are wolf hybrids legal in Canada?

I want to get some more information on the laws here in Canada, specifically in Ontario. I am not looking to breed or acquire but only want to know if it is illegal to possess as a pet a wolf/husky hybrid dog. I am in northern Ontario. I know many states in the US they are legal. What about in Canada?

I thought in BC it was illegal to adopt out wolf hybrid dogs, but I saw one the Nelson BC SPCA site so I am not sure.(He got adopted yeah!) Not sure how these dogs come about though I cant imagine someone intentionally breeding them.

I hope I never see a wolfadoodle !.

My girlfriends wolf/husky just passed away last week. She aquired hers in Saskatchewan and is going to look for a new one there. Seems her father in law has connection to a breeder. Hers was legal as far as i know.Went to the vet was chipped and so forth. She is in Airdrie and never had any problems.

Im pretty sure they are...theres quite a few in downtown Toronto, they claim they are wolfXHuskys anyway. There is one in my neighbourhood, hes a beautiful dog, and plays pretty nicely with my dog. If they arent legal, its one of those things no one cares about anyways cause they don't look like pit bulls!

They should be worried about hybrids. Anytime ya have a half or quarter or 1/8 wild animal in a home you're dealing with an unknown.

I was told by Agriculture Canada that indeed they are illegal to breed/sell. I was also told there is no way to prove that the dog is a true wolf hybrid. I know that many people selling them out there don't know for sure if they are truly wolf hybrids.
