Developing generations.

It is a huge satisfaction to see this "puppies" develop. 10 months old and already considerably larger than the average Saarloos-dog. Long upper arms, long metacarpus and metatarsus. A full extension of their bodies and limbs. I want to recreate the large, massive dog who trots as light and swift as a fox. It seems that this Nord-litter is a good step in the right direction. Photo is taken by Christel van Landeghem. From left to right: Nord-Valpar, Nord-Tuur and Nord-Nagaya.

The Trot.

A good bending of the knee-joint. A long stroke of the front limbs. A springy touch to the ground. The ability to flex the thighbone. In short: a balanced and dynamic trot.

My goal with the Nord-litter and the essence of the wolfdogs walk can be seen on this pictures. The last photo is of Valpar and is shot by Vivi and Roy Holtman. The first picture in black and white is a long time favorite of mine; Macho (photo by Nanouk Immers). The other pictures are male dogs from Nordenden.

A wolf cub and a wolfdog puppy

The wolf cub and the wolfdog puppy are both photographed at the age of five weeks. Similar socialization and care are needed to make them develop into friendly and happy animals that can interact with humans. The adult wolfdog can run off-leash with his owner, while the adult wolf must be kept on a chain when taken out of his fence.
