Do you ever bring your wolf/wolves to help you in fighting monsters or to protect you while you go on adventures and such, or do you just let your wolf lie aound at your house?

I take an army of wolves everywhere i go, they get annoying, but in multi-player it looks so badass to have 30+ wolves following you

I would never.

I didn't before but their pathfinding seems to not be so stupid now. I've had wolves run around big drops and lava pits instead of barreling straight in now.

But I always make sure 2 are left at home

You mean the 40 I have boxed at the edge of the map?
Funny....

At one point I had to build entire house for my wolves *might have been feeding them to much* I ended up with nearly 20 wolves happened over a period of 2 MC months. I take around 2 at a time.

i take all 7 of them half of them get owned by creepers

So for the most part people take their wolves its just a 50/50 kinda deal, keep some home and take a few with ya. Wow I only got myself 1 wolf, gotta get mor eit looks like!

I was just asking because when I play with friends on xbox live they just get a wolf (or 14+) and just never take them, some even built like a big ol dog house for em.

I usually keep mine at home when I'm mining or exploring or something, but sometimes I'll go hunting and bring them along to kill animals more quickly.

I take two with me normally. I leave pairs of them stationed at key points on the map. right now i have 8 but have had 20 plus before. if im hunting for endermen at night i will take 5. if i don't have wolves with me they teleport away before i can get the goodies and the wolves help when you are attacked by zombies spiders or skeletons while fighting the endermen.

I rarely take my wolf(ves) with me anywhere. I find that when I do take them, they usually get me into more trouble because I tend to pay more attention to where they are and what they are doing than where I am and what I'm doing (usually resulting in some sort of tragic fall on my part).

I have not gotten one yet. However when I decide to get one, I think maybe it depends on my mood whether I would have one tag along or not. Of course I wouldn't take one to mine with or something like that, but would maybe if I went exploring the rest of the world.:D

NO. Not ever. i find they just get in the way.

i've tried several times, but usually end up killing them myself as they block a doorway or carelessly step on a pressure plate trap or push me off a cliff or something...

i've never really needed the help in combat, except for very early on in hardmode... before i've got enough iron for armor... even then, more of a hinderance than a help.

I never take them with me to kill mobs because they can get hurt, but I will take them with me to go food hunting It makes things so much easier.

I'm a breeder. Even with the ridiculous animal spawning, I like to breed. This includes wolves. So I tend to have at least 8 wolves at all times. I take 2 with me when I go out at night just to help protect me, and I leave the other 6 at home. There's always one by my bed for when the games says "Nope, no sleeping tonight! ZOMBIEEES!!!!" Tends to happen a lot, even if I have a billion torches...

I usually leave them in my room in the side of my mine.. guarding the mineshaft!, i probally have around 20..
well after reading some of these comments im thinking about taking them out and killing all who come in my way!! Muahahahahahahahahaha

I remember the first time I brought my wolf with me, she fell into a open surface lava vent and after that I made a grave for her with gunpowder as ash in a chest :(. I got another one, he and I went out fighting mobs at night and sadly he got blown up by a creeper, shortly after his death I went on a RAMPAGE killing any monster and creeper I saw!

I got a new one now but I dont want him or her to sit at home 24/7, maybe take him out during day? (I found my first one to be female when a friend breeded her with another wolf and the pup came from her side, same with my 2nd. The new one is still unkown?)

I don't take my puppies out when I have them. Haven't bothered with my current map. I don't see much use for them other than aesthetic. Would be more useful if besides sit and follow, they had a guard command - sick anything not me coming within a certain range. Then I'd have 20 puppies on my roof killing all the stuff that spawns up there (even with burning netherrack, torches and lava).

I can't stand wolves. In my very first world on the Xbox Edition a friend went wolf crazy and so all three of us have wolves. He has so many that you can't touch him without being mauled (we tend to hit each other a lot, just messing around and such). In the rare case I have a wolf, I leave it in a dog house and don't ever bring it with me. They get in the way, and I can't stand the noise they (and other animals) make.
