Being Owned By A Dog Like This, Is A Life Style; If They Don't Suit YOURS, Then YOU Definitely Will Not Suit THEIRS, SO...
Noble boy pup (agape) lives with an animal trainer in the movie industry to see agape and the other pups go to the noble pup page, and no the wooden fencing is only his supervised form of containment for some training and such, his main form of containment is escape proof. Make sure you read through my policies and care and containment pages.
In the past we have tried to make a distinction between animals which we acknowledge have some value and others which, having none, can be liquidated when we wish. This standard must be abandoned. Everything that lives has value simply as a living thing, as one of the manifestations of the mystery that is life.

Welcome to my sacred space at Noble Pawz, home to an elite and majestic breed type. Regal dogs with a noble distinction! The quotes above pretty much sums our our beliefs of life and how we live our own.
Every canine here is first and formost treated as a family member and not a caged breeding machine. (Any breeding is done very limitedly, on reserve.)
All the canines here are given the upmost in enrichment environmentally, emotionally, and physically. I am very proud of my facilities and work hard to ensure each canine is happy and healthy. 
Once you experience this breed type as a companion and have prepared for such, you are addicted for life. (On the other hand if you have not completely prepared yourself, such a canine can be your worst nightmare, like any type of canine not thoroughly understood prior to attainment) This dogs majestic appearance and commitment to their owners enchant one upon first coming in contact with them, I know I have never looked back. At the same time adequate and due care must be painstakingly met on a breeders part in order to make the right placements, into the right environments, just as any other breed or breed type.
Be Aware! Anyone that says , *wolves* (even worse 
), or wolfdogs make great kids pet dogs, have :
a) Most likely only ever dealt with mostly dog in the wolfdog, (or dogs said to be wolfdogs) and most likely have misrepresented animals (like telling buyers their blue eyed white wolfdog actually has Arctic in it, and a lot of wolf , (NOT!) Arctic's are Not born white, (NO subspecies of wolf is born white) that is ONLY a dog trait, NOT a wolf trait, blue eyes is a dog trait not a wolf trait. (So if you have a blue eyed white, supposedly 80% plus wolfdog born in summer, fall or winter , as anything born in months other than early to late spring would not be high content or pure,) you were lied to big time! It seems anyone whom claims to have a wolfdog and it is white automatically tells buyers it has Arctic in it.
b) are outright lying, to make a sale, and shame on any breeder for whether the wolfdog is of lower content or high to make statements that these kinds of dogs make excellent kids pets, is wrong. These are not *kids* dogs, if you want a larger pet for your kid get a dog such a well bred samoyed, or sibe if the child is young getting a smaller breed of dog. With so many not even able to handle golden retrievers these days attaining a canine with it's own unique and special needs than the average dog is just too much, so many wind up being dumped into rescue. These are not the kind of dogs to get if you have a macho complex, and not something you take into your life only to use, and breed as a business, we support our canine friends here, not the other way around. I do not make the statement they are not good kids pets because they are vicious animals, but because they are large and powerful animals and can be highly predatorial, the instincts that can be brought out in such a canine very easily, can be too much to expect a child to handle in their home environment. Many adults wouldnt have what it truly takes to be owned by one, and you ask of a child to understand them? (Shame on those people and breeders) This does not mean if you have a child in your home having such a canine cannot work either, *depending on the childs age and understanding level* and the lineage of the dog itself, but this calls for such HYPER vigilence, strict supervision at all times and PROPER containment for such a canine. It is not about what an adult wants, it should if you have a child or children they should be of first priority thus get a well bred dog that would make a more suitable canine pet in your household.
NOTE: A Word on The Types/and Subspecies of Wolves In The WolfDog: Many breeders out there dont even understand the TRUE subspecies of wolves and come up with wolf subspecies that dont exist like black arctic for example.
For more information on the TRUE scientific classification of pure wolves click on ALL ABOUT WOLVES JUST THE FACTS this takes you to EVERYTHING pure wolf and TRUE facts, not passed along MYTHS by ignorant breeders and owners. Arm yourself with knowledge, not the ignorance so common, and get in the know so you know.
A word on the percentage Myth: Anyone telling you there is such a thing as exact percentage of wolfdog, they either are ignorant and have not taken biology, or simply follow along with the same percentage myth most follow, and have for years, taking pecentages of parents adding the parents percentage together, and taking that result, dividing by two to get pups percentage.
In wolfdog breeding, pups inherit any number of genetics from their lineage on both sides. Using this bogus method, it is like stating you are 53.7% irish, 12.3 % chinese and so on. It is a myth, to determine exact percentages using this method, the method used above is something invented by breeders, not scientists/wolf biologists. Ask a breeder who gives you percentages of their wolfdogs HOW they come up with that, do they launch into a huge scientific explanation, or do they tell you what I tell you above a spiel of sorts? do they tell you they have paperproof to give you, that DNA markers within their animals were tested to determine that percentage? That the tests revealed the pups were 12.5% red wolf, 27.3% british columbian wolf, 61.7% tundra wolf etc. It is best to understand filial generations, and content level, and even then the MAJORITY of breeders who are out there *thinking* in their own minds they are qualified to educate let alone breed, are passing on potentially dangerous information to the public, about these kinds of canines, this NEEDS to STOP.
Someone who thinks they have just purchased something with a lot of wolf, and it is the best pet they could ask for, rides well in their car like any other dog, without car sickness and fear defecating, excellent kids dog, does not need fort knox containment, is content to lay around in your house at your feet while you watch T.V, is not destructive, is someone whom has been lied to in the past, and their breeder has been lied to and so on, such people will then go out and get something that is higher maybe someday, and find out horribly fast just how different one is from the next, and put themselves and family members in possible jeopardy, not because the canine is mean, but because in the wrong environment they (the humans) can do things that can create unsafe situations with such a high needs animal, which can result in the person getting seriosuly hurt or worse. This creates bans, and negative fodder. You will not hear all fuzzy bunny stuff about this kind of canine from me, but if I had alaskan malamutes I would be just as serious and upfront with that breed as well as heaven knows that is not a breed for everyone.
Is There a Test To Distinquish between a pure wolf and a Dog? One word YES!! There is, and anyone who says different is ignorant of the evolving science. Anyone who has worked with these animals long enough, and seriously enough have kept up to date on this information, and knew one day it would happen it was a matter of time.

