Solid Black Coyote (Wolf?)

[Iraqvetwpb]

I saw a black wolf when I was growing up. Yes, a wolf, not a coyote, There is a huge distinction between the 2. After that I found out that there is someone local that has wolf breeds, so maybe it was one of his that got loose.

I know all the stories that there haven't been wolves here for 100 years...blah blah...I also know that there are parts of Pa that are untouched and it's very possible some still exist.

This person you know who has wolf breeds, do you know if he has wolf/Huskey mixs? We own a Wolf/Huskey mix and she is in heat, thinking of breeding her but only if we can fine a male who markings match hers or is close to hers.

PENNSYLVANIA

Wolves and Wolf Hybrids may be possessed if they are purchased or received from any lawful sources from within or without the state and if the owner first secures an Exotic Wildlife Possession Permit from the Pennsylvania Fish and Game Commission. Inspection by the Commission is required to insure that minimum requirements for secure and humane housing conditions are met. "Minimum pen requirements for a single animal are 15' length by 8' width by 6' height covered at the top to prevent escape. For a pair, double the cage length. For each additional animal - after 2 add 10' to the cage length. A secluded den area 4'W x 4'L is required for a single animal. Add 3' in length for an additional animal."
"Records shall be maintained of acquisitions and disposals of exotic wildlife as well as exotic wildlife born on the premises. Records shall be in ink, written in English and include the full name and address of the person with whom a transaction is conducted. Records shall be available for inspection by Commission personnel at reasonable hours. Entries shall be made on the day of transaction."
