up and down and Harvey is so over ecstatic that he shows grandma how happy he is by wanting to tussle with Kane. Kane is shy. Looks like Kane is saying " I want to come to greet you but I'm scared" Then they both do a demonstration outside for grandma, how they enjoy playing and show her how fast they can run. So adorable to me. I thought that was nice of the boys to be so happy for mom. 🤣😂 LOL

the way a wolfdog runs is so different from a dogs.it seems more like a gallop compared to other dogs. jeez such a majestic creature, i wish i had the personality and ability to have one as ive always loved giant wolf dogs

"This is generally what you can expect from a high-content wolfdog (if you don’t take human socialization as a top priority). I prefer Kane to be pleasantly distrustful as opposed to Harvey who will happily jump into the back of a white van - especially if promises of ice cream are involved. " That line just killed me

Oh his sweet wolf self 💗. The company lady has it down though. I wish all ppl would approach unsure k-9s that way instead of bounding in yelling “HI DOGGO” and looming over their heads! Harvey’s markings still mesmerize me. So handsome.

That's super interesting - it's the same sort of thing we see from domesticated foxes.

Ah yes, so much for a “Big Bad Wolf”. See wolf dogs can be kept as pets. You just need them to be with the right person, give them the correct training and they will be as gentle as a pit bull.

The best way to do anything with any animal depends on that individual animal. I see no evidence that the wolf feels "aggressed" or "confronted". He's trying to make a choice, and it certainly looks like he's got plenty of time and space to make that choice. Meanwhile, the best way to appear intelligent on the internet is almost certainly NOT to give out unsolicited animal behavior advice based on a single 6-minute video (let alone based on a single overgeneralization you picked up somewhere).

I'm cautious of people I don't know well either, as well as certain people I do know well.

The size difference is absolutely apparent between a dog and a wolf-dog. HolyFFFFFFF

Sit in the middle of the room/space, remaining relaxed... after having played with Harves a bit. Showing two sides one positive and one neutral to him as he gets to know you maybe. Letting him smell and see first, but also smelling him back slightly and remaining calm. Then going back to talking a bit and maybe trying to play again. P.S. And then I keep watching and that's largely what happens! Only other aspect I might think of doing with the humans he does trust is 'belly up' perhaps.

When my Chihuahua mix is pleased to see my friend, he'll gallop towards her and then scamper in circles. He's clearly pleased to see her but excited to be off leash at our park too. It's quite funny. Reminds me a lot of Kane's running in circles here.

You have beautiful dogs.

Huskys are super intelligent, I knew one which was kinda aggressive towards people he didn't know, but as soon as they saw a new born, he that approached it, and he became as calm as a sheep and just played along, the same dog that once nearly tore my calf when it was still younger.

The woman who was caring for him worked at gatorland and she lived down the street from me at the time. The wolf greeted me acting like a puppy, beautiful creatures they are.

Perhaps next time ... consider her to be wearing a Loaf of his favorite brand of BREAD as a Necklace. lol D.A.

Kane: Hi! No! Yes! No? Pets? Maybe. Do I know you? Pets! Bye! Wanna go throught! Can't! Yes! Zoom! No! Pets! No! Attention! Wait no! Playtime! Pets! No!

Your reasoning is quite sound with Kane. He is a beautiful boy, and while I personally would just want to meet him; I know it would be from a distance and that's just fine with me. Although Harvey prefers to be the star of the show so, it'll work out for him at least lol
