Re: [pyrnet] Pyr/Wolf crosses

["Susan Irving" <sirving@rogers.com>]

I don't know about crossing them with pyrs, but a number of years ago I had
a friend who had a white artic wolf, malamute cross, and that dog was the
best trained, most gentle dog I have ever met! And extremely intelligent!
Whether or not that was just a fluke, I can't say, because that is the only
wolf cross I have ever met.
