Neutral when Tamed?
When you tamed a wolf, then you attack it (with hands as exaple), does it gets untamed and attacks you, does it attack you and stay tamed, or does it gets untamed and do nothing, or it gets passive? Calinou 22:33, 21 March 2011 (UTC)


 * We dunno yet.-- User Oneshot O.JPG ne shot.   19:44, 21 March 2011.


 * Chances are that your tamed wolf will be loyal to you till death. This is just a guess, though. R ocĸetor talk  22:21, 21 March 2011 (UTC)


 * If you accidentally hit it while it is tamed then nothing happens. Ffrogman 00:00, 25 March 2011 (UTC)

 * You've got a point, because it is in fact friendly --BURRITO333 00:21, 23 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Actually, your offtopic idea about flying wolves to fight Ghasts is also a problem. If you melee a Ghast and then your wolf is trying to attack it, and the Ghast floats over an edge.... R ocĸetor talk  05:08, 28 March 2011 (UTC)


 * That won't happen because wolves don't go through portals to the nether, and they won't teleport to you either.legoking24 14:33, 1 April 2011 (EST)


 * When you attack a tamed wolf the only thing that happens is the wolf's health goes down. So it remains tamed and does NOT attack back. [[File:pumpkin_small.png]] FLINJAGER123  Talk [[File:Pumpkin_small.png]] 22:08, 31 March 2011 (UTC)


 * I have seen multiple times, personal experience included, that tamed wolves will attack back if you attack them. They may even kill you, however, after you die you may return to them and find they are still tame. GameSlayerGS 14:07, 11 April 2011 (UTC)


 * I don't know how many times I've hit my wolves. I've never once had them attack me.  As far as I know, the only way to get them to attack you once tamed is to attack yourself. Markus 08:03, 28 April 2011 (UTC)


 * They will run around for a while like the passive mobs, and will relax after a while. Personal experience. But sometimes when you close your game, and then log on, they might become wild(even if they're sitting) or at least that's what happens to me. –Preceding unsigned comment was added by 62.242.64.212 (Talk) 12:57, 20 January 2012.

Wolves are dogs?
When wolves are tamed are they going to be called Wolves still or dogs? –The preceding unsigned comment was added by LeopardStar (Talk 23:14, 29 March 2011. Please sign your posts with


 * They've always been called wolves on Notch's blog and the Mojang twitter accounts, so I'm going to assume that dogs are scrapped and replaced with tameable wolves. – ultradude25 ( T at 23:15, 29 March 2011 (UTC)


 * It was only called dogs by fans. R ocĸetor talk  05:48, 30 March 2011 (UTC)


 * It should be noted that wolves and dogs are in fact the same species of animal (Canis lupus). You want to call them dogs, call them dogs.  :)  A dog is just a tamed wolf... --Euryleia 20:35, 3 April 2011 (UTC)


 * A dog is a domesticated wolf - there's a big difference between taming and domestication. Yomikoma 20:56, 5 April 2011 (UTC)


 * There are several species of wolves; the Gray Wolf, Canis Lupis, Dogs, Canis Lupis familiaris, the Red Wolf, Canis rufus, Eastern Wolf, Canis lycaon, Indian wolf Canis lupus pallipes. It's most probable that they are Gray Wolves do to there habitat, but while they are the same species they are different sub-species, and so we have tame wolves not dogs. Timberdoodle 14:55, 18 May 2011 (UTC) Sorry forgot to put in the Dingo, and African Wild Dog. Timberdoodle 14:57, 18 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Minecraft is a simplification of real life. Making a point by using 'real world information' is (even though technically correct) pretty much beside the point. I mean (as a random example) chickens spawn when you throw eggs? In this world they would be omelets, not chickens. Tamed wolves are still wolves but calling them 'tamed wolves' is 5 times as long as 'dog'. To distinguish I guess 'dog' is a good word.(94.212.169.79 12:24, 27 February 2012 (UTC))

Aggressive wolves
I'm pretty sure there will also be aggressive wolves be showing up, at least, that seems what Jeb meant when he said wolves are mostly neutral. And Notch seems to think the same. So... Vertex 18:19, 30 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Already seen a wolf that attacked me in SMP. I did nothing to it, I was just woodcutting! C ali nou - talk × contribs » 08:16, 28 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Aggressive wolves only exist if you hit a wild wolf. Hlast 14:41, 5 August 2011 (UTC)


 * On SMP, attacked wolves become hostile to everyone. So maybe someone attacked a wolf, and a wolf of that pack killed you. --Emeraldisthetwilightgod 01:10, 9 January 2012 (UTC)

