HELLO
PLEASE COULD ANYONE TELL ME HOW I CAN GET A (GREY/WHITE - REGULAR COLOUR)WOLF CUB FOR MYSELF AS A PET AND THE COST TO BUY ONE?
I AM A VET NURSE/PET TRAINER SO I WILL BE ABLE TO LOOK AFTER A WOLF CUB AND WILL BE ABLE TO TRAIN IT.
THANKING YOU!

No one will question your ability, but I'd have some serious reservation on the wolf's desire to be "trained". Unless you know something no one else is history does, a pure wolf will never be "trained". In the UK, I'm sure there are going to be even bigger hurdles that we do here. Good luck.
who will eventually bite your face off someday. Not a good idea.
you don't want a wolf for a pet, not if you like your house and yard. You can 'look after' a wolf just as well as it will 'look after' you as it will consider you part if it's pack. When you leave it home alone to go to work it will eat your house and/or yard. In 1982-83 when we were in alaska previously, hubby and I had a wolf hybrid. Sweetest, kindest, gentlest animal... HOWEVER when I went into the hospital to give birth, he ate my house and furniture. He was very pissed that I had left him alone for 3 days and he let me know it. Hubby had to clean up a mess EVERY day that I was gone. Once I was home again and there all the times, it was all fine and dandy. There were other things that happened with him that I have never experienced with dogs (no he was never mean).
Someone stole him from me when we moved to Colorado, and I'll never forget him, BUT I will never own a high percentage wolf hybrid again, no matter how much I would love to, I don't have the time. It's a FULL TIME job unless you have acres of land and a 10 foot fence that goes underground also. It's not worth it and the wolf would be miserable which isn't fair to you or it.
You want an animal that's as close to a wolf as a dog can get, get a Greenland Husky or a MacKenzie Husky (I have 8 of these), just make sure you live in a cold climate.
Here in Alaska people strut around and say 'My dog is part wolf'. Now, not to mention the fact that nowadays it's illegal, I often ask them if they work. When they say 'of course' I ask them if they have a couch and house left. If they say yes then I tell them they have a dog, not a wolf.

Wolves that I raised from pups.
They are fun to be around & some times they are goofy , Jumping around for no reason.
Very good watch dogs, BUT, I could never trust any of them.
One of my children was playing with one of the males one time & I went out to get her because she had gotten in trouble for playing in the dirt after being told not to. to make a long story short, the Wolf would not let me get near my child.
This was the first time.
Anouther time I a Insurance lady came up to the door, not heeding the signs to beware of dog.
he watched her come past & bit her on the cheeck of the butt.
Next I heard a car horn & people screaming. I went outside & my gate was open & my Wolf was on the hood of a Jehova witness's car growling at them through the windsheild.
They had also not paid heed to the signs but made it back to their car in time.
I have been bitten myself by every one that I have ever owned because I trusted them too much.
I realy enjoyed haveing them but will never have one again.
I also had an experience with my wolfdog when I first brought the baby home from the hospital. Other than the face that he absolutely loved the baby (was HIS pup), I had to be careful I didn't 'burp' the baby too hard! He would sit in front of me and look and me and grown real low when the 'burping' became too vigorous! If it wasn't for the fact that I knew he was serious about protesting this baby, it would have been comical.
There are just too many factors in owning wolves, much as I love em.

The title speaks for itself. Once a wild animal, always a wild animal
