Wolves as pets and working animals
Wild wolves are sometimes kept as exotic pets, and in some rarer occasions, as working animals. Although closely related to domesticated dogs (which are generally thought to have split from wild wolves between 10,000 and 100,000 years ago), wolves do not show the same tractability as dogs in living alongside humans, and generally, much more work is required in order to obtain the same amount of reliability. Wolves also need much more space than dogs, about 10 to 15 square miles so they can exercise.〔(''Can You Turn a Wolf into a Dog: Commonly Asked Questions about Wolves and Hybrids in Captivity'' By Pat Tucker & Bruce Weide, Wild Sentry, Copyright 1998 )〕
==Rearing==
Captive wolf puppies are usually taken from their mother at the age of 14 days, preferably no later than 21days. Wolf pups require more socialisation than dog pups, and will typically stop responding to socialisation at the age of 19 days, as opposed to dogs which can still be socialised at the age of 16 weeks. For the first four months of their lives, wolf pups need to be kept isolated from adult canines, except for a few brief visits per week, in order for them to properly imprint on humans.〔 Pups will typically develop behavioural abnormalities if raised without another member of their own kind.〔 Because wolf milk contains more arginine than can be found in puppy milk substitutes, an arginine supplement is needed when feeding pups below the weaning age. Failure to do so can result in the pups developing cataracts.
