>>1062177our F3 generation (half blood and halfblood) took some time to socialise, but was fine afterwards. she would just remain on guard for a while or check on guests from time to time. Though she would get extremely protective if she sensed hostility from stuff like yelling. she didn't mind petting but would not come begging for it. she also unable to bark for the first few years until she learnt it from other dogs but did howl from time to time.
wolfdogs sound like great pets but it ends up horribly for many owners. just to hard to train and care for from them to thrive. only something for actually experienced owners that know what they are in for. Luckily our local alpine club offers SAR training for volunteers great trainers and events for the dogs. though even then a border collie would stille be a better choice for almost every one.
