If you're interested in buying and owning a timber wolf, there are a number of things you'll need to know.
Firstly, owning a timber wolf might be illegal depending on where you live - so you'll need to check with your local authority about the legality of owning one.
Secondly, even if you are allowed to own a timber wolf, you may need proper licensing and/or accreditation.
How to buy a timber wolf
If you're talking about the Timberwolf brand of hydraulic chippers, wood chippers and shredders -owning one is simple. You can buy Timberwolf products from the company's official website.
But if you're talking about the feral canine that is native to Europe, North America and North Africa, then the first step is to check whether you are legally allowed to own one.
Most states will have laws regarding the ownership of wild animals, but there may also be specific local ordinances in your city that prevent you from owning any type of wolf. I'd therefore recommend you consult your local authority for more information.
Owning a wolf
Owning a wild animal like a wolf also means you'll need to apply for a license.
In most countries, there will be a government department dedicated to regulating and licensing owners of wild pets. In the UK, this responsibility falls under the jurisdiction of DEFRA (the Department for Environment, Food, and Rural Affairs).
In fact, DEFRA also provide a useful page of information on the law regarding Wolf-dog hybrids that you might be interested in.
Personally, I'd recommend giving up the idea of owning a timber wolf as a pet. A timber wolf will never be a pet in the true sense of the word - it'll need to be locked up and closely monitored, and will require a lot of attention and money to support it.
If I were you, I'd look into the option of owning a Wolf-dog hybrid instead. Here's a dedicated page with more info about this fascinating canine sub-specie.
