Question

Help answer this question below.

I suspect my dog has some wolf (or wild dog) close in her blood line. She is loving and loyal to me, but no matter how much I try to socialize her she does not like other people. Are there any signs or test I can go by to see if she has wild dog in her?

    I wouldn't waste money on tests, most dogs are from the ''wild dog'' bloodline in the first place.
    Gonna ask you a wild question here: Are you a social person yourself? cause dogs pick up really quick.
    The best you can do, is keep trying to socialize her, maybe also invite friends to your home, its the dog's home too. Just keep trying perserverance goes a long way....

    A DNA test would tell you. But I don't know how expensive they are.

    the best thing to do is have new people = great things. invite friends over and have it planned before hand so that they can pick up some super-tasty treat from right outside the door. Have the person give the treat to the dog upon entering. no need for attention, praise, contact, etc. just have the friend give your dog the treat (and make it good! like chicken or cheese). repeat a million times. repeat at the park or other places. your dog will come out of her shell!
