1 Old Saarloos Wolfdog Puppies for sale in Waltham Abbey, Essex

The Saarloos Wolfdog, also known as Dutch Wolfdog, Saarloos Wolfhond, as its name suggests, has a very wolf-like appearance. They were first bred in the 1930s by crossing a German Shepherd Dog with a European Wolf with the aim of breeding a dog that was more natural in its behaviour. Although not as popular in the UK, they have a large following in other parts of the world thanks to their wolf-like appearance and friendly, loyal and sociable nature. The Saarloos Wolfdog is not recognised as a breed by the Kennel Club (January 2018), but many local breed clubs have been formed with the goal of continuing to produce healthy, well-bred puppies.

FAQs

Are Saarloos wolfdogs legal in the UK?

Yes, Saarloos wolfdogs are legal in the UK. They are recognised as a domestic dog breed and are not considered wolf-dog hybrids. Only first or second generation wolfdog hybrids require special licensing, but Saarloos wolfdogs are typically several generations removed from wolves and therefore do not need a licence under UK law. For detailed information, local authorities can provide guidance.

Are Saarloos wolfdogs good pets?

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.

How much does a Saarloos wolfdog cost?

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.

Are Saarloos wolfdogs part wolf?

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.
