Storm is the only one who looks like a dog... Are the others wolf/dog hybrids or true wolves?

Feels like heaven...

Storm is a mid/low content wolf hybrid. She is about 45% gray wolf and malamute. Actually, Storms parents were used in the Twilight movies. Sasha is also a mid content, abt. 50% gray wolf. She also has husky and malamute in her. Sasha's puppy came in at about 50% gray wolf too. The puppy and Myah are high content gray wolf abt. 95%+. All are as sweet as can be unless you mess with them and then the wolf comes out. It's awesome when they all start howling. I love listening to them. Their coats don't look as nice as they do in the winter. so I usually don't take pics of them this time of year but the owner wanted pics of the puppy. She has 3 more high contents and a couple of mids that I didn't get pictures of yesterday because it was so hot out, they didn't want to come out of their shade. They are beautiful animals.

What is the purpose of the hybrids? Are they pets?

Caught this smile on Luna yesterday just after a bath.
We live on a large pond, [read, lake] and during the summer months, we cannot keep her out of the water. By about the 4th 'swim', she develops a 'sour', and need a good oatmeal shampoo bath.
She is absolutely attached to my wife, which is a very good thing.
Here she is at 12 and a half, feeling like a pup!

These guys are all pets. They are all friendly even the high content. Some of them are very shy and won't get close to me but they all know me and have accepted me into their pack so I've never had a problem with them. But in general, the wolf in them can be very destructive so they can be high maintenance. These guys are interacted with daily and love attention. However when it comes to food, they can get aggressive. They've even had some of them at the dog park and they did great. It's cool to watch the wolf traits. They can be somewhat trained but they really don't care about pleasing so if they don't want to do something you ask of them, they won't. Doesn't mean they won't the next time if they feel like it. They are very smart. If I didn't know them, I would probably not go into their enclosures. Not sure what they would do with a stranger or how protective they would be of the property if someone came on it that shouldn't be there. This last time I took pictures of them, they weren't too active because it was 100+ degrees but usually they ham it up for the camera.

Lovely animals. I was hunting on some land near a feller that raised hybrids. It was a foggy morning, I'm down on a creek bottom and they start howling. About 1/4 mile away. I thought, "Man, if I was in Alaska right now I'd be terrified!" Such a beautiful haunting sound to hear them.

Katie enjoying the afternoon sun. It's unseasonably cool here in southern OK. Still in the high 80's, but that sure beats high 90's and low 100's. She was lying out by the driveway, so I'm not happy with the rocks in the background in the first picture.

Does he know he looks like Mick Hucknell?
