I believe that is either a Boar or a Bear's head, not a wolf Surp. If there's any Germanic influence in that crest it's unlikely to be a wolf as they were extinct in Germanyicon for virtually the entire 20th century and have only just started returning in the last quarter century. I have many German friends in Canadaicon, all avid hunters and they love to hunt hogs and bears.
