My husband, Pete, and I, Stacy, met over 20 years ago. He had 5 hybrids, and I had 2 cats and felt uncomfortable around big dogs. Then I met his pack and the alpha, B.J. He mesmerized me as he just had a presence. I had no fear. That was that and I was hooked.
Over time we have raised a total of 29 wolfdogs; males, females, intact, fixed, high content, low content. But our first litter just kind of happened. And the rest of the story tells itself.
People say to us-how can you live with wolves. Well, they are challenging and fun!
We live this way because we love our wolfdogs, yes, but it's much more than that. They have become a part of us, a part of our family. It's about knowing and understanding their nature and nurturing that, not trying to stop that. They make us laugh, cry, and find a deeper level of strength I never thought possible. One day, I was laying down with Elf, petting her while she was nursing, and I started crying tears of joy from the beauty and majesty that came from her soul.
