way is a gray wolf not alowd in a dog show?

While a gray wolf is a canine, it is not a domestic breed.  Show dogs must be one of several certified breeds recognized by a particular governing body such as the American Kennel Club (AKC).  There are also international organizations who determine the validity of a breed for certain show dogs.

Wolves use the den basically to house the wolf pups. The den is not big enough for the whole pack, just the alpha female and pups. Snow and heavy brush, sometimes packed in a" nest " like area, is good enough for most of the pack, as it is insulative.

I believe in the possibility of such an animal existing. There have been reports of similar animals in North America (San Francisco and Lake Champlain).

The only fox that is able to climb trees is the gray fox.  The gray fox and the raccoon dog of Asia are the only member of the canine family that are able to climb trees.  Gray fox will climbs trees to escape ground predators such as coyotes, though it wouldn't protect it from bobcats.

In addition to the answer that Sherasi gave, this web site contains information on a few other types of wolves around the globe.\n\nhttp://www.cosmosmith.com/wolfpage.html

Generally speaking, height varies from 0.6 to 0.9 meters (24 to 35 inches) at the shoulder, and weight can range anywhere from 25 to 65 kg (55-143 pounds), making wolves the largest among all wild canids. Although rarely encountered, extreme specimens reaching 80 kg (176 lb.) have been recorded in Alaska and Canada, though some people claim to have seen even larger anomalous individuals (90+ kg) roaming the Yukon, where some of the largest wolves in North America can be found. Customarily, however, wolves will be of a more typical physical capacity, with the females in a given population weighing about twenty percent less than their male counterparts. Wolves can measure anywhere between 1.3 and 2 meters (51 to 78 inches) from nose to tail tip, with the tail itself consisting of approximately one quarter of overall body length. \n\nWolves in the wild live between 6-9 years, but in captivity can live up to 18 years.\n\nSome great wolf fact sites include\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolf\nhttp://www.wolf.org/wolves/learn/basic/faq.asp\nhttp://www.wolfweb.com/facts.html\nhttp://www.alaska.net/~wolfsong/wolf_facts.html

Aw, they don't? Then I would say Fenrisulfr, or Fenrir the wolf. From Norse mythos, NOT Narnia crap...

Dingoes don't bark because they are one of the most primitive dog breeds in the world. That means they share a lot of traits in common with wolves, including not barking as adults and only having one breeding season each year.\n\nAll dogs are descendants of wolves, but most breeds have been heavily modified in the 30, 000 years or so since they were first domesticated. Dingoes have been modified far less than any other breed and so retain a lot of wolf traits.\n\nDingoes and wolves do bark as pups, and they will very rarely yap as adults.

Not I! :D\n\nLOL My family raises wolves and I would rather have them by my side in the dark than anything else. Have you ever seen pissed wolves bare their teeth in the moonlight? LOL I don't think very many monsters, bad people, or clowns would mess with me then! It would be like having 6, 190lb. bodyguards with a jaw crush strength of 2,700 lbs. (which is quite a bit higher than the human skull can withstand btw) that can run up to 47 m.p.h.'s, and are willing to die for me. :D

Someone throws it up on here at least a few times a day. Usually some chicken little selling wolf tickets. Anyway here is a link to help you make sense of it.

I dunno who silver fox is. Silver sounds sly. Grey fox would be shy.

http://www.nps.gov/yell/nature/animals/wolf/wolfrest.html\n\n"The Three Little Pigs and Little Red Riding Hood are classic children's fairy tales, but the tale of the Rocky Mountain Gray Wolf is real.  Wolves are predators, and in 1914, the United States Congress huffed and puffed and approved the funding to destroy the wolves.  Government bounty hunters helped ranchers protect their livestock by killing the wolves.  Sixty years later the Gray Wolf was listed as endangered.   In 1973, Congress enacted the Endangered Species Act, and the Wolf Recovery Program was started to reintroduce the Gray Wolf to its natural habitat.   Currently about 160 wolves have been reintroduced to central Idaho and Yellowstone National Park.  But this story does not have a fairy tale ending.  Fearing for their livestock, the ranchers filed a lawsuit, and in December 1997, U.S. District Judge William Downes ruled that all the wolves and their offspring must be removed."

Dogs have been domesticated and bred by humans, while wolves still maintain their animal habits and are not domesticated (for the most part).

1) The largest species of wolf is the grey wolf.\n\n2) There is already a species of wolf in Africa, and it has been there for over 5 million years. This is the Ethiopian wolf, and it is currently far more endangered than the grey wolf. It is reasonably expected t become extinct within the next 50 years.\n\n3) There is also another species of wild dog in Africa called, African WIld Dogs. Isn't that an original name. African Wild Dogs are also seriously threatened due priamrily to the introduction of diseases from domestics dogs.\n\n4) Assuming you could successfully introduce grey wolves into Africa you would almost certainly cause the extinction of both the Ethiopian wolf and the African Wild Dog. This is why actual scientists don't simply move species around without doing a lot of research on the potential effects.\n\n5) Grey wolves could only possibly survive in the very southernmost part of Africa. Grey wolves are temperate animals and they can not tolerate high temperatures, This is why wolves are restricted to Northern India and the US and have never live din Mexico or Southern India. They simply can not hunt on warm days. You MIGHT be able to introduce grey wolves to South Africa and Libya, but that would be the absolute limit of their potential range on the continent. Grey wolves could not tolerate the heat across 90% of the continent.\n\n6) Grey wolves may have strong jaws but they are weak compared to lions and hyaenas and comparable to African Wild Dogs.\n\n7) No wolf in the world could possibly outrun a lion, that is sheer fantasy.\n\n8) Grey wolves would have absolutely no chance defending themselves against hyaenas. African Wild Dogs have evolved to form packs of 10-20 adults to give them a fighting chance against hyaenas and they live in burrows. The largest grey wolf packs consist of less than 8 adults and grey wolve slive above ground. Grey wolves would be exterminated in short order by hyaenas.\n\n9) Wolves can’t live in jungles. Wolves have never lived in jungles. Wolves are temperate forest and grassland predators. They can not survive in jungles.\n\n10) It amazes me that you call yourself a student and claim to be concerned about wolves yet apparently know nothing about their behaviour or habitat requirements, or about related species already native to Africa.\n\nIn summary, any plan to introduce wolves to Africa is simply silly. Sorry, there’s no other way to describe it. It is hideously flawed on every level.

Yes, they certainly can.  It doesn't usually happen but they would produce healthy offspring.  The resultant animal is called a wolf-dog.\n\nThere is very little genetic difference between any dog and any wolf, coyote, or jackal, etc., so little, in fact, that genetic tests cannot tell how much wolf is in deliberately bred wolf-dogs. The domesticated canines and their wild cousins CAN interbreed. However, pedigrees on Malamutes and Siberians are available back ~20 generations (to the early 1930s at least) and these dogs are not wolf crosses -- Malamutes are Malamutes, Siberians are Siberians.

Carolus Linnaeus gave the wolf the scientific name Canis lupus...\n\nWolf weight and size can vary greatly worldwide, though both tend to increase proportionally with higher latitudes. Generally speaking, height varies from 0.6 to 0.9 meters (24 to 35 inches) at the shoulder, and weight can range anywhere from 25 to 65 kg (55-143 pounds), making wolves the largest among all wild canids....\n\nThere are 13 living subspecies, and 2 recently extinct subspecies.\n\nIf U need more information... Can contact me. Will try to answer all your Question...
