I have a friend that has a "dog". I forget what kind she said it was, but it was HUGE! Not wide or muscular, just VERY tall. about the size of a Great Dane but it looked identical to a wolf. Grey hair that is very wirey. Beautiful dog and extreamly sweet. Not to mention a great guard dog. She was telling me that someone was about to break into her house and the dog went and pounced on the door and started howling at the guys. They screamed "WOLF"!!! and dipped the fuk out. I say go for it.
