The article answers that too... it reads
"The truth is: dogs can actually breed with wolves. Dogs (Canis lupus familiaris) and wolves (Canis lupus) are interfertile, meaning the two can interbreed and produce offspring. ...10 percent of the animals had a recent relative that was not of their species and three percent were a first-generation hybrid."
Really they are not "Hybrids", the term is "hybrid" is used informally, that is, as slang. They are literaly the same species.
