I know this is off topic, but I can't ignore the mis-information you have just written above. Dogs are Canis lupis familiaris. Wolves are Canis lupis. Therefore, dog x wolf breedings are not true hybrids and the species of both dog and wolf are the same. The dog is a subspecies. For this reason, responsible people who work with animals that are part wolf and part dog, call them wolfdogs, and do not call them wolf hybrids.

Also, I don't know where you got your info about "lay(ing) down on them for a long time so they submit to your dominance". I think what you may be describing is an "alpha roll", which is a training technique that used to be done with dogs of any breed. The alpha roll involved rolling the dog over on its back and holding its throat with your hand for a SHORT time. Here is information about this training technique and why it is NOT PROPER to use it!

All Canis lupus subspecies are grey wolves, dogs included. In the dog's case, I consider its classification as a subspecies highly questionable and I personally wouldn't rank it higher than a form (Forma).

and if its in a controlled enviorment with best possable care and a responsable owner i dtill dont see whats all that wrong...

the very most responsible owner can have something happen that's beyond their control - like have a freak accident or die of a heart attack
the only true controlled environment would be one that is highly secure as a facility, where meticulous records are being kept, and more than one person knows exactly what's going on, or at least how to glean it from the records
I can't imagine that that applies to you, or most of us on the forum (not me, for sure)
so let's just do our best to protect the natural state of these animals and keep the god playing to the realm of inanimate objects
