Hey Elli!
Right on! I have big,bad, beautiful woof. Her name is Emma and I am her slave. My whole lifestyle is structured around her comfort and happiness because if she is not comfortable and happy there is no way I can be. We go to extraordinary measures to make sure containment and exercise are sufficient. There is absolutely no way she can run loose or be allowed to escape. She is lightening fast and can leap tall buildings with ease. Yes she is a lethal weapon to other animals, and extremely wary of people she does not know. She would prefer to run away than encounter a stranger.
I did not set out to have a woof. She came to me through a rescue and I fostered her. Not too many woof-worthy people came forward to adopt, so 6 years later, she's still with me. At this point I could NOT part with her. We have an extraordinary bond that cannot be attained with a regular dog. Its kind of hard to even put into words, but its so much more than a domesticated canine. I know this because I have other dogs as well and Emma is absolutely different.
She is highly intelligent and instinctive beyond belief. Her lovely voice sings proudly when she hears a siren. To watch her play is like a symphony, so graceful and athletic.
Its true that she would not make a good family pet, such as Joe Labrador or Retriever, but she is not a dog. That does not mean she doesn't deserve to live her life. I know there are woof-worthy people like me out here. I beleive the SPCA is copping out by their "kill anybody who maybe even remotely close to woof lineage" policy.
They are not dogs and shouldn't be treated as such, they are magnificent creatures who need to be understood on their own fabulous merits. They can't help being born in captivity. All the more reason that the powers that be should be investigating backyard breeders and not allowing unlicensed canine breeding of any type.
I do not condone the breeding of woofs or hybrids, but I will always help to rescue if at all possible. I was involved in 2 other woof rescues that the SPCA had been called for. These guys were running loose and uncatchable. The SPCA response was "We won't catch them, but we will shoot them". Thankfully the people could not accept this and went to other measures to capture these handsome boys. They have both been successfully adopted to people who can fully appreciate the great honour it is to know and love them.