Disclaimer: My dogs though having wolf heritage are dogs one and the very same as to the domestic dog taxonomic reclassification canis lupus (var domestic)
If other people use the term wolfdog to describe anything other than what many wolfdogs are (depending on content level and lineage) in a selective breeding program ... DOGS this has no bearing on how I use the term. All dogs have wolf heritage of various degree. As with all breeds, and breed types my dogs have their own unique needs and requirements for care. Just as different as a German Shepherd is from a poodle, as a poodle is from an Alaskan Malamute and so on.
If you query (Like I have) Dr. Raymond Pierotti (please click on his name ) leading expert on wolfdogs and wolves, he will tell you what I tell you here about them becoming dogs again in as little as a few generations, and how, like I feel and via experience, that physical phenotyping is very subjective.
Through my experiences of working with hundreds of breeds and breed types, filial generations of wolfdogs all the way to pure wolves, I have come to find like Dr. Pierotti, it takes as little as a few generations of careful selection without introducing pure wolf into the line, to get back to what a dog is again pro type (or primitive dog type) behavior wise, while still retaining enough of a wolf like appearance. This belief via hands on experience led me to contact Dr. Pierotti to see what he had to say on the subject.
Dog meaning dogs such as nordic breeds such as CDN Eskimo dogs in behaviors. *more primitive* (Physical phenotyping) is too subjective as to what a dog or wolfdog may or may not be.
The term hybrid is used almost exclusively to describe offspring arising from a crossing between two separate and genetically distinct species, whos offspring would be sterile (infertile)...wolves and dogs can breed freely and create offspring that as well can breed freely. Though In 1993, the Smithsonian and American Society of Mammalogists reclassified the dog from the classification of Canis familiaris to Canis lupus familiaris; (but one of a number of synonyms for canis lupus) *pierotti* making wolves (Canis lupus *Grey Wolf*) and dogs members of the same family. I should clarify that according to Dr. Pierotti this does not make familiaris a subspecies. The correct term according to Dr. Raymond Pierotti is canis lupus (var domestic) Essentially however if broken down the classification itself states domestic dogs are wolfdogs to some degree. Though the definition of hybrid also encompasses the meaning of cross breeding animals of mixed origin, the term has been notoriously administered in the past and still to present day, to the first definition I use above, to black list or demean dogs of wolf origin.

Quote from Dr. Pierotti ((((Domestic dogs are not Canis lupus familiaris. This is a common error based upon the American Society of Mammalogists volume of Classification of Mammals published by Smithsonian Press. That book lists familiaris as one of a number of synonyms for Canis lupus that have been published over the years. This does not make familiaris a subspecies. The correct scientific designation for domestic dogs is Canis lupus (var domestic).))) ((((The Mammal Book (it is usually referred to as Roeder and Wilson after its authors) simply listed all of the Latin names that had ever been given to wolves by scientists. Since they were including domestic dogs as wolves, they listed familiaris as one of these synonyms. Several other synonyms were the names of subspecies, like tundrarum, lycaon, nubilis, etc, people started to get the idea that this meant that familiaris was simply another subspecies (even **** **** has made this mistake). This is incorrect however, because familiaris is a grab-bag classification of highly variable animals with almost certain multiple origins. You cannot have either a species or a subspecies with multiple origins according to modern systematics, so familiaris no longer exists as a valid scientific name and domestic is simply a variety.)))) *pierotti*
wd's are not exotic or wild, however the owner of this site does NOT endorse irresponsible and unthoughtful breeding/and placement of a canine that is a high needs animal, and due care should be taken to ensure the right placements according to the animals unique needs.
The animals pictured on this site, are NOT pure wolves. So please do not enquire with me to purchase *wolf* pups, when you write to me. There is a CLEAR distinction between pure WOLVES and many dogs with wolf heritage (wolfdogs) in a selective breeding program, and most wouldn't know if either bit them in the butt.
Final Note: We absolutely unequivocally, do NOT endorse, nor participate in any breeding or selling *pure* wolves as pets/companion animals, and placing into private homes as such. This site is about our dogs with wolf heritage only, and such *dogs* can be placed in unlicensed private homes if the homes are qualified, and are legal, please read sentence above. Pure wolves however are wild animals, and are what they are, this cannot be changed regardless of raising, even if one attains fairly good tractability over time. There are old lines in existence where it is wolfdog to wolfdog breeding, and they are in a selective breeding program like any other breed.
