Saarloos Wolfhound
The 'Saarloos wolfhoind' (Dutch Saarloos Wolfdog) is a breed of large dogs with relatively wolflike appearance and behavior, such as strong pack instincts. Starting in 1921, Dutch breeder Leendert Saarloos attempted to breed a dog that would be more amenable to training than the German shepherd. It is somewhat easier to train than other dog breeds more closely related to wolves, in part because the Canadian Timber Wolf, which hunts in packs (thereby giving it more interest in working as a team), was included in its background rather than the Carpathian Wolf, which hunts alone. However, the original goal has not been achieved. This breed was first officially recognised in 1975. Saarloos Wolfhound Reviews