Doors
Wolves don't seem to go through open doors. I had a double wooden door open for them to walk into, and they ignored it and tried to walk around. Removing the door seemed to fix the problem, but having a zombie walk into their room isn't exactly the most pleasant of thoughts. Wandering Traveler 17:58, 31 March 2011 (UTC)


 * I recommend to make a "dog-hut" if Notch doesn't ad one. Just make a small House with no door, let them sit in it, and close it up with dirt. Khezu


 * I can confirm that the dogs I've seen won't go through doors. Eggdropsoap 01:34, 1 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Wolves can go through 1x1 holes I believe, and only chickens & wolves at most housing locations can go through those, so you could have a 1x1 hole next to your door for wolves. Richardplex 20:06, 1 April 2011 (UTC)

I have seen my dogs going through double doors when either both or just one is open. You just have to be patient. –The preceding unsigned comment was added by Reeseyd (Talk 11:51, 2 April 2011. Please sign your posts with


 * I've gotten my wolves to go through a single door too. But it was at the end of a long one-block path with fences on either side, which helped to line them up correctly. Chyre –The preceding undated comment was added on 22:49, 16 April 2011. Please sign your posts with

Pigs/Small Slimes can also go in this door. I prefer making a wolf hut anyway :) Calinou 19:52, 4 April 2011 (UTC)

Adding that I've managed to get my wolves to walk through both double and single doors, it just takes time and patience. Adding 1x1 'doggie doors' beside the entrance seems to help, but knocking out bits out of your buildings for their sake seems counterproductive. The best compromise I've found for keeping wolves is to make open, well-lit and high-fenced pens outside your house. --Fanshawe 15:03, 4 September 2011 (UTC)


 * I usually just make my wolves sit near the door and shove them in. It's faster than waiting for them to go in themselves, and you can shove them through single doors as well as double doors. Or make an enclosure large enough so when you run to the other side of it, your wolves must either follow you or teleport inside. --Aj is me 01:44, 23 January 2012 (UTC)

Wolves are becoming untamed.
I believe it's some kind of glitch, but I noticed that when I got back onto a world where I had tamed a wolf pack of 6, They were no longer tamed, however, they were all still sitting in a group where i left them. Their collars are also gone. –Preceding unsigned comment was added by Xexoy2 (Talk&#124;Contribs) 19:26, 1 April 2011. Please sign your posts with

 * I realized that the dogs recognize people by their username that tamed them - this is going to be true for single player and multiplayer I think. I tamed the dogs with one user name then I purchased a new one. I started using the new one and then my dogs wouldn't listen to me and attacked me. I was confused until it hit me that the dogs don't know I'm behind both usernames. They listen to the first username. -faithy (PS I haven't tested to see if the dogs disobey you when you can't login and chose "play offline") –Preceding unsigned comment was added by Faithy (Talk&#124;Contribs) 18:09, 8 April 2011.

 * When Playing offline mode, your Username is "Player #", and so ONLY Wolves tamed in Offline Mode will act as yours, and if you switch back to your real UserName, than wolves tamed in Offline mode will ignore you and wolves tamed under that name will listen, etc. (Personally, I think that the Offline/Online part should be filed as a bug, and that MineCraft should just temporarily save whoever was logged on last, and always give Offline Mode that name, but that's just an opinion.) --DwarfWoot 15:42, 10 April 2011 (UTC)

Confirm attack strength
I suspect the values given for attack strength may be too low. I have been killed by single wolves far quicker than the "one half or one" heart given in the stats suggests. Also, it seems to be impossible, or at least extremely difficult, to outrun them; maybe this should be mentioned in the "movement" section if confirmed. Fischertechniklas 08:54, 5 April 2011 (UTC)

If you hit a Wolf and it becomes hostile, is there a way to cause it to become neutral again? Also, if you hit a Wolf in a pack, will the entire pack become hostile? -- ClapNZ 01:51, 6 April 2011 (UTC)

Roaming range?
My house is in a swampy/seasonal foresty area with sugar cane and small ponds and birch trees. It's by the water with sand dunes, and I'd call it beach, if anything. Not near snowy or heavily forested areas. I've regularly seen packs of two and of five wolves roaming through the area. What is the roam range of wolves? They seem to pass through every two to five days? Stone wall 14:02, 6 April 2011 (UTC)


 * If your near any trees usually more than one bunch together then wolves can spawn But its rare. WiiMaster890 14:31, 6 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Cool. Thanks. By the way, I built a room for tamed dogs with a grass floor, and three wild wolves spawned in there. I was a bit shocked to walk in and see the wild wolves wandering around. Stone wall 17:10, 6 April 2011 (UTC)

