Why can't wolves be entered in a dog show?

Answer 1

First of all, a wolf is not a dog; neither is it a breed of dog. It is a completely separate species, although it is related to modern dogs. Second, wolves are wild animals, and even those raised in captivity could never be trusted to be handled as dogs are in a show ring, or to perform as show dogs do; wolves act on their own and do not look to people for direction. Third, and perhaps most importly, a wolf in a show ring would probably view the competing dogs as prey.
