Yes, wolves and domestic dogs can breed and produce fertile offspring.
A wolfdog is a canine produced by the mating of a domestic dog (Canis familiaris) with a gray wolf (Canis lupus), eastern wolf (Canis lycaon), red wolf (Canis rufus), or Ethiopian wolf (Canis simensis) to produce a hybrid.
Can foxes and dogs make babies? Short answer: no, they can't. They simply don't have compatible parts.
A wolf/dog hybrid is fertile and is in fact not a hybrid at all because wolves and dogs are exactly the same species. The dog is now known scientifically as Canis Lupus Familiaris and not just Canis Familiaris (as it is in older textbooks) in recognition of this fact.
In fact, such human-animal hybrids are often referred to as “chimeras”.
Foxes and wolves may both be in the same broad canine family, but they cannot interbreed and have very little in common.
But creating hybrids of animals that are very genetically distinct from each other—such as a dog and a cat—is scientifically impossible, as is one species giving birth to an entirely different one.
Do they mate with one another? People often speculate as to the frequency of coyote-dog hybrids, or coydogs, in urban settings. Coyotes and dogs are related, and they are biologically capable of producing hybrid litters. Coydogs have been raised in captivity.
The African golden wolf (Canis lupaster) or African wolf is a canine native to North Africa, West Africa, the Sahel, northern East Africa, and the Horn of Africa. It is the descendant of a genetically admixed canid of 72% gray wolf (Canis lupus) and 28% Ethiopian wolf (Canis simensis) ancestry.
Named for his large, magical ears, Dobby is a Chihuahua-rat terrier mixed breed pooch who was adopted from Hearts & Bones Rescue by his paw-rents Dave and Deb.
While they may share a common ancestor, huskies and wolves represent distinct species. That said, many people often confuse these canines for one another due to their coloring, shape, and “wolfish” appearance.
Alaskan malamute
This arctic breed is made for pulling heavy loads of cargo and has a thick, pale coat. The malamute is the most wolf-like dog when it comes to appearance. These dogs are loyal and great with people. They are also clever, hard workers and are used to harsh weather conditions, just like actual wolves.
#1: Northwestern Wolf
The Northwestern wolf (Canis lupus occidentalis) is known by many names, including the Mackenzie Valley wolf, Canadian timber wolf, and Alaskan timber wolf.
Do pets have a sixth sense that enables them to detect pregnancy before humans do? The answer, according to animal behavior specialists, is yes: pets probably can sense pregnancy. But it's not due to a sixth sense—it's their excellent sense of smell.
Even if you got a very confused cat to mate with an equally confused bunny, their genes are incompatible so you won't get offspring. Closely related species can hybridize (e.g. horses and donkeys produce mules) but cats and rabbits are too distantly related.
The most common interspecies breeds are the Bengal (domestic cat x Asian leopard cat [ALC], Prionailurus bengalensis), Savannah (Domestic cat x African serval, Profelis serval), and Chausie (Domestic cat x Jungle cat, Felis chaus).
Since the early days of European settlement of Australia, domestic dogs have been interbreeding with 'pure' dingoes to create hybrids or crossbreds.
There are genetic tests available. Those tests look at 3-4 genetic markers, depending on whether it is a male or female. According to the testing lab, what the test can tell the owner is whether there has been wild wolf DNA in that domestic dog's lineage in the past three generations.
The hyena conceives by a wolf and brings forth Onolysum. Evidence for the occurrence of hyena hybrids is sparse, as the reader will judge from the information below. Crocuta crocuta [Spotted Hyaena] Lönnberg (1908) treated two forms of hyena as distinct species under two distinct scientific names.
Jackals are true members of the dog family and can actually interbreed with both domestic dogs and wolves.
All domestic dog breeds are able to interbreed to give birth to reproductively viable offspring. This is because their genomes remain relatively unchanged, despite their physical characteristics appearing so different.