Wolves teleporting after death?
I went out in multiplayer with two wolves, and died due to fall damage, and respawned at the bed I last slept at, and one of the wolves was right next to me when I respawned. When I went to the spot I died I didn't find the other one. Just a glitch? Insanity 18:29, 6 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Maybe a glitch, but if your wolf was sort of close (less than 60-90 blocks) from the bed, it may have teleported for this reason. The second could die, or move too far away in the meanwhile. <font color="Blue">C <font color="Orange">ali <font color="Purple">nou - talk × contribs » 18:51, 6 April 2011 (UTC)

Sitting bug
Ive just experienced my wolf permanently sitting because of the bug that occurs when you save and quit to title while the wolf is sitting, and once you go back into the game, right clicking has no effect. I also tried attacking it and dumping water on it, with no effect. --NecrusIV 12:25, 10 April 2011 (UTC)

Wolf Water Shake

Tamed Dogs Attacking Me!
I had my dogs sitting down by my fort, and i went down a hole to mine, got off the game (closed), and reopened it and when i went back up, my dogs were still sitting, but they wouldn't stand up, i punched one, and it attacked me! this was the same for my other 5 dogs (who i had to end up killing) –The preceding unsigned comment was added by Kickflip645 (Talk 23:45, 13 April 2011.

 * Guess what!? My dog ended up having this glitch too. The only way to stop this bug....cause it started to annoy me is that I brought it to my house shoved it over the trapdoor and pushed the button.  I kinda thought it would survive the fall, turns out it didn't. I thought that by making it fall down a long way that it would stop the bug....once that happened i realised that i killed it in the end. At least i don't have a stalker anymore.  :D

Wolves and Pressure Plates
It appeares to me that tamed wolves can activate stone pressure plates, unlike other mobs. Untamed and hostile wolves probably can only affect wooden ones, although I have not yet completely looked into this. The man dude 23:00, 16 April 2011 (UTC)


 * All mobs can activate stone pressure plates. – ultradude25 ( T at 07:40, 17 April 2011 (UTC)


 * No, they don't. Only the player is supposed to be able to activate a stone pressure plate, making it different from a wooden one. Otherwise, hostile mobs would be able to enter a building, posing a major problem. (i also notice the wiki page for pressure plates does not directly state this) The man dude 19:40, 17 April 2011 (UTC)

Add Emphasis?
This one is very important: "Tamed wolves count against the passive mob limit. In SMP, an individual player with an excessive number of tamed wolves can prevent ALL players on the server from encountering passive mobs regardless of type (cows, chickens, pigs, etc.)" I suggest bolding it so people make sure to see it. It deserves emphasis because it is a reason to not tame wolves. FordGT90Concept 13:35, 18 May 2011 (UTC)

Limit on tamed wolves - not accurate?
I don't think this sentence is entirely accurate:

"At the moment, there is no limit[2] on the number of wolves the player can tame, but de facto limit is 15 because this is the maximum number of neutral mobs (including new wolves) that can spawn naturally - thus, the more tamed wolves a player has, the less other passive mobs spawn."

I currently have 19 tamed wolves. I had 12 tamed wolves and then went exploring. I found a pack of seven more and tamed them all. All 19 are in the same kennel. I play on a multiplayer server with about 20 friends. I'm not sure what our settings are, but it's pretty vanilla although we do make some modifications to commands, etc. Not sure if that effects anything. I also have had no other problems with random mobs (cows, sheep, etc.). We have monsters turned off.

So, I think this sentence needs some clarification, but I'm not sure how.

I was playing with redstone and pistons in my fortress while a thunderstorm was going on outside and suddenly my wolf, who was supposed to be sitting outside, teleported beside me on fire.

Simultaneous wolf feeding/healing?

 * This happens when the wolves are at full health. If their tail is above 90 degrees, their health is full. It may be hard to tell when they are sitting, so you can stand them up for a second to check. - Shadowx4ffc 15:08, 4 September 2011 (UTC)

Any wild wolves in 1.8 / 1.9pre ?
Since upgrading to 1.8, and later to 1.9 prerelease, I haven't run across a single wild wolf (in single player), except if they happen to be running around at the starting location of a new world - but even then they seem to vanish into thin air as soon as you wander away a chunk or two.

It appears to me that their new spawning habits match that of other animals (i.e. they usually spawn only in newly-created chunks), but their de-spawning habits still match those of monsters (i.e. they de-spawn easily if you're not close), making them a very, very rare sight.

