Question
Are wolf dogs good pets?
Short answer
They don't make good pets, wolf dogs can leap eight-foot fences and dig their way out of almost any enclosure, and the people who try to keep them at home usually wind up having to give them up. They are dangerous around other pets and children. Lorin Lindner the sanctuary's founder says the only reason someone would buy one is ego, and believes the breeding should stop.
