Definitely, after 6 years as his "father", he knows his place in our pack. He looks to us for food, protection, love and teaching (and also fun), and we look to him for the same, well, maybe not food ;-) I know i have to assert my position and he responds accordingly... He is surprisingly sensitive, but incredibly loving and very well behaved. He is actually better behaved than our husky. They are brothers and love each other very much, they have never even gotten in a tussle. just play all the time and connected at the hip. Niko is very protective of all of us, even our family cat...
He has never lost his place in our family and i have never had reason to question his love for all of us
Don't worry about this wolfdog. he is well cared for and very well loved..
I'm sorry, Shmiggy. I should have been clearer. The call for caution wasn't directed at you. I meant it for all the people who look at this beautiful majestic creature and fall instantly in love as I did. I wanted one from the first time I met one. I have an innate sense that there isn't an animal in this world that I cannot befriend with a little time and love. I have to remind myself constantly that I might befriend them, but I cannot live with them all. I could tell from the beginning that you are very affectionate and very much in charge in a non-forceful kind of way.
