The gigantic and loyal Dire Wolf of George R.R. Martin’s epic fantasy Game of Thrones has sparked much public interests in perhaps raising a dire wolf of one's own. Unfortunately, dire wolves are extinct.
What about the relative of the
dire wolf... the wolf? Not a good idea.
Domestic-bred wolves are described by owners as unruly in manors and fearful, so they won't be useful in dire situations.
The same goes for wolf-dogs who are not as loyal as you might think, they are aloof to humans and independent, described as more cat like.
Neither is as large as the enhanced dire wolf, they get to be around 80-110 lbs.
But.. you may want to consider the the animals being bred to resemble the Game of Thrones dire wolves, the Alsatian mix.
Please Note: THE "DIRE WOLF" Alastian mix dogs ARE NOT WOLFDOGS
From the Dire Wolf Project site: NO WOLF OR WOLF-DOG CROSS OF ANY PERCENTAGE.... OR DOG WITH RECENT ANCESTRY WILL BE USED TO CREATE DIRE "WOLVES"; that includes the Czechoslovakian Wolfdog, the Saarloos Wolfhound, Alaskan Noble Companion Dog, Lupo Italiano, Kunming Wolfdog, and the Japanese Wolfdog.
