2. You Can Get Your Own Direwolf

Just like Ms Turner, you can get your own direwolf thanks to the American Alsatian Breeders Association, which has successfully bred American Alsatians, very large wolf-like dogs known as direwolves.

Keep in mind that the American Alsatian resembles the real dire wolf, Canis dirus, which died out 10,000 years ago but it’s not quite its descendant.

American Alsatians come with a hefty price tag of $3,000 but luckily there is another option in the form of the Northern Inuit Dog, like Zunni, which in the U.K. can be purchased for less than £1,000.

Northern Inuit Dogs were bred in the 1980s, and although they may not be a household name among dog breeds they are definitely cooler than most.
