A Wolf Hybrid? I hear they can be a bit destructive if left to be alone without any canine or human companions, but they are extremely lovable, a bit timid, friendly, and BAD watchdogs because of their friendliness.

Does anyone own or Recommend these dogs?

All of those are stereotypes.... that's like saying all chihuahuas are timid, or some other stereotype. It all depends upon the dog's personality.

My mom had a white wolf hybrid when I was a teenager, and he was very submissive, but a great guard dog. He was submissive because he had been chained and starved by the previous owners. They would use a 2" tow chain (for towing a car) to chain him up & would only feed him every couple of days. He would get so hungry that he would escape the chain around his neck (he broke the cartilage in his ear doing this, it never healed, and always flopped) and would go kill the neighbor's chickens. Once we got him, he never escaped, and would love on just about anyone as long as they were with one of the family. He never dug holes in the yard, or destroyed anything, other than his toys & that was just the usual rough & tumble stuff that most dogs do to their toys. He was the only dog we had at the time. Someone poisoned him and he died.

My dad thinks that Bandit is a wolf hybrid, but I'm not sure. He looks like a husky mixed with something, but I don't know what. I can't get him to stay still long enough to get a good pic of him from the side, or I'd show you how long his legs are, which is why my dad thinks he's a wolf/husky mix.

It depends, where you live and how do you want to use your dog. Wolf hybrids of first generation inherit worst qualities of wolf as pet: they are very shy of everything new, do not like overcrowded by unfamiliar people and dogs places and are potentially dangerous to farm animals. They are worthless as guard dogs. I would keep a wolf hybrid, if I had a house on a large piece of land and had neighbors with large acreage of land without small farm animals.
Wolf's behavioral complex is designed for survival on his own, not for serving any human. Wolf hybrid makes a good friend and companion, but he is always on alert and would run, if frightened and reasons, which frighten ,him are many.
