We have gotten away from the alpha wolves designation and have begun to realize that the wolf pack is, basically, a family. The mated pair are generally the parents of the rest of the pack. Some in/out movement is going on in the pack as young wolves break away to form new packs in new territory and sometimes strange wolves are allowed to join packs.

Hierarchy is determined as I said above with the mated pair at the top and doing all the breeding. The siblings of this breeding sort themselves out in loose dominance hierarchies with this determined by the " dominance " run and by the order of the chase in prey acquisition.
