Some people think that dogs today are too domesticated to fight off wolves, and this is just not true. When people think of dogs today, they tend to think about the popular dog breeds we all know and love like golden retrievers, labs, huskies, and other fluffy cute pooches.
However, there are still plenty of strong working breeds around that are surprisingly strong and can fight off predators like wolves.
Now it’s time to discuss each of these amazing dogs in more detail and find out what exactly makes them capable of fighting off wolves.
