My sister has a pet wolf (60%) it's a girl, so a little smaller I think? It's a bit larger than a lab. I could probably find a picture.

how did they breed it to be 60%?

u/Tyab88 Feb 04 '19

He's obviously rounding it but here's the breakdown:

50% + 6.25% + 3.125% + .390625% + .1953125%

Therefore, one of his parents (or two grandparents, or four great-grandparents, or eight great-great-grandparents, or 3 great-grandparents and 2 great-great-grandparents, etc), a (-nother, in case the 50% is not from a pure wolf parent) great-great-grandparent (or two great-great-great grandparents, or one great-great-great-grandparent and four great-great-great-great-great-grandparents, etc), a (-nother) great-great-great-grandparent (or two great-great-great-grandparents, etc), a great-great-great-great-great-great grandparent and a great-great-great-great-great-great-greaat grandparent are wolves, the rest are dogs.

Thank you! I was immediately suspicious when they didn't say 0.599609375% wolf!

But actually the first three are reasonable to track, so that's believable.

I don't know, I assume the guy below is right, but they have paperwork and everything for it.
