I've always loved animals. As a "dog person", wolves have always been close to my heart. I've admired their intelligence, free spirit, family bonds and the fact that they mate for life. I've read books about them and watched many documentaries. This film has truly touched my soul. It is an intimate portrait and allows you to peek into their daily life and witness the true nature of this amazing animal. The second video (Wolves at our door) in this DVD set is basically a form of cliff notes, but I didn't mind watching both over and over again ;)

I wholeheartedly recommend this DVD. It is the most beautiful documentary I've seen thus far. It will steal your heart :)

"The more I know man, the better I like wolves"

this was awesome. it totally gave me a new respect for wolves. i dont usually get emotional while watching things but i def did at the end of this. they did a great job bringing the viewer into their lives, both that of the humans and the wolves.

I would have loved to be with the Duetchers in the making of this video.
It was so awesome.
We had a hybred wolf many years ago and she was absolutely beautiful.

The work that Jim and Jami Dutcher did with these wolves is amazing. I think they learned more about them thatn has ever been known before. A real treasure and a joy to read.

This documentary is at once astounding and enjoyable. It provides very real, very true information about wolves. It also portrays wolves in many different ways. The film is fantastic and gripping. It is also mind opening and lovable. This is one of my favorite documentaries ever. I also highly recommend Jim and Jamie Dutcher's other works which include the following: The Sawtooth Pack (book), Wolves At Our Door (book) and a few others. :)

I caught this on television one late night when I was on vacation and loved it so much that it had to buy it and share it with my dog loving family and friends. If you aren't teary-eyed at the end you couldn't have been much interested in wolves or dogs to began with. It is intelligent, not "reality tv", and stunning visually. It is one of those life-changing type films for us, essentially a nature documentary with a heartwarming plot. Intelligence and heart. Lakota and Kumatz rule!

Breath taking documentary. I saw a lot of NG documentaries this is the first that made me feel ecstatic..
Maybe because we are so close to wolves (family ,pack etc ) or the nature of it was so good ,does not mater as a whole it is the best I have seen

This is one of my absolute favorites, it's a wonderful story of a couple that creates and lives with a pack of wolves. They bring out their Yurt and set up shop in a desolate area of Idaho; the Sawtooth mountains on BLM land, and set out to do something that has never been done before.

It's a great story, it's unique and very interesting. Normally I rate on features such as video and audio quality. Having watched both of these two DVD's many times, I've never really paid that much attention to either of those two, the story is just that interesting.

I got this title from the local PX, it was only around $10.00, tax free. For that price you just cannot go wrong. But it's still a value here on Amazon at $14.00.

Highly recommended!

I first saw Jim and Jamie Dutcher in action on tv and was instantly impressed by them, the risks they took, and the sacrifices they made to raise the Sawtooth pack from pups - feeding them by hand; learning to howl with them; teaching them to hunt... but, most of all, teaching them to survive on their own so they could leave them, knowing they taught them well. As an animal lover with a great soft spot for wolves, I never tire of watching this video - or anything about the Dutchers.

This world needs more people like Jim and Jamie Dutcher.

I would highly recommend this book/dvd set to any one who has a love of dogs/wildlife. It is beautifully done and I have loaned out my dvd.Also suggest the book of photos from the same couple, it is a super coffee table size book of their still shots, of the beautiful animals they lived with. The dvd is super. They are a part of our heritage.
