Wolves of Amaretto

The wolf (Canis lupus), also known as the gray wolf or grey wolf, is a large canine native to Eurasia and North America. More than thirty subspecies of Canis lupus have been recognized, including the dog and dingo, though gray wolves, as popularly understood, only comprise naturally-occurring wild subspecies. The wolf is the largest extant member of the family Canidae, and is further distinguished from other Canis species by its less pointed ears and muzzle, as well as a shorter torso and a longer tail. The wolf is nonetheless related closely enough to smaller Canis species, such as the coyote and the golden jackal, to produce fertile hybrids with them. The wolf's fur is usually mottled white, brown, gray, and black, although subspecies in the arctic region may be nearly all white. 

The wolf is a social animal. Its populations consist of packs and lone wolves, most lone wolves being temporarily alone while they disperse from packs to form their own or join another one. The wolf's basic social unit is the nuclear family consisting of a mated pair accompanied by their offspring. 

Wolves communicate using vocalizations, body postures, scent, touch, and taste. The phases of the moon have no effect on wolf vocalization, and despite popular belief, wolves do not howl at the moon. Wolves howl to assemble the pack usually before and after hunts, to pass on an alarm particularly at a den site, to locate each other during a storm, while crossing unfamiliar territory, and to communicate across great distances. Wolf howls can under certain conditions be heard over areas of up to 130 km2 (50 sq mi). Other vocalizations include growls, barks and whines. Wolves do not bark as loudly or continuously as dogs do in confrontations, rather barking a few times and then retreating from a perceived danger. Aggressive or self-assertive wolves are characterized by their slow and deliberate movements, high body posture and raised hackles, while submissive ones carry their bodies low, flatten their fur, and lower their ears and tail.

Amaretto has its own take on the Wolf. The Black Beast Wolf, Grey Mist Wolf and White Snow Wolf. The Wolf is one set of many exciting possible Non-Starter coats that can come from breeding Starter Coats.

You can have a chance at one of these exciting Non-Starter coated Wolves by breeding any K-9 with a starter K-9 or by breeding together two starter K-9s.

In December 2017 Amaretto celebrated Christmas with Mr. and Mrs. Amaretto Christmas K-9s. If you bred these K-9s together you got a chance at getting a Red or Timber Wolf! These coats CAN be passed on.

The Wolf Eyes are Non-Starter eyes that can come from breeding a Wolf.

You can have a chance at one of these exciting Non-Starter Wolf eyes by breeding any Wolf with another K-9 or by breeding together two Wolves.

On Feb.11, 2020 Amaretto released Version 3.1, in this update there were 4 new Wolf eyes Zeus, Hera, Artemis, and Dionysus.

 Amaretto wolves don't have the typical K-9 barking sounds, they howl! If you are breeding a pack of them it can be quite impressive when they howl together lol, or you can turn off sounds if it gets too scary. Enjoy your wolves, and Happy Breeding ARF!
