Good Points

They have been found to have excellent temperaments and have lived with children of all ages, some with major disablities. We have a registered PAT dog also, who appeared at Crufts recently. They are a good size, not too big, not too small and have excellent health generally.

Bad Points

They are highly intelligent...which can be good or bad depending on how good the owner is!

General Comments

I have had the pleasure of spending a lot of time with Utonagan, who are both beautiful and gentle. They are the kind of dog that you cannot take for a short walk, because everyone wants to pet them! They are bred to look like wolves, but have NO wolf content whatsoever. They are adaptable and many live in a one+ dog household.
They are great for all kinds of families and could do a lot of assistence jobs, one is already a PAT dog, who knows whats next?

  1. Insomnia Rank: Lance Corporal on 3rd Jun 2005

    The Utonagan has been selectively bred to look as close to the Canadian Timber Wolf as possible, with an exlemplary temperament. The Utonagan has been bred exclusively in England since the 1980's by a breeder with a vision of a wonderful new breed that harked back to earlier days. The Utonagan looks as much like a wolf as we can achieve without actually containing any wolf content, other than the percentage in all breeds of Canis familiaris. Utonagan, as with all new breeds, started out as a cross, we took the Alaskan Malamute, Siberian Husky and German Shepherd Dog, which we thought would best achieve the results required. As you can see, we managed to get a dog, which looks immensly like a wolf, and very much like the wolf-dogs that are becoming popular, but without the need for a Dangerous Animals Licence. Utonagan are a rare breed and have not yet managed to attain Kennel Club recognision, although that is one of the aims of the society (www.utonagan.com). However we were able to get a Utonagan to crufts this year, which is a great achievement. Mahtal Iskote @ Carrara appeared in the Good Citizens' ring, in the PAT Pet Parade (www.petsastherapy.org.uk) on Friday 11th March 2005. We hope that this will create more interest in this fabulous breed. With Utonagan being such a rare breed of course there are some unscrupulous people out there breeding for money and not worrying about health issues, or breeding what they are calling Utonagan but are not. In order to combat this the Utonagan Society has placed strict breeding rules in place and will not register any dogs that do not conform. We advise anyone interested in Utonagan to contact the Utonagan Society to verify the autheticity of any litter found. When looking for a puppy please visit as many breeders as possible before deciding on a pup. All breeders associated with the society will provide backup and take the dog back if there is a problem, if they are not able to a Utonagan Rescue has been set up in conjunction with the society, just in case.

Utonagan are a very intelligent breed, home bred and handeled from an early age. We encourage all breeders and new owners to feed raw food as we have found that it produces a healthier dog. We also encourage the use of Jan Fennells' (The Dog Listener) method of training, and Jan herself, owns two dogs and is president of the society. The temperament of these dogs is so sound, that the society has been invited to work in association with Pets as Therapy, and leaflets about registering to be a PAT dog are set to be given out with every pedigree from the beginning of April 2005. Should any owner have any questions or worries about their dog or bitch, the Utonagan Society is there to help. By Nadia Carlyle of Carrara Utonagan
