Breeding

Breeding is one of the main parts of LorWolf, utilizing the current 6 breeds, 18 patterns, and 201 colors. Two wolves can breed by accessing a wolf's profile and pressing Start Breeding. This will bring up a new page showing the wolf you selected and all of your other wolves that you have the option of breeding with down below. Each time you select a new wolf, the page will automatically generate four random images of the possible outcomes their pups can have. You can generate a new set of pups by pressing Refresh, or you can proceed with this pairing by pressing Start Breeding.

Once two wolves breed, the female wolf will go into pregnancy for 72 hours, and can then be sent to the Nest for 24 hours, which the new pups will then be born. A wolf can give birth to anywhere from 2 to 4 pups at a time. Both parents go into breeding cooldown at the time of breeding.

Wolves that are too closely related cannot breed; each wolf must be separated by at least 5 generations. While previewing two wolves in the Demo system's Puppy Predictor, you can see more of their puppy outcomes, the color range of their patterns, and, it will notify you if your wolves are too closely related.

Pup growth (7 days), pregnancy (72 hours), and nesting (24 hours) are the same length of time across all breeds
