10
[ EDIT ] = your pets lvl can never go beyond your lvl. You can only tame up to your lvl, and if you say tame a lvl 8 beast while your lvl 10, that pet wont go past lvl 10 untill you ding 11 , then it will once again start to gain XP, up untill the point it lvls.
Pets require less then half the XP you do per lvl , so after you ding 11 it wont take your pet long to hit 11 as well, but note once he does, he will NOT gain any XP again untill YOU hit lvl 12, and so on so on so on . .
Sorry I should have put all this before, but I was just surfing then at 5am in the morning after just getting up and having coffee . . . . so I didnt feel like saying much :P
Hope this helps.
Peace
