Hi,
there could be a little bit of truth in Margo's idea about the similarity of the Mutara-crosses and the Utonagan.
But the other way round.I personally don't think,although the Utonagan(I wouldn't call it a breed yet) doesn't look very wolfish ,was not only bred from the three breeds mentioned on the link above.
To me it is very obvious that at least one or even a few Saarloos-Wolfdogs (not CWDs) were used to create this type of dog.
But of course, as we know it from many other so called breeds,nobody would tell it.
If you look on the standart of the Utonagan you will see that it is nearly impossible to breed such a type of dog within 15 years out of GSDs,Huskies and Malamutes.
The other question is,why does anybody want to create a type of dog out these three working breeds.
Just for the looks,just for monetary reasons,just for an idea ?
Regards,
Michael
