Background
- Wolf Dog Resource (Site not updated since 2001)
- National Wolfdog Alliance
- Wolfhaven International
- Rabies - In 1999, the U.S. Department of Agriculture proposed to amend the Virus-Serum-Toxin Act regulations add a definition of the term "dog" to include all members of the species Canis Familiaris, Canis lupus, or any dog-wolf cross. Canis lupus is the same species that includes grey wolves . This would allow canine vaccines recommended for use in dogs to be recommended for use in wolves and dog-wolf crosses. The regulations, proposed on September 28, 1999 (Federal Register, (Volume 64, Number 187) [Page 52247-52248]) were withdrawn April 18 2001 [Federal Register, April 18, 2001 (Volume 66, Number 75)] [Proposed Rules] [Page 19899-19900]
