A wolf pack can consist of four to forty wolves. Wolves have a strict social order. Wolves in the wild have a five to ten year life span, but wolves in captivity can live for up to twenty years. The alpha female and male wolves usually mate for life.

Why should wolves be allowed in dog shows?

They should not: wolves are not dogs, though they are closely related. But so are foxes, coyotes, and other wild canines. Wolves, however, are not domesticated and cannot be trained like dogs, or fully tamed. In any case, a dog show typically is one in which you show off the breed characteristics of your animal (not relevant for wolves, so no one is selectively breeding wolves for breed characteristics) or their training (i.e., in agility competitions, but no one uses wolves for these either). Therefore, it would not make sense.
