Owning a wolfdog should be a lifetime commitment as being displaced from their packs can cause them serious adjustment problems. If so, be aware that not everyone will appreciate the howling of your wolfdog. Most wolfdogs howl rather than bark. Sirens frequently trigger howling, so keep this in mind if you live near a fire or police station. Full moons do not cause wolfdogs to howl.
Statistics show that children are the most likely to suffer injuries from dogs.
By virtue of their size, wolfdogs and other large dogs have the capacity to inflict more serious damage, even while playing. Proper supervision of both animals and children is essential. Make sure no one will be able to gain entrance into the fenced area while you are away. Adequate fencing and containment does NOT mean the chaining, cabling or tying of an animal to an immovable object. This form of containment is unacceptable as it is responsible for countless canine social problems, including aggression.
