If Neutered When Young How Likely Is A Wolf Hybrid To Revert To Wolf Behaviour?

My daughter has had a wolf hybrid [3/4 timber] since he was weaned. He was neutered at a young age. How likely is he to revert back to a wolfs behaviour?

    Unfortunately this is well nigh impossible to know.  Which is why crossing dogs back to wolves is not really recommended.  He will probably show signs when he reaches sexual maturity (even though he has been neutered) at about 9-12 months.  That is if he is going to at all.  You need to train and handle him consistently, and I would recommend the methods used by Cesar Milan - The Dog Whisperer.

    good answer again, but this also depends on Wolf heritage, the genetic percentage as well as the filial number, or generations away from pure. And it varies on the dog breeds used to cross. Wolf behavior is not easily understood by novice handlers. Many Northern Breeds have Wolfie behavior.
    If you neuter too early, his growth plates may not close properly and then you can end up with a huge animal.
