I recall someone saying wolves are planned to be replaced, but can't find the post.

The breeding shouldn't result in best stats reproduction.

As the possession of a pack of wolfhounds could be a very advantageous combat asset, it should have comparable costs as a squad of hired cheaper NPCs: much meat to tame them! But they can't eat much meat in one go ... so somehow they would have to store memory of who fed them whwt and when the feeding history meets a preset criterion, they follow their new leader. This will make the taming process more realistic ... and time consuming. :)

The hounds should indeed get 'hired NPC' behaviour. The only difference being the way they were hired and their possible targets.

The 'flocking' behaviour should also be mentioned here afaic, see the suggestions on sheperds and crebain flocks.
