WOLVES

Tamed wolves were once used for hunting, alongside hounds.
It is said that the Prince of Condé and the Baron of Larinty owned packs of wolves that hunted deer like bloodhounds. These wild beasts' keen sense of smell was remarkable, as was their silent way of following the trail.

This made it possible to crossbreed with dogs. Curiously, at that time, wolves were more easily domesticated than foxes.
These hybrids are the famous lupoïdes. They have always been known in Normandy, especially where the famous breed of black wolves was formed. These crossbreeds had returned to a wild state and become so dangerous since they combined the ferocity of the wolf with the boldness of the dog.

These facts are not without interest today. We're all familiar with the trend for Alsatian wolves, German Shepherd dogs that closely resemble wolves. These beautiful dogs are widespread throughout our countryside, and it's said that the last wolves remaining in our woods have become much bolder and much more dangerous since these luxury dogs began parading in noble castles.
