You must have heard of "wolfdogs" before, but who hasn't? Still, we can't resist their beautifulness and gorgeous look, so we'll gladly add a little more fact about the original source of this phrase and its magnificent members.

When you hear their common name, it may sound like it comes from a fairy tale. But that is not far from the truth, considering they really look like magical beasts.

It's known that wolves and dogs are members of the same family. Wolves and large dogs usually have similar appearances, so it can be quite challenging to distinguish many wolf-like dogs from actual wolves.

Most wolf-like dog breeds are hybrids, meaning they are a mix of both dogs and wolves and have combined characteristics. But if you were wondering where those similarities come from, we can tell you that it's not by chance but by crossbreeding.

Although crossbreeding is usually performed for scientific reasons, it doesn't exclude the possibility it can happen naturally, too. You are probably already thinking about dog breeds that look like wolves, but let us remind you of some: Northern Inuit dogs, Swedish Vallhund, Belgian Tervuren, Alaskan Malamute, or Siberian Huskie.

We can talk about these cuties indefinitely, but to cut a long story short, let's enjoy their magnificent appearance in the pawsome collection below.
