It always made things more interesting, though, when you died trying to tame one and it'd grab your reagent pouch. I think it always grabbed what it considered your most valuable item.
I'm not sure the right way to deal with loyalty. Successfully issuing a command generally raised loyalty (why you could keep your horse happy by spamming "all follow me") but a failed command lowered it. A white wyrm was naturally more ornery because it required something like 99 control. In my memory, with 3 pets (either all dragons, or wyrms) they behaved just fine and there was no reason to constantly feed them. But there was something about dragging around a big flock that caused problems. There were also various "bad spots" where a pet would just ignore all commands and it's loyalty would decrease at an accelerated rate. That might have been due to a line of sight bug and perhaps code they were messing with to make pets unhappy if their owner left their sight.
that's exactly how i remember it too. i rarely used more than 3 because it was a pain in the ass.
