Kända forskarrapporter visar att varg drar sig undan hund, tvärtemot vad jägarförbunden låtsas vara fakta.
Från Jessica Backeryd, naturvårdshandläggare för Länsstyrelsen i Jämtlands län får vi reda på detta.
Risken för vargattack på jakthund är liten.
"I Jämtlands län har ett mycket litet antal angrepp på hund av varg, anmälts de senaste tio åren. Men det är också så att i takt med att vargstammen i Sverige har ökat – det beräknas just nu finnas cirka 250 vargar i Sverige – så har även antalet angrepp på hundar ökat. De senaste åren har mellan 30 och 40 hundar per år angripits i landet och det har till 90 procent skett under jakt.
[...]
Det har genomförts försök av Viltskadecenter för att testa om vargar verkligen aktivt söker upp skällande hundar. Resultatet visar att i de flesta fall drog sig vargarna i stället undan från skallet i stället för att leta efter hunden. Orsaken till det kan vara att hundskall förknippas med människor och att vargarna därför oftast väljer att dra sig undan.
Detta tipset ger Jessica.
Slutligen vill jag vsa er rapporten över vargattacker mot hund av varg i skandinavien 1995-2005.
Abstract.
Wolf attacks on hunting dogs are considered a major problem among many hunters in Scandinavia.
This study is a descriptive summary of the 152 verified reports of wolf attacks on dogs in Scandinavia 1995 to 2005.
I also predict the effects of different changes in the hunting legislation regarding the number of wolf killed dogs prevented and the number of wolves killed by dog owners. 86 % of the dogs in this study were attacked by wolves while used for hunting and a majority (71 %) of the attacked dogs was killed. 72 % of the killed dogs were partly or totally consumed by the wolves.
Dogs of the breed harrier were overrepresented in being attacked, both numerically and in relation to their number of hunting days.
Sex of the dog did not seem to affect the risk of a wolf attack. Older dogs (7 to 13 years old) ran a higher risk of being attacked than younger ones (1 to 6 years old). In 12 % of the cases the dog owners said they could have shot the wolf that attacked their dog, during or directly after the attack.
If a dog owner is allowed to shoot a wolf before, during or after an attack on their dog, it could result in a maximum of 3 % of the Scandinavian wolves getting killed each year. By changing the legislation, one dog per year could be saved from being seriously injured or killed by wolves.

Conclusions
• 86 % of the wolf attacks on dogs occurred while the dog was used for hunting.
• In relation to their number of hunting days, harriers were weakly overrepresented in being attacked by wolves.
• Sex of the dog did not seem to affect the risk of being attacked by wolves.
• Older dogs (7 to 13 years) ran a higher risk of being attacked by wolves than younger (1 to 6 years) ones
• A possible change in the hunting regulations would have little effect on the current Scandinavian wolf population. A maximum of 3 % yearly of the population could possibly get killed.
• By changing the legislation, on average one dog per year could be saved from being seriously injured or killed by wolves.

– När man släpper sin hund lös tar man som hundägare en risk. Men hunden kan även råka ut för älgsparkar, drunkning, eller bilolyckor. Tyvärr finns det ännu inte någon förebyggande åtgärd mot vargangrepp som är helt säker men man kan använda halsband med pingla eller skyddsvästar. När det finns snö kan man även spåra av jaktområdet innan.
