• A domestic animal under US Code 9 CFR Section 1.1 • “Crosses between wild animal species and domestic animals, such as dogs and wolves or buffalo and domestic cattle, are considered to be domestic animals.” • “Dog means any live or dead dog (Canis familiaris) or any dog-hybrid cross.” (dog-hybrid means direct offspring of a wolf) • A dog with more recent (DNA detectable) wolf ancestry than other dog breeds • All Lupine Grove canines are wolfdogs but not wolf-hybrids as there hasn’t been a pure wolf used in many decades • A dog that is typically a mix of Husky, Malamute, German Shepherd, and gray wolf • A dog that’s been selectively-bred by humans to retain the wolf look with a more docile temperament • A type of dog that is also known as Lupine dog, Indian dog, Eskimo dog, Native American dog, Racing Husky, Wolfhound, or Wolf Hybrid • AKC recognizes Sarloos Wolfhound and Czechoslovakian Wolfdog as official US dog breeds • FCI recognizes all wolfdogs under the label of Calupoh Dog • Primitive Russian guarding dogs like Caucasian Mountain Dogs, Russian Bear Dogs, Baskhan (Karachay) Pariy, and Caucasian Ovcharkas also show recent wolf ancestry • A dog that has not had most of its family-oriented wiring replaced with ‘please human owner’ through 40,000+ years of selective breeding to work for us • A type of dog that represents Man’s earliest versions of domesticated dogs Why is this type education needed? • There is nowhere else in the world to learn how to raise this type of dog to be happy and safe • There are many organizations that educate about wolves in the wild and a few that educate about wolves in captivity • There are many organizations that educate about more-domesticated dogs • Without education, too many of these dogs are purchased by people who love the appearance but expect the exact same level of obedience as a more-domesticated dog • In reality, they should expect the same level of obedience humans get from cats! • By the time they learn their expectations were wrong, these EXTREMELY sensitive dogs are often ruined and will never fully trust humans • Inadequate containment is a big problem with this type dog because their appearance means they can NEVER run loose, it’s a public relations disaster • Many purchase the dog without understanding the type of containment required for a large, strong, and highly intelligent canines • Lupine Grove containment is an exemplar in the wolfdog community and a cornerstone of our education program • Many people mentally associate wolf-like appearance with aggression but in domestic settings, these dogs are extremely timid and shy • Proactive socialization and desensitization are critical for them to enjoy the human world • Expectation management is key to everyone’s happiness, neophobia (fear of anything new or strange) cannot be ‘trained out’ of dogs • Many people mistakenly believe these dogs are confused or missing the wild • Just like humans, dogs learn normal based on the environment they actually experience, not from pre-wired ideas about normal • The bond between humans and dogs is unique across all species and by understanding the mind of man’s earliest dogs, what we call wolfdogs today, we can better conceptualize how our paths merged long ago to result in today’s dogs Lupine Grove Potential Revenue Streams • Wolfdog education classes (on site) • Introduction • Advanced • Certification • Lupine Grove University • Online Wolfdog education • Canine Adventures • Wolfdog walks (on and off site) • Educational seminars (off site) • Private wooded walking trail rental • Photography seminars • Canine domestication research grants Lupine Grove Proposed Wolfdog Education Introductory Class: $200 Advanced Class: $200 Competency and Certification Testing: $100 • Introduction of Lupine Grove and safety protocols • Wolfdog Care • Written and oral testing • What is a Wolfdog?

