I have always wanted a wolf dog, and have done quite a bit of research on them. I am the town's dog trainer, and use methods that are similar to how an alpha wolf would tell a more submissive dog how to behave. With that, please just answer my question, and not nag me like a lot of people want to do.
My boyfriend and I found a near starving wolf/German Shepard. She is said to be 4 months, and is about a size between a lab and a beagle. At first I was skeptical of the wolf, but the closer I look, everything except her face and coat color is wolf. Cow hocked legs, large middle 'toes', caudal mark on the tail, a mane, and definitely the tail.
Anyways, she was my dream dog, wolf with my favorite breed, still a trainable age, great personality, etc. We took her home that night. I have always been picky on dog food (it must have meat as the first ingredient, little or no fillers, little or no by product, etc). Currently, she is eating Rachel Ray's Nutrish. In three days, her coat is definitely more healthy lookimg, and her eyes are brighter. I am giving her free choice food, at least until she is fat again, but I stop at 5 bowls (she doesn't eat that much at once, I make sure to put an hour or so between meals, so she doesnt puke it back up).
Is this diet good enough for her? She likes it, and online, it seems that as long as the food fits my standards, it is good enough for a part wolf. Would any wolfdog owners agree with this? Do you think supplements are nessessary?
