HOLLAND, NJ — An ordinance banning wolf dogs as pets in Holland Township has been rejected, even after an owner’s pets escaped for the third time in three months on Monday, a report in the Express-Times said.
Cliff Zager keeps 14 wolf dogs and three other dogs as pets. Holland first considered banning wolf dogs in early September after the dogs got out of their 9-acre enclosure for the third time since Zager moved to the township in 2005. While the town agreed to allow Zager to keep the wolf dogs, the committee is considering only limiting the number of animals that may be kept to seven, the report said. Wolf dogs are defined as dogs with a wolf ancestor in the past three generations.
is there any evidence these dogs are dangerous ? what is the problem here?
Yes…I am disappointed by the lack of 'news' here. This is why i tend not to read any articles. Titillate us with a catchy headline and then let us down with the details. All it takes is a phone call to find out details. I don't understand???
not sure what the escapes have to do with them being “wolf dogs” – any dog can escape

yea any dog can escape. were lucky our husky has not.They are notorious digger and escape artist. These dogs are no more threat than any other breed. It is people who treat them to be mean that make them mean and they CAN be rehabilitated to become less aggressive as they once were. If there were ever illegal; stances on these for pets in a city such as NY, they should not shoot them, they should send them to a sanctuary where they can live at peace.
