Identify this dog

growing up we had a half wolf/half German sheeperd that would routinely fight coyotes. one night we hear him going at it and dad puts the spotlight on him and we couldn't tell him from the other.  turns out dnr had released a few wolves to take care of the deer that were eating the trees they had the inmates plant. this was around 2002 in Lewis county

We always had story's the old timers could tell ya about wild dogs in northeast Washington , And it always starts off this dog ran off and bred with coyotes and the story always ended you see any wild dog up here hunting ,shoot em.

Well, I question the part about DNR releasing wolves. I seriously doubt that info got told or heard correctly. DNR would not do that.

It's a big enough stretch  to believe that WDFW has tranported and released wolves (I don't believe that for a second but can see why some may believe it with wdfw) but it seriously is laughable to believe DNR would have used wolves to reduce the deer population.  No way would they have done that.

  but it's just really not something that the Department of Natural Resources would have done.

I've heard stories of Weyerhaeuser dropping off wolves. While I don't buy into that story either, it is at least something that isn't beyond belief.
