When is the wolf breeding season?
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.
Milk when they are very young. TWhen the cubs are old enough to start eating meat, the adults in the pack will eat as much meat as possible after making a kill then return to the cubs. The adults will regurgitate some of the meat they have eaten for the cubs to eat. It sounds gross but its the fastest and safest way to carry the meat back to them.

What to do if a wild dog is about to attack?
Never approach a stray dogs with bare arms or legs. You need to be covered for extra protection in case of attack. Also, wear gloves and have a towel or sheet to hold infront of you when approaching. This also allows you greater ease to wrap the dog in the sheet/towel when you reach it. By wrapping the dog gently you are both providing a sense of safety and warmth aswell as protecting yourself from potential attacks. Do not cover the dogs eyes as this will spook it and can cause the dog to attack out of fear. Finally, before approaching the dog, check for any visable signs of broken bones (limping/holding a paw off the ground), or wounds (bitemarks/bleeding). Be sure to be cautious of these when lifting the dog as to not touch them or hurt the dog further.

It depends on what the wolf is doing. If feeding, the best bet is to hide your fear, and slowly back away. Don't make eye contact or try to provoke the wolf, whatever it's doing.
