Wolfdog Registries & Breed Clubs
There have been a number of wolfdog registries come and go over the past decades. Some made valid attempts at setting a breed standard for wolfdogs. Some were designed to verify lineages that would help to determine each dog's content however they were not capable of actually verifying a percentage. Today very few of the organizations are still in existence. It is quite the alphabet soup, but here is a list of a few of those wolfdog registries:
