![]() ![]() Luckily, you have us to help you decide if this brand-new hybrid breed is a good match for your home. This means you won’t find much information about them on the Internet. ![]() Vicki Spencer is still actively trying to breed them towards an even more wolf-like appearance. The “Bay” in their name came about because they were developed in the Palm Bay, Florida, area at Southern Breeze Kennels.īecause it’s a very new breed-in fact, there’s an argument that it isn’t a full breed yet-the look of the breed may change over time, and it’s possible to get “throwback” Shepherds in Blue Bay litters. They’re immediately noticeable for that same “blue” coat (a term for specific rich grays in the dog world) and pale eyes. They’re a cross between the more common (although still rather rare) Blue German Shepherd variant and wolfdog hybrids with blue coats. For the last two decades, she’s been perfecting this unique new breed, hoping to create a wolf-like dog with a dog’s stable temperament, loyalty, and human-focused nature.Īctual wolfdogs often get a lot of stigma from the community and vets alike, so she hopes to keep the unique wolf look but with “clean” genes that will disassociate from that stigma. The Blue Bay Shepherd is one such sub-breed, created by Vicki Spencer. We’ve seen this with the Lycan Shepherd recently as well, with a similar aim-a wolf look, without the stigma and worry of wolf genes. It should never be done willy-nilly, however, and is best done very carefully and selectively over the years by dedicated breeders with the knowledge and ethics to create a healthy, happy dog. The Labradoodle is a famous modern breed that was created this way, and the Blue Bay Shepherd doesn’t have different origins. We’ve been doing it for millennia, helping to create dogs with the look, working drive, or temperament we want. Crossbreeding canines to create new sub-breeds and variants is not a new idea. ![]()
