Beau and Samuel puppies born August 2014

Beau and Wolf have made a great match.

They have 1 male

and 2 females.

I have handled these pups from the day they were born as birthday imprinting and daily handling like picking them up and walking around, is crucial for something bred this wild to be social and work for you.

Now, as much as I love to see the results of registered foundation breed results, and pure breed working bloodlines, let us remember that the red wolf was a part of the Catahoula gene pool which began about 500 years ago, and in spite of some DNA experts claiming otherwise, the wolf was in there then(hundreds of years ago) and genetically it is still in there now, as all modern domestic breeds evolved from wild wolves at some point in history.

Well here is my take on the wolf gene debate: I believe it was good then and it is good now, so I am producing 1 or 2 litters a year for my friends in the north country who need a long haired working dog.

Samuel is a pure bred white wolf with a black saddle back, to quote my friends from Alaska who run the Ididarod dog sled races, he is the most beautiful wolf they have ever seen.

Well when it comes to working, I have to keep him on a leash during deer season so he doesn't get shot, but this big boy is a blood tracking fool, who I will let off the leash if a deer jumps wounded because Samuel will grab the deer by the neck and take it down unless it is a healthy strong buck who wants to fight. If it is a fight, Samuel goes for the throat to take 'em down!

Worse part of tracking with Samuel is that he gets really excited when we get about 100 yards from the kill if it is gut shot, and if it is NOT dead and starts to move he goes nuts and may actually drag me down because he almost cannot control himself!

 Well, I can't blame him because he knows he is about to have fun.

This dog has personality and so will his pups if they are properly socialized.
