big kots can be tamed (not domesticated). it's unwise to have them around small children imo. not because of inherent aggression, but children can move in sudden unexpected ways and a predators instincts are wired to respond to small soft animals moving quickly. same is true for wolves/wolf-dog hybrids, even if they "like" the family/children, sometimes a split second of their instincts overriding their socialization can cause tragedy.
