Assessment comment

The comment(s) below were originally left at Talk:Saarloos wolfdog/Comments, and are posted here for posterity. Following several discussions in past years, these subpages are now deprecated. The comments may be irrelevant or outdated; if so, please feel free to remove this section.

Once again the page has been turned back into a state claiming this dog to be dangerous around children. If ANY one would read outside the wiki pedia site, they would find that it is exactly the opposite. I know many breeders of this dog, and this discription is a disgrace to the race. The animal is one of the sweetest of dogs, being very shy, and an excellent comapnion to kids. I am not going to change it a third time.`

The way to address the issue it to request a citation. Astronaut (talk) 14:39, 28 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Quality

Hello All, this page has 55 watchers, receives on average 235 visitors each day, came into being in 2004 but is still only rated at Start class in quality. In 2010, somebody called for citations to support the information provided. Is there not one editor our there who has an interest in this breed and who could help cite some of the listed information from somewhere? I would then be happy to remove the "citation requested" template and raise its current quality rating. Regards, William Harris • talk • 21:47, 5 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I have now done that, after nearly 3 years of waiting. William Harris • (talk) • 11:04, 7 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Saarloos Wolfdogs having the "most" wolf DNA of all breeds

The article claims that the breed has the highest wolf percentage of any breed. However, the 2016 source: "Ancient Wolf Genome Reveals an Early Divergence of Domestic Dog Ancestors and Admixture into High-Latitude Breeds" doesn't mention the breed in the article and the real "source" seems to be an image it has in the article. Furthermore, they tested only 48 dog breeds. It doesn't seem to mention the Czechoslovakian Wolfdog, which is an FCI recognised breed and typically tests as high, if not higher than Saarloos Wolfdogs on average. (The Saarloos has roughly 25% whilst the Czech has roughly 27%+). I can't find a proper breed register for Saarloos Wolfdogs, but www.wolfdog-database.com has recorded blood percentages (which are highly accurate, but theoretical and may have slight variations in reality). Given that the Saarloos is undergoing an out-crossing programme, the amount of wolf-content in the breed is likely to be further diluted. I dispute that the Saarloos Wolfdog has more content than any other breed, but even if that were true, the out-crossing programme is likely to change that very soon. The article itself already claims that the Saarloos Wolfdog has a "quarter wolf blood". A better source is required to make the claim that the Saarloos has more grey wolf content than any other breed and that source must also consider the Czechoslovakian Wolfdog, or else it can be disregarded since it is not comprehensive. 2600:6C44:6C00:383D:B080:25FB:A56D:2AAB (talk) 00:16, 4 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
