There used to be a guy in Red Lodge that raised wolf pups as domestics,
however the preferred mix was part [largebone] german shephard or such
mixed with timber wolf. We had one when I was a kid, not really that
different from any ranch dog other than size, really really big teeth,
spooky eyes, double layer coat, really big furry feet, tendency to kill
coyotes on sight, etc. Never did run deer, but then we trained it as
you'd train any normal dog. Neighbor kids could even ride the thing
around while doing horrid things to hair and ears. It would pull kids on
skis, but absolutely refused to ever consider the concept of "fetch".
Also tended to make friends, rather than dinner, of cats for some reason.

We didn't really hunt with them, just that once you get a hill or creek
away from the farmhouse, carrying a weapon at all times was pretty much
expected. Usually you could get rid of a black with a siren whistle,
shoot in the air, or have a big dog get between you and the bear. Range
bulls were more dangerous by far...again the dog helped as the bulls
rarely cared about loud noises like a .357 in the air.

I've been working for a startup with exponential growth for the past
coupla years. Have only had a chance three times to even get over to
Nevada to let the ZJ play in the mud, poor thing. Hope to get up to
Kalispell within the next coupla years, most likely while Going to the
Sun has opened for a few weeks. All of my relatives and old mates have
either kicked the bucket or moved away, so mainly I just run thru for
the scenery and to check on some property so far out in the boonies it
is still pretty much worthless.
