Ok, one more comment before we stop hijacking lol.

I think that if people would breed dogs with wolves for health purposes, then that would be far more acceptable. At this point, the only reason they are being bred is so people can have a "pet wolf", which I'm sure you'd agree is unfair to the animal. If a dedicated individual with the knowledge necessary could actually take the time and breed them carefully to create a domestic animal with less health problems than the current ones, then that actually woulnd't be a bad idea.

I can't remember the country, but one person actually did something similar with coyotes. They bred them with select breeds of dogs to create an ultimate drug and explosive detecting dog. A dog who's sense of smell was greater than any current domestic dogs and who had the independance to do the job on their own so a handler wouldn't have to be constantly pointing the dog around. The dogs are property of the airport and roam about freely, finding what they were trained to find.
