Tamed wolves don't attack wild ones?

Invited my friend to my server where I had 4 tamed wolves. He went to the mountain and brought two wild wolves back and they [obviously] immediately attacked my base, piggy, me, but ignored my wolves [they were in free roam mode], and my wolves completely ignored wild ones in return. I made my wolves to follow me, but still nothing - they ignored wild wolves.

Is this how it works? I thought tamed wolves will defend you from anything. They all were hungry, if that might be the case?

that's how it works. tamable animals don't attack their kin. I think it's a good thing though cause if your taming more than one animal at a time than when one tames it would start attacking the other if they don't tame at the exact same time, y'know

Right, that makes perfect sense! That was the same mountain where my tamed wolves from so I think the ones my friend attracted recognized the family.
You can always make the separate room for wild animals, to not mix them with tamed ones and that's what I did with my wolves, but yeah, thank you for confirming this!
