Pets home Saarloos Wolfdog Puppies for sale Nationwide

Saarloos wolfdogs can make good pets for experienced owners but are generally not recommended for first-time dog owners. They are high-energy dogs that need plenty of space, thus are unsuitable for apartment living. They require consistent training, socialisation, and experienced handling to thrive, but can be loyal and affectionate companions for those prepared for their specific needs.

In the UK, a Saarloos wolfdog typically costs between £600 and £1600, depending on factors such as breeder reputation and pedigree. In addition to the purchase price, monthly expenses for food, insurance, and general care usually range from £60 to £90, with insurance alone costing around £35 and food approximately £40 per month.

The Saarloos wolfdog originated from a cross between a German Shepherd and a Eurasian wolf in the early 20th century. However, the breed is now considered a distinct domestic dog breed, several generations removed from wolves. Consequently, they are not regarded as wolf hybrids and do not require special licensing as first or second generation wolfdog hybrids do.
