This is a click-bait series that I found interesting.

One I am favoring is the Czechoslovakian Wolf Dog (see in attached link).

I have no pets, mostly due to allergies.
But I must say that those dogs at your link look beautiful.
I think that the dog's personalities must be important too.
If I could, I think I would have one of those.

There are dogs and cats that are somewhat allergens free.

My son has gotten a Basenji, an African hunting dog, that fit the bill. She has been a wonderful pet to his family. And has proven to be very clean to the point of not triggering his allergies. Due to her exposure to her 'cousin', a grey fox terrier, she has developed a decidedly her own "bark".

We had a wolf dog. His name was Timber.
He was one of the best dogs we had.
Our daughter brought him home when he was a little bitty puppy, and said "can we keep him?
When we took him to the vet for his first checkup, the vet said he was part wolf. When he got full grown you could see his wolf look very well.

They are called...mutts.

In some states in the US wolf-dog hybrids are illegal - and the state will order DNA tests to determine that... So if these dogs are actual hybrids, some research would be needed before seeking one.

Those really are incredibly beautiful animals!!!

That said, though, these kinds of "designer" mutts are a bad idea, because there's no way of predicting what their personalities will turn out to be. At least with a purebred there's a history you can sort of depend on.

I read that the guy who bred the first labradoodle (labrador and standard poodle), some 30 years ago, now says he created a monster and regrets it. It's subject to all the health problems of both breeds, and the personality isn't predictable. Further, since it became such a fad, backyard breeders produce tons of them strictly for the money and have no desire (or understanding) to use healthy parents. Very sad.
