The mating season starts in the winter from about January and continues for roughly a month. Females come into oestrus at this time for five to ten days. Fertilised females produce cubs in the spring.

The time of breeding corresponds to the part of the year when hunting is easiest. Parents are therefore relatively well fed and in peak condition for the task of bringing up a family. Foetuses will be well nourished in the womb and cubs in the den may have ample food.

Onset of breeding activity relates to latitude. Wolves living geographically further north start breeding later than in southerly climes. Arctic wolves give birth as late as May to June. They also have fewer cubs on average than their more southerly neighbours.
Mating for most wolves take place from January to April, and the pups are born in the spring.
