First-generation poodle-wolf hybrids, or “puwos”, bred by Erik Zimen as part of his behavioral study between wolves and dogs.

“When Zimen recrossed poodle-wolves (“puwos”) together, these
second-generation hybrids came in a mixed assortment of behavioral
types. Some were timid about approaching humans but were very
affectionate when they did; others were tame and not disposed to flee
from novelties but were emotionally aloof.”

Thank you celestial-nightlight for linking me to this! This is a really good example of how wolfdogs that are bred with very non ”wolfy” breeds, like poodles, still clearly show their wolf traits.

For anon and spaceisprettycool

ok but these wolfdogs look exactly like I imagine Black Dogs looking like.
