Great Pyrenees Pictures / Re: Pics of pyrenees/artic wolf hybrid

I did a little research and found out the ending of this dog/wolf hybrid story may not turn out so good. Seems the older they get the more wolf comes out although i could find no references of a mix of this type. He acts like a normal friendly Pyr so far. He has some of the Pyr herd instinct but has already mauled a mini-goat and killed some chickens. What i have is a herd dog that herds them up and then tries to eat them. Loves to chase armadillos! He does the Pyr "big paw swipe" sometimes but not so much as he gets older. He doesn't wander away from home like a Pyr. The tail hangs down a lot of the time instead of curling up over the back. He has a feriocious digging instinct which i understand is a wolf trait. The back yard has craters everywhere. He gets bored easily and chews up anything not tied down. Plays well with the other dogs except the play fights with the pit bull almost get out of hand sometimes. Another thing i have noticed that i didn't on the other Pyrs is the dog laying on his back and acting submissive whenever i come around like i am the alpha male. He has a mouthful of long sharp teeth and the pit bull after playing looks like it has been through a shredder sometimes. In other words, wolf teeth not Pyr teeth. I have to keep him regardless of how he turns out because i found out that i pretty much couldn't give him away because of what he is and dog pounds won't take wolf mixes. In other words if he turns out bad he will have to be destroyed. I don't even want to think about that.
