Are wolf hybrid dogs good guard dogs?

Answer 1

No.

Dangers: Wolf-dog hybrids often attack and kill humans. A child running, screaming, stumbling or crying may trigger a predatory response (even in an animal that has always been "great with kids"), resulting in serious injury or death of the child. Once this predator-prey response has been stimulated, the animal may never again view children as anything but prey. Other animals also arouse wolves' and hybrids' predatory instincts. Cats, small dogs, chickens, sheep and other domesticated animals are not safe in the presence of a hybrid. While we all know many dogs who exhibit this behavior, it is to a lesser and much more controllable degree.

Training: Wolf-dog hybrids are much more cat-like than dog-like in their response to training. While they're perfectly capable of learning commands, they cannot be counted on to obey them in frightening or dangerous situations or when they've decided they're bored with the game. These are the times, of course, when it is most important to be able to rely on obedience. This trait is attributable to fact that they are expressing "adult" canine behavior as opposed to the more "juvenile" canine behavior of dogs. From an evolutionary perspective it is very important for young wolves to obey older pack members. However, as they reach adulthood it is important for them to assert independence.

Second opinion:

If you ever do get one, and have kids, make SURE it's a puppy. For example: From the pound, older wolf hybrid, let's just say you can't teach dogs new tricks. I got one when was a puppy and trained it to be gentle to the kids.

Wild animals have what you will call instinct, predatory instinct, they are built to kill, weak and strong ungulates as prey to survive another day, ungulates from mountain goat to bison ungulates much stronger than us humans and their body is their weapon...

Since wolf like dogs or "hybrids" are a cross with two different species of animal this is defined as a mutant or a different species like a mule or a liger and thus for the behavior is very unpredictable not like that of a dog of a wolf it is a predator so i will sometime in it's life occupationally more than once try to attack something smaller than it or bigger as prey that's what they do and expect that with kids..

They are not good with kids and in retrospect humans at all......

I don't think mixing the wild with the domestic and living with them as comrades and trusting their unpredictable behavior is wise.......

Answer 2

No, they make horrible guard dogs and would rather run away from strangers then attack them.
