That is what some scientists claim..
Pretty sure the scientific world (and everyone else in the world) are in agreement that wolves have a pretty good sense of smell.

I read recently that Labs were the most likely breed to bite people???? I Imagine it has to do with their numbers but I have never known anyone with a lab that had the least mean streak in it....I know they all will pick up peoples hands in their mouths if you ain't petting them and will playfully nip hands when rough housing but I have never seen a lab intentionally bite someone out of fear or malice...
A knife ain't a bad idea but a golf club will do the trick at a greater distance....
Only labs I've thought might bite me have been old ones that had become known assholes in their old age.
Chessies on the other hand...

I'm friggin fascinated by wolves. by far the coolest animal i've ever seen in the wild. makes your blood run cold when they look at you quote:
Wild Canid genetics are all kinds of fricked. Lots of interbreeding of the species here in North America. Some of it naturally, some of it because of the persecutions...can only frick what's available to frick.

Here's the journal entry I was talking about, i was wrong on the dates but one of the last pockets of red wolves was in southwest louisiana.

Got it. I'd be very interested to read up on that if you have a link. Kind of sounds like Momma's theory on why alligators are so ornery.
Colonel Sanders was wrong LOL....
Its only one theory but it is widely held as a reason that wolves are hard to impossible to domesticate...
May be a pay site???
Wolves are hard to domesticate
"That’s very important, because both wolves and dogs go through a critical period as puppies when they explore the world and learn who their friends and family are.
With wolves, that time is thought to start at about two weeks, when the wolves are deaf and blind. Scent is everything.
In dogs, it starts at about four weeks, when they can see, smell and hear. Dr. Lord thinks this shift in development, allowing dogs to use all their senses, might be key to their greater ability to connect with human beings."

I agree completely. I have never seen a lion or polar bear in the wild but I have seen wild wolves and the only other animal in my experience in the wild who knows without a doubt it is large and in charge is a moose....neither can be bothered with man for the most part....mountain lions will do anything they can to avoid interacting with a man...as will black and grizzly bears for the most part...but a wolf will simply watch you like a fat man reading a menu....

I knew the man who invented the dart used to collect wild animals who had two pure bred wolves in captivity. They would nearly starve before they'd eat anything that man fed them and he had them for at least 10 years. It can be done no doubt but it is almost impossible....
Interesting side note...old boy and his wife would inject themselves with the drug to go to sleep at night. I am not certain what it was called but apparently it worked for them LOL....

If the dog attacked you it will attack again. Amazing someone that deals with this sort of issue would own a liability like that. They need to have it destroyed.

eh. maybe if they are starving. there aren't many wolf attacks on people anymore, even in areas with a lot of them.

I've told the story on here more than once, and someone familiar with the capture of those animals that were transported to somewhere in the Carolinas I think, took part in the thread.
As a teenager, I shot at one from a moving truck. Took it's back legs out from under it with bird shot, but it wasn't even phased. Went straight to my uncle's trailer (he lived essentially in the wooded area on the border of Lake Fausse Pointe, and told him what happened.
He was a crawfisherman, and walked us out to a freezer in his shed. Opened it and asked us if it looked like that. He had a huge red wolf. Had to be as big as the biggest lab I had seen. This was '84-'85

Wrong. Average is 44,700.
Ive had TWO dog claims payout this year. Neither of the dogs bit anyone and were both Labs. Total for both claims...525,000!!!
I am actually going to be more surprised if the homeowners insurance had animal liability that covers that breed of dog.
