Background information on Saarloos and Inuit hybrid wolf lookalike

dogs and pups:

Most Inuit dog pups originate from the same blood lines culminating, today, as a number of wolf lookalike breed societies, notably: British Inuit, Northern Inuit, Tamaskan and Utonagan - whom all share a common Northern Inuit ancestry.  Northern Inuit dogs were originally derived from selectively crossing three established dog breeds: Malamute, Husky and Alsatian (German Shepherd Dog, or GSD for short).

It should be noted that Northern Inuit dog pups are separate and distinct from wolfdog breeds such as the Czechoslovakian Wolf Dog (CsV) or Saarloos, and have no recent wolf blood content in their breeding. Anyone considering adopting a Saarloos puppy should go the cry-wolf Saarloos page where much background information to the Saarloos breed is published. 

Amaruq Kennels Saarloos and Inuit hybrid wolflook alike puppies are produced by the careful selection and breeding of Northern or hybrid Inuits with pedigree Saarloos.  The resultant hybridisation produces puppies of exceptional health, vitality, temperament and an exceptionally authentic wolf appearance.

Wolf lookalike breeds and their human companions:

Many Inuit dog pups are adopted by people whom companion, or formerly have companioned, a German Shepherd Dog.  Unfortunately, all too commonly GSD dogs suffer with a number of hereditary ailments.  However, these GSD hereditary ailments are not shared with the wolf lookalike breeds with the possible exception of hip displacia.  Accordingly, all responsible breeders of Inuit dog pups will only breed from hip X-rayed parents with an acceptably low hip ‘score’ (low score being good and high score bad). It is most important, therefore, to always enquire as to the respective hip scores of your prospective Inuit dog pups parents.  More information on common congenital health problems associated with the GSD breed can be found on the cry-wolf German Shepherds page.

First hand experience with any of the more active, large and/or working dog breeds ie. Alsatian (GSD), Belgian Shepherd, Dalmatian, Doberman Pinscher, Rottweiler, Spaniel, Retriever, Labrador, Pointer, Akita, Malamute, Husky, Tervuren or Malinois is ideal when considering undertaking a relationship with a hybrid Saarloos/Inuit dog pup.  None of the wolf lookalike breeds are recommended to first time adopters, due to their inherent pack instinct.  Pack leadership, which must be quietly exhibited by the human ‘pack member’ at all times, is invariably a skill that can only be acquired over time.  Inuit dog pups are highly intelligent and will quickly discern whether their human companion has the requisite leadership skills.  It is paramount that the human pack member has the capability to quietly lead his/her pack in order to afford the Inuit dog pups the security they require for their contented well being.