Can anyone confirm this, or do I just happen to be out of luck? –The preceding unsigned comment was added by 77.180.52.71 (Talk 12:55, 1 October 2011. Please sign your posts with


 * This happened to me just now, as a matter of fact. I hadn't found a single wolf after exploring large distances, but eventually (luckily) came across three. I tamed them, ran another good distance back to my home (checking if they were following, and they were), ended up getting shot by a skeleton along the way, so I think they went after it. When I got home, they were nowhere to be found, and they were not where I got shot, so they without a doubt despawned.


 * This is troublesome. Wolves seem to have become all but impossible to find, and despawn easily. And I have gone back to not finding a single wolf over incredibly large distances, not even where I found those three.98.211.39.251 07:39, 6 October 2011 (UTC)

before when i started playing minecraft i found wolves around and in my trench surrounding my house. i did not now what they where for since they did not drop anything when killed so i thought they where worthless. then after the 1.8 update i haven't seen any. then i thought it was because i changed my biome. i cut down all the trees around so that is why i thought that. so then i went to a snowy biome to se if i could collect wolves. none. so then i planted trees in my original home. but none either. so now i came here and i can see i am not the only one with this problem. man and i used to see at least 1 pack of them everyday. –Preceding unsigned comment was added by 108.36.127.75 (Talk) 13:20, 15 October 2011.

Do untamed wolves not despawn in SMP?
I'm not sure, and the title says it all. I found a pack near my server's town, panicked b/c the server was on Peaceful because I had no bones, ran around like a chicken without a head, ran into a ravine and died (losing a stack of diamond in the process, lol), spawned about 500x 450z away, used the nether, ETC ETC. When I came back, the wolves were still there. Can anyone explain exactly how the despawning system works in SMP? Edit: I think this is kind of important to know, given how rare wolves are now.

Do wolfs continue to spawn?
If you have already tamed the pack of wolves in a biome will other neutral wolfs continue to spawn? Because some noob came and killed my wolfs and I cant find anymore. I hope they do because if they don't I'm going to have to make a giant pilgramage to a pine forest way out in the unknown where no one has been. Crafting &#39;n Mining 00:50, 5 December 2011 (UTC)

 * Stop killing the pigs as soon as you find them - lead them back to your house/base (pigs, cows, and sheep will follow you if you're holding wheat) and then breed them for an infinite supply of pigs. Alternately, save Rotten Flesh for your wolves - it heals wolves with no side effects at all, and is otherwise useless (unless you like the poison effect), unlike porkchops. 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 17:23, 5 December 2011 (UTC)

Wolves spawn in huge amounts now?
Recently I have noticed ridiculous amounts of wolves spawning on some of my maps. I thought they were supposed to be rare...so am I just lucky, or have wolves become a lot more common now? I literally have tamed 200 naturally-spawned wolves in one of my maps. (I've only played it a couple hours total!) I'm certain they were rare before. The wiki doesn't say anything about them being more common now, so I'm just wondering. --Aj is me 17:24, 28 January 2012 (UTC)

Do Splash Potions with Passive Positive & Negative Effects work on Wolves?
I'm trying to find out if certain splash potions have effects on tamed wolves to give them a better edge in battle. I tested this in a Creative Singleplayer and the wolves did not show a bubbling effect, but still seemed to have the effect of the potion used. I tested Instant healing, Regeration, Strength, Swiftness, and Fire resistance. I used a potion of Fire Resistance on a large group of wolves and had them follow me into a lava pit. Most of them survived, but many of the effects had worn off on the wolves that did not get the full effect of the potion. I also hit a wolf a few times and then gave it Regenration and Instant healing, and saw their tails raise, a sign that they were gaining health. Also, I had a wolf walk into lava with fire resistance, and the wolf still ran around in circles despite not taking any damage from the fire. A strength potion I used on a wolf made it kill a cow in one hit after I punched it once, implying that it did at least 4.5 hearts of damage. Also, swiftness appeared to be a noticeable increase in speed.

Any help on this would be appreciated, I'm hoping to have wolves be more useful in fights.

Bug in 1.2.5 re wolves and cats on multiplayer
Since 1.2.4, but worse now, tame wolves and cats will spontaneously un-sit themselves and teleport to wherever you are, on multiplayer. I have observed this on a vanilla server and on a bukkit server with 20 plugins. No mods in use in either case.

This may happen in single player too, I haven't tested it.