    Epidemiology and One Health: Collaborative Research Investigating Public Health Challenges Related to Canines in Rural, Urban, and Remote Communities in Canada by Danielle Arlaine Julien A Thesis presented to The University of Guelph In partial fulfilment of requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Population Medicine Guelph, Ontario, Canada © Danielle Arlaine Julien, June 2020 ABSTRACT EPIDEMIOLOGY AND ONE HEALTH: COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH INVESTIGATING PUBLIC HEALTH CHALLENGES RELATED TO CANINES IN RURAL, URBAN, AND REMOTE COMMUNITIES IN CANADA Danielle Arlaine Julien Advisor(s): University of Guelph, 2020 Dr. Jan M. Sargeant Dr. Sherilee L. Harper (Co-Advisor) This thesis is an investigation of public health challenges related to dogs in rural and urban communities in southern Ontario, and in remote Iqaluit, Nunavut, Canada, using cross- sectional observational studies. First, we conducted a scoping review of canine zoonotic and vectorborne research in North American countries, categorized by the Inequality-adjusted Human Development Index (IHDI). Most research was conducted in “very high” and “high” IHDI countries. Second, the prevalence of Giardia spp. and Cryptosporidium spp. were investigated in dogs in Iqaluit, Nunavut. Using Ecohealth and One Health approaches, feces were collected from three dog populations (sled (n=79), shelter (n=111), and community dogs (n=104)). The fecal prevalence of at least one parasite when one sample was chosen at random for all dogs was 8.16% (95% CI: 5.52-11.92), and of Giardia spp., and Cryptosporidium spp. was 4.42% (95% CI: 2.58-7.49) and 6.12% (95% CI: 3.88-9.53), respectively. We identified Giardia intestinalis, zoonotic assemblage B (n=2), and species-specific D (n=3) and E (n=1); and 5 samples containing Cryptosporidium canis.

    Public Health Ethics and a Status for Pets As Person-Things: Revisiting the Place of Animals in Urbanized Societies

    Postprint This is a pre-copyedited, author-produced PDF of an article accepted for publication in Journal of Bioethical Inquiry following peer review. The definitive publisher-authenticated version [Rock M, & Degeling C. Public Health Ethics and a Status for Pets as Person-Things: Revisiting the Place of Animals in Urbanized Societies. Journal of Bioethical Inquiry.

Broader determinants of population health have received less attention, although this situation is rapidly changing. Against this backdrop, our specific contribution to the literature on ethics and law vis-à-vis promoting population health is to open up the ubiquitous presence of pets within cities and towns for further discussion. An expanding body of research suggests that pet animals are deeply relevant to people’s health (negatively and positively). Pet bylaws adopted by town and city councils have largely escaped notice, yet they are meaningful to consider in relation to everyday practices, social norms, and cultural values, and thus in relation to population health. Nevertheless, not least because they pivot on defining pets as private property belonging to individual people, pet bylaws raise emotionally charged ethical issues that have yet to be tackled in any of the health research on pet ownership.

    Genomic Approaches to Identify Hybrids and Estimate Admixture

    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Genomic approaches to identify hybrids and estimate admixture times in European wildcat Received: 1 November 2018 Accepted: 25 July 2019 populations Published: xx xx xxxx Federica Mattucci1, Marco Galaverni2, Leslie A. Lyons3, Paulo C. Alves 4,5,6, Ettore Randi7,8, Edoardo Velli1, Luca Pagani9,10 & Romolo Caniglia1 The survival of indigenous European wildcat (Felis silvestris silvestris) populations can be locally threatened by introgressive hybridization with free-ranging domestic cats. Identifying pure wildcats and investigating the ancestry of admixed individuals becomes thus a conservation priority. We analyzed 63k cat Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) with multivariate, Bayesian and gene-search tools to better evaluate admixture levels between domestic and wild cats collected in Europe, timing and ancestry proportions of their hybrids and backcrosses, and track the origin (wild or domestic) of the genomic blocks carried by admixed cats, also looking for possible deviations from neutrality in their inheritance patterns. Small domestic ancestry blocks were detected in the genomes of most admixed cats, which likely originated from hybridization events occurring from 6 to 22 generations in the past. We identifed about 1,900 outlier coding genes with excess of wild or domestic ancestry compared to random expectations in the admixed individuals. More than 600 outlier genes were signifcantly enriched for Gene Ontology (GO) categories mainly related to social behavior, functional and metabolic adaptive processes (wild-like genes), involved in cognition and neural crest development (domestic- like genes), or associated with immune system functions and lipid metabolism (parental-like genes). These kinds of genomic ancestry analyses could be reliably applied to unravel the admixture dynamics in European wildcats, as well as in other hybridizing populations, in order to design more efcient conservation plans.
