Welcome Kiska! Your wolves sound absolutely wonderful! i have spoken with a couple who stopped to pet my dogs about two wolves they used to won. They said much the same - they were wonderful with kids, friendly towards them, but not for everyone. And the temperment you point out about your aunt's mal is one of the biggest differences between mals and sibes. Sibes were bred not only to be a working dog, but a family pet as well. They are more social & friendlier to each other & humans than mals (in general). They share same bull-headed independence, though!
