Best Answer

The alpha protects the pack from dangers, and makes all the decisions. He fends off trespassers, and leads the hunt. He is also usually the only one to have a mate, but this changes depending on food abundence.

What does alpha dog mean?

It means the leader of a wolf pack. Usually the alpha (leader) of a wolf pack is a male so they just call it an alpha male. Sometimes though, rarely, a she-wolf is known to be the alpha. An alpha male can also mean the male wolf who can produce pups, but that is usually the leader (the alpha male). I also think that the alpha she-wolf is the she-wolf who can bear pups, or the mate of the alpha (leader).

How does a wolf become dominant?

Usually, this never happens. The Alpha wolf never mates with an omega because omegas are considered as the lowly wolves; they never get along. Unless you're talking about the movie, of course :) True, an alpha wolf will never mate with an omega wolf. However, there are cases where omega wolves rose to the rank of alpha wolves or left their pack and form their own, making them new alpha wolves. So yeah, an omega wolf will eventually mate an alpha wolf IF it's determine to be an alpha wolf Actually, a male alpha wolf will mate with all females of the pack. This ensures that only the strongest male of a pack has offspring.
