Michigan prohibits possession of wolf-dog hybrids, deeming it a misdemeanor under its Wolf-Dog Cross Act.

Michigan prohibits the possession of wolf-dog hybrids, a mix of domestic dogs and wolves. Wild canines, like wolves, are not considered domestic animals. Owning a wolf-dog hybrid is classified as a misdemeanor under Michigan's Wolf-Dog Cross Act, with offenders subject to fines ranging from $250 to $1,000 and prosecution costs. This makes it the only dog breed illegal to possess in the state.
