The main goal of this den is to have a balance between keeping strong, well-explored hunting wolves and producing + selling medium-high quality pups! Trying my best to accomplish this :)
Rank Key:
Alpha: Leader and most dominant wolf in the pack. (Current: Vulture, Planned Heir: Torgos)
Beta: Secondary leader and 2nd most dominant wolf in the pack. (Current: Shrike, Planned Heir: Thrasher)
Primary Hunter: Best hunters in the pack, used frequently for exploring.
Secondary Hunter: Second best hunters in the pack, used slightly less frequently while exploring.
Scout: Explore wolves that fall behind the hunters and require more training -- a minimum of 1 scout is brought along for exploring at all times.
Stud: Male wolves kept for breeding purposes (*Are put up for public/commercial breeding)
Dam: Female wolves kept for breeding purposes (*Are not put up for public/commercial breeding)
In Training: Younger or new wolves who are not yet established in rank due to age/inexperience.
I keep track of my alphas and betas via "Eras" -- Every alpha+beta change is marked as an "Era". If my current alpha or beta dies or is otherwise no longer present in the pack, the remaining alpha/beta resigns from their position, and a new era begins with the planned heirs. (* "X" marks an ended era, M/F stands for Male/Female, A/B stands for Alpha/Beta)
Era 0 - Solar(MA) and Raven*Formerly Eclipse(FB) X
Era 1 - Vulture(FA) and Shrike(MB) [Current]
