Patience, grasshopper. 2* wolves are worth the effort. You may need better armor than the BF provides.

I died 3 times getting my 2* wolves, and I had fully upgraded wolf armor. (Three always seems to be the magic number, doesn't it?). It was completely worth it.

Build a strong pen to hold wolves, already stocked with enough food to tame them with a way to gtho after they chase you in and you close the open side. Time doesn't pass if you're far away from them, but I think the game calculates when they should be tame, so you can just leave them and come back.

hth.
