Wolfhound can refer to various breeds of dogs that have been bred to hunt wolves or to established lines of (historically crossed, as opposed to ancient) wolf-dog crosses that retain significant characteristics of wolves. Wolf-dog hybrids crossed in recent generations are often referred to as wolfdogs, wolf-dog hybrids or wolf crosses, but not wolfhounds. In addition, dogs have been bred to resemble wolves, and such dogs, though without crosses to wolves, may also be called wolfdogs (but not wolfhounds.)

"Wolfdogs" that are not crossed with wolves, but have been selectively bred in recent times to resemble wolves, include:
