A wolf pack is formed because two wolves decide to mate with each other, and form a pack. They find territory and claim it, sometimes they pick up stray wolves that do not have a mate, and the two mates will usually have pups. Those two are the "alphas" of the pack.

Added:

Alphas are a term no longer used generally in wolf behavioral studies as said above the wolf pack is, basically, a family. Alpha implies active struggles for dominance which is not really seen in packs of related animals with the wolves high degree of social structure.

What is stronger than a timber wolf?

As the two are likely never to come into contact with each other, this is a moot point. However, Rottweilers were specifically bred, and continue to be bred, for their power and physical ability. Pound for pound, Rottweilers are much stronger (as evidenced by their denser and more developed musculature) than most wolf breeds.

The largest species of wolf, gray (timber) wolves, typically weigh between 55 and 86 lbs., at 41-63 inches in length and 32-34 inches in height at the shoulder.

An adult Rottweiler weighs 110-130 lbs. (however greater weights are not uncommon), with heights from 24-27 inches on average and body lengths of 30-32 inches.

You'll notice that twice the weight in a ten percent smaller package relates directly to muscle density and strength.

Yes, they are a sub species of grey wolf and I saw one in OR in the southern part, and was told they have wild packs though few still exist in an area south of Diamond Lake and Crater Lake. Locals told me about a woman who had a pack of these shaggy creatures and she set them free. Now it seems they are often seen and locals prefer to not talk about them to keep the whereabouts secrete. The one I saw was at a sanctuary in southern OR and he was brought out for us to see and touch his long shaggy coat.

We have few wolves left due to many misconceptions and the relentless hunting of them as encouraged by ranchers and folks like the Palins of Alaske and governors of other states. At first, the Corps of Discovery had lumped the wild canines into two groups: coyotes were referred to as "prairie wolves," and gray wolves were called "large wolves." When they discovered the buffalo wolf subspecies, Lewis made detailed observations of how a pack would isolate an antelope from the herd so they could chase it down. He wrote they "...are very numerous, they aof a light colr. & has long hair with Coarse fur."

A wolf pup weighs only 1 pound when born. They are also totally blind and deaf at birth. This is one of many reasons for having the parents and other pack members complete attention.

There they play and gradually learn the important skills of hunting and communication with all members of the pack.
