The mother. The mother dog doesn't let anything in or out of her den until the pups are old enough to surface. Once out, the younger dogs help to raise them while the mother hunts/does other things.
A group of dogs is called a kennel, pack (wild dogs), or litter (pups from one mother)A pack of dogs.
They don't. Wolves are from the genus canis (in other words, dogs) and regardless of whether they are feral (wild) or domesticated (bred from wild over many generations) all dogs have pups, bears and lions have cubs.
Pups are young dogs, while coyotes are wild canines. Pups are domesticated and typically kept as pets, while coyotes are wild animals that live in the wild. Coyotes are known for their adaptability and hunting skills, while pups are known for their loyalty and companionship with humans.
Natural. Barking is common to pups in the wild but most adult wild dogs will be silent, except for growling or yelping.
African wild dogs typically give birth once a year, with litters usually consisting of 2 to 20 pups, though the average is around 6 to 10. The breeding season can vary based on environmental conditions and prey availability, but it generally occurs during the rainy season when food is more plentiful. Pups are born after a gestation period of about 70 days and are cared for by the entire pack.

no, she "breastbeeds" through the nipples on her abdomen
well wolves have between 1-6 pups but they can have more. it also depends on if the dog has been wild its whole life. What type (hyenas or African wild dogs, etc) of dog it is and if it is just a stray or if it is all wild, like living in the wild. if its wild it will probably have less so that it can survive (meaning 1-6) and if it's a stray they can have between 1-12. it also depends on how long the dog has been a stray for because if it's mother and grandmother were wild/ strays then the dog will evolve to survive, meaning less pups.
The African Wild Dogs survive by living and hunting as a family group. When the main pack is out hunting, a baby-sitter will stay behind and safeguard the pups. Group cooperation is the key to the pack's survival.

There have always been wild dogs present in the wild. Wild dogs are the origin of domesticated dogs. Dogs were domesticated millions of years ago by people as hunting aids and companions and obviously not all wild dogs could be domesticated due to the number of wild dogs present on the earth in comparison to the number of people in those times, so some wild dogs remain, though the number of wolves are becoming minimal in comparison to domesticated dogs.
