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.

Why should wolves be allowed in dog shows?

They should not: wolves are not dogs, though they are closely related. But so are foxes, coyotes, and other wild canines. Wolves, however, are not domesticated and cannot be trained like dogs, or fully tamed. In any case, a dog show typically is one in which you show off the breed characteristics of your animal (not relevant for wolves, so no one is selectively breeding wolves for breed characteristics) or their training (i.e., in agility competitions, but no one uses wolves for these either). Therefore, it would not make sense.
