I have extensive experience in K9 Training.. Advanced obedience, Agility, Scent/ Tracking & Bite work .. I trained out on Long Island in the mid- late `90`s at a K9 Kennel in which I was fortunate enough to have access to the most exotic breeds... Cane Corso, Argentine Dogo, APBT, & of course the Super Charged working dogs from Europe.. Czech Shepherds, Dutch Shepherd & our working dog breed of choice.. the Belgian Malinois... These were the type of dogs that if you were not paying attention & casually holding a leash & they decided to bolt.. the leash would take the skin right off the palm of your hands.. which I`d seen happen.
I`d taken bites from all these breeds.. The Dogo punctured me thru the suit, APBT pinched my muscle tissue up to a "tent" & black n blued me from my ankle to my butt cheek.. a Rottweiler crushed a barrel sleeve, etc.. so I know the power that these working dogs posses..
You really can`t compare a domesticated to semi domesticated working breed to a wild animal in the Wolf that is forced to hunt/ kill food daily, protect his pack from rivals/ predators & fight for breeding rights on a regular basis... these are animals that are no stranger to fighting for survival on a regular basis. A Wolfs teeth is accustomed to tearing tissue, crushing bone, locating vulnerable areas in the under belly/ soft tissue, forced to problem solve is what makes them a Top Predator & why they would come out on top vs a domesticated dog. That said, A Wolf would do anything to avoid a confrontation with a Dog & people as they are extremely shy & don`t enjoy confrontation, unless it is to feed the pack/ themselves.
Wolves are amazing animals that are sadly misunderstood & mistakenly eradicated from the US landscape.. they are an essential part of the ecosystem.. which is why they were reintroduced to places like Yellow Stone.
