Possession of wolves in Arizona
is prohibited without a permit. They may not be imported or possessed
except as otherwise permitted by the Arizona Game and Fish Commission.
Under current Department of Game and Fish policy, any hybrid resulting
from the cross of a wolf and a domestic dog is considered a domestic
animal and not subject to the Department's jurisdiction.

HYBRIDS
The meaning of existing rules with regard to hybrids is subject
to policy (and judicial) interpretation. By unwritten policy,
AGFC does not consider most interspecific hybrids wildlife. They
are not under AGFC jurisdiction, but may be under that of agencies
such as county rabies-animal control departments. In contrast,
based on the biological definition of"species," progeny
from intraspecific cross-breedings (i.e. between conspecific races
or subspecies) are not true hybrids and are under AGFC jurisdiction.
