Hello all, I am not a dog breeder but a screenwriter who is writing a tv show where there will be many appearances of these wolf like mystical doggos. In an ideal world I'd want to film with actual dogs there vs CGI dogs as it would look much better and be less of a strain on the budget.
However, I have no idea how long it might take to get the specific looking dogs I want and I have to be realistic to know if it's even possible to do.
I want basically black wolf looking doggos but with extremely long legs like the South American Maned Wolf. See my concept drawing here:
But... I don't want any actual wolf content in there as they'd be more difficult to train and work with.
I have done a little research into breeds that could potentially be used but I just have no clue what traits will be more dominant etc. The body shape is more important than the colour because there are dog safe fur/hair dyes out there.
Dog breeds to consider combining:
. Alaskan Noble Companion Dog
. Black German Shepherd
. Alaskan Malamute
. Belgian Malinois
. Utonagan Dog
. Northern Inuit Dog
. Norwegian Elkhound
. Carpathian Shepherd Dog
. Swedish Vallhund
. King Shepherd
. Native American Indian Dog
. Siberian Husky
. Shiba inu
. Eurasier
. Tamaskan Dog
. Blue Bay Shepherd
. Shiloh Shepherd
. Swedish Lapphund
. Dutch Shepherd Hollandse Herder
. Belgian Shepherd
. Belgian Tervuren Dog
. Border Collie
. Yakutian Lakia Dog
. Beauceron Dog
. Rhodesian Ridgeback
. Saluki
. Azawakh African Sighthound
. Long Haired Whippet
. Silken Windhound
. Black Greyhound
. Borzoi
It might be as simple as a mixture of the long body/long legged dogs + the Alaskan Noble Companion Dog + Maybe a black German Shepherd.
Key traits: Big pointy wolf-like ears, long elegant legs, long tail (not curled up, like a wolf), long to medium length double coat, yellow or brown eyes, (If possible) large paws
Basically I want a black wolf on stilts.
