This will be a question that a lot of people ask you as a Tam owner. Because they look so much like wild wolves, people assume that they have hidden aggression and hunting tendencies. In fact, they have been selectively bred for their friendly, affectionate and gentle temperament. Tamaskans are affectionate and loyal family pets. If they have not been well socialized or trained, they may show fear or be aloof when introduced to strangers (both canine and human) but with good socialization and patience and support this is not a problem.
