Volkosob

Volkosob, a large wolfdog with a thick gray coat standing alert in a snowy field.

Volkosobs are the product of a very specific breeding program in Russia, designed to create the ultimate border guardian. They combine the trainability and loyalty of the German Shepherd with the strength and resilience of the Caspian Steppe Wolf. This careful selection has resulted in a dog that’s more predictable and manageable than a high-content wolfdog, while still retaining impressive wolf-like traits.

If you’re looking for a companion that embodies the wild spirit but thrives in a structured environment, the Volkosob might be the perfect match. However, these guardians require experienced owners who can provide extensive training, socialization, and mental stimulation.
