Or as Theodore Roosevelt one put it
Quote:A wolf is a terrible fighter. He will decimate a pack of hounds by rapid snaps with his giant jaws while suffering little damage himself; nor are the ordinary big dogs, supposed to be fighting dogs, able to tackle him without special training. I have known one wolf to kill a bulldogwhich had rushed at it with a single snap, while another which had entered the yard of a Montana ranch house slew in quick succession both of the large mastiffs by which it was assailed. The immense agility and ferocity of the wild beast, the terrible snap of his long-toothed jaws, and the admirable training in which he always is, give him a great advantage over fat, small-toothed, smooth-skinned dogs, even though they are nominally supposed to belong to the fighting classes. In the way that bench competitions are arranged nowadays this is but natural, as there is no temptation to produce a worthy class of fighting dog when the rewards are given upon technical points wholly unconnected with the dog's usefulness. A prize-winning mastiff or bulldog may be almost useless for the only purposes for which his kind is ever useful at all. A mastiff, if properly trained and of sufficient size, might possibly be able to meet a young or undersized Texas wolf; but I have never seen a dog of this variety which I would esteem a match single-handed for one of the huge timber wolves of western Montana. Even if the dog was the heavier of the two, his teeth and claws would be very much smaller and weaker and his hide less tough.Hunting the Grisly and Other Sketches:

Quote:Wolves are independent and better problem solvers - Video shows a small group of wolves working together, and single dog outsmarts them.I sighted studies that prove this one random video of a dog getting lucky does not refute this.
Quote:Even primitive dog breeds (more “wolf like” dogs) seem to be less adept at solving problems and more inclined to look towards a human for help.
Quote:Wolves have around 33% more gray matter than a comparably sized domestic dog. In general, I’ve witnessed the ability among wolves and high content wolfdogs to solve problems quickly that stymy dogs until they give up.https://www.huffingtonpost.com/quora/are...94770.html
Both dogs and wolves can be domesticated. If you take a wolf and a dog of similar size, the wolves will generally submit to the dog. Take a dog like a Caucasian Shepherd, and it's very unlikely that a pack of wolves will make an attempt to get anywhere near it. There is a reason mankind has been preferable to domesticating dogs more so than wolves. Wolves can be great animals though. It's in their nature to be social and wild wolves with sometimes try to bond with dogs and humans if they notice them close by, even if it's just wanting to play.
