Future Litters Update
By Jennifer Stoeckl, MAT - Dire Wolf Project CEO, Nov. 5, 2024Well, it’s official.
Stanley is now permanently retired from breeding.
I know many of you were hoping for a puppy out of our most beautiful black wolf gray male,
But we now realize, after trying for over six breedings, that Stanley is no longer capable of producing puppies.
So, we must remove him from the future litters page.
Luckily, we have recently kept five males and one female out of the most recent litters in honor of Stanley’s retirement.
You can view the updated “Meet Our Dogs” page to see all of our current breeding dogs here:

I’ve been working hard on new upcoming potential matches.
This new set of dogs will allow us to improve the inherited temperament within the most recent crossbred line.
As well as, increase the wolf mask, black wolf gray, and giant size.
All the while decreasing the incidence of our most prominent health issue, hypothyroidism, which is at a 5% reported incidence rate at this time.
There is still work to be done, but with these next planned litters, we have a lot of great potential moving forward.
Here is a screenshot of some of the potential matches I’ve been working on.
Many matches are crossed out because I’ve decided not to breed them.
Others are highlighted in green, meaning those are highly likely upcoming matches.
Again, it is not finished, but I wanted to give you an idea of what’s coming up soon so that you can prepare.
This week, I’ll be updating the future litters page with the new upcoming litters, including a full description of what is predicted for each match.
P.S. At this time, Stanley is not for sale. He loves his life in the forest and wouldn’t want to be anywhere else. He’s seven years old now. It would be a difficult transition for him after all this time. He will always have a place here with us as he lives his new retirement life.
