This hybrid breed has been developed since the 1990s from a genetic project that involved the breeding between dogs and wolves, with the aim of carrying out a cultural rescue. Rescue occurred due to the Wolfdog’s importance in the regional culture.[1] In September 1999, the Federación Canófila Mexicana recognized the breed.[3]
