Would a wolf make a good pet?

NO!!! Wolves need LOTS of space to run (FAR more than even a high-energy dog would) and their prey drive is extremely high, making them a threat to other owners with small dogs and cats and possibly livestock (if you live in a rural area) around. Wolves have a different way of behaving and establishing dominance than dogs do, and require a more experienced person who knows the behaviour of wolves to be able to be the pack leader towards it. Wolves are wild animals and should be treated as such: they are one of the top predators in the wild, and should be regarded and respected as such.

If you want a pet that resembles a wolf go adopt a Malamute or a Chow chow or any breed that historically is a closer relative to the wolf than a poodle or shi-tsu would be. But NEVER make a pet out of a wolf or even a wolf-hybrid: they should stay in the wild.

Yes but only when they are a lamb not a fully grown sheep. you have to be prepared to wake up at all hours to feed them when they are still too young too eat grass. when they grow older, they will still follow you around!! make sure you come up with a graet name for them too!
