10 Reasons to Consider Adding a Wolfdog to Your Family (5 of 6)

8. Those with high aggression can be difficult to tame and should never be left in a house alone with children

Be aware that not all wolfdogs are suitable for domestic environments, and those with high aggression may require specialized care and handling by experienced trainers or inappropriate sanctuary settings where their needs can be met safely and responsibly. Responsible ownership and an understanding of their unique traits are crucial to ensuring the well-being of both the animal and those around them.

9. They don’t fully mature until around the age of 3

This extended maturation process is influenced by their wolf genetics, and during this time, they undergo significant physical and behavioral changes. As they mature, their personality traits may become more pronounced, and they may display more adult-like behaviors. Proper training, socialization, and consistent care during this developmental stage are essential to shape their behavior and ensure they grow into well-adjusted and well-behaved companions.