 * Playing 1.2.5 single player, whenever I encounter wolves, they begin following me. I've found no way to stop them following me.

I started several new worlds and redownloaded the latest update, but they still form huge packs if I wander around for any time. On one world I have over 40 wolves all following me untamed and its making it impossible to accomplish anything because they not only follow, but teleport onto my location if I get any distance away and it knocks me around. The same thing is happening with Ocelots but in smaller quantities, I assume because they do not spawn in large concentrated packs like Wolves do... –Preceding unsigned comment was added by 173.184.11.251 (Talk) 00:13, 10 June 2012.

Wolves and howling.
Did you guys know, that wolves have had the Howling sounds for the longest time, but have never been used? As of 1.3.1. they still are not being used. What do you think? Will they ever be used? Tell us what you think. Spencer10APSC 17:53, 14 August 2012 (UTC)

The minecraft modders Technic retextured the wolves and added in the Howling sounds in their modpack Yogbox. So yes, someone finally used the sounds.

Odd tamed wolf behavior
I've experienced some odd things with my tamed wolves. I keep them sitting in my house most of the time as they get in the way. A couple times one would be sitting near a wall and start yelping and taking damage and it turns black and looked like it was getting pulled into the wall. I tried to make it stand, but it wouldn't work. The first time it died. The second time I hit the wolf with a stick and was then able to make it stand and it turned back to it's natural color, ran away from the wall and stopped taking damage. At first I thought it was some shadow creature pulling them into the wall and attacking them, but now I believe if they sit too close to a solid block and turn towards it their head ends up inside the block and they start taking suffocation damage.

Also, when I go the the Nether and come back they are no longer sitting even though I left them that way. Once they even teleported to the exit portal which was suspended high in the air.

Lastly, like a poster above mentions, I had to hit one with a stick as it wouldn't stand when I right clicked him, and he stood but started growling. Then the other two started to growl. I fed each repeatedly but they kept growling. I tried sleeping, exiting and reloading the game. Finally when I went out to chop trees and came back they were just gone. WTF?!

SSP untaming may have been fixed
Throughout this article (and Tutorials/Wolves), it is noted that in SSP, logging out and back in again causes wolves to become wild once again. However, currently playing 1.3, this is not happening. The only potentially relevant mod I can think of that I'm running is Optifine, but unless that's fixing it, I think that bug may have been fixed.

Tamed wolves Forgiving?

Wolves seem to take less damage from mobs than players
I was playing around, making a wolf fight certain mobs one on one and noticed they take less damage from them. Endermen deal 3.5 hearts on normal, which is the damage they deal to other mobs as well. It should be able to kill a tamed Wolf, which has 10 hearts, in three hits. However, it takes five. Same thing with Zombie Pigmen. They deal 4.5 hearts on normal and to other mobs, but it takes 4 hits to kill a tamed wolf when it should take 3. Is this a bug?Chumbanotz 01:31, 14 February 2013 (UTC)


 * Hmmm. I haven't noticed that before. I don't know whether that's a bug or not. Miraklemax 14:47, 16 February 2013 (UTC)
 * I suspect they have an innate armor rating, which would reduce the damage they take. --Mental Mouse 13:39, 11 March 2013 (UTC)


 * It's not actually armor, but they do have an innate damage resistance to most attacks. Specifically, when attacked by an entity that is not a player or arrow, they take (attackdamage + 1) / 2 damage instead of attackdamage. For example, they take 4 damage (two hearts) from endermen, and 5 damage (2.5 hearts) from zombie pigmen. Other sources of damage (player attacks, skeleton arrows, falling, explosions, etc.) are not reduced. -- Orthotope 18:43, 11 March 2013 (UTC)

 * Does it enter "love mode" if you keep feeding it? If not, you might have a problem.  Try feeding it a few bones, see if you can re-tame it. --Mental Mouse 13:44, 11 March 2013 (UTC)

Tamed wolves with different coat colours
I've tamed a couple of wolves, and one of them seems to be a much darker colour than the other. I thought it was just in shade, but even sitting in a bright spot and not clipping into anything it's dark grey, nearly black. (I didn't notice an unusual colour before taming it, although there were no others nearby to compare it to).

Anyone else noticed this? Do dogs have different colours now (like cats) or do I just have a glitchy wolf? 90.204.92.241 11:32, 5 April 2013 (UTC)


 * It's a glitch. I used to have the same problem where some dogs would just be very close to black, even when in full daylight sunshine. I don't know if there is any solution to it, except for getting a new dog. -- Numbermaniac  - T  - C 00:27, 6 April 2013 (UTC)
