Meet the rare blue wolfdog pup who is the new star of social media

Introducing the newest social media sensation: Ocean, a six-month-old blue wolf dog. With more than 157 thousand followers on Instagram, this rarity has been delighting people with its unique appearance.

Her DNA is composed of 30% timber wolf, also known as gray wolf, typical species of Alaska, northern Michigan and other regions of the United States.

Ocean is the result of a mix involving German shepherd, Alaskan malamute and Siberian husky breeds. This combination resulted in its unusual color.

Although in the wild, wolfdogs can weigh up to 140 kilos or more, Ocean is smaller and enchants with its exotic beauty. Your case is really rare!

Anne Tanaka, owner of Ocean, revealed that her wolf dog still has a bit of growing up to do. The expectation is that Ocean will reach the size of a German shepherd, but with longer legs.

This information is impressive for animal lovers and fans of the

animal watch channel, hosted by Tanaka on YouTube. Sadly, wolves have been portrayed as frightening animals in movies and fairy tales. However, Ocean has proven to be delightful.

The animal attracts curious looks wherever it goes and is always the center of attention. With her affectionate and easy way to train, she gained more than 150,000 followers in just three months on social media.

Animal can be protected and considered endangered species

In the United States, there are no federal laws to regulate the ownership of wolf dogs, and these animals are considered domestic and therefore legal. However, it is important to point out that, depending on the percentage of wolf DNA present in the animal, it can be classified as a hybrid and be subject to regulations under the Endangered Species Act of 1973.

Despite this, some regions establish their own laws regarding the ownership of wolf dogs. Hawaii, Connecticut, New York, Louisiana, Wyoming and Illinois have completely banned this breed.

But if you want to have a multi-generational wolfdog in your home or property, legally in the US or Canada, and some parts of the UK, it's entirely possible.

It is important to note that “multigenerational” means that the animal is several generations removed from the original wolf. That is, it is no longer a direct cross with a wolf. In the United Kingdom, there are no restrictions on the presence of this breed in public places.
