Zawistowski, PhD, executive vice president and science advisor for the ASPCA. "I've seen ads for animals that are '98 percent pure wolf,' but these are bogus numbers," he says. "These claims are based on the misguided belief that genes blend like food coloring: if you take half red and half blue, you get a nice, even purple." In reality, he says, genes "blend" more like marbles. Say you have a dog, represented by 20 red marbles, and a wolf, represented by 20 blue ones. If you breed the two,

5 you'll get 10 marbles from each parent, so you'll have half of each color; this is an F1 (Filial 1, or first filial generation) cross. But in subsequent generations, you'll get a random assortment of red and blue from each parent. So the individual offspring of two F1, 50/50 wolfdogs (an F2 cross, a generation removed from full wolf) could have anywhere from threequarters wolf genes and one-quarter dog genes to three-quarters dog and one-quarter wolf yet all will be considered one-half wolf.
