Oh Lord with all respect to Thorin if you use wolves don't use 2Star ones they will steamroller almost everything breed like rats and take over the countryside in a meadows environment. (Ask me how I know!)
1 Star wolves can just about take a Grey dwarf brute and live but this means that you will loose a few now and again the population remains semi stable.

Problem is with that is that stiff raid like "Foul smell from the swamp" will put a huge dent in the 1 star wolf population whereas would barely kill one or two 2 Star chaps...

I only released my 2 Stars to the wild because of the initial Seeker raids - which they have now rescinded! Now may have to wipe them all out just to prevent: as said above "the place looking like a junk yard"

Well, I was using 2 stars, but only began breeding them seriously the moment I thought it would be fun to have them help me attack Yagluth. (with regards of that, I had to many 2*wolves and did only 2 hits before he went down).

The trick is to keep the numbers down.

I've bred a total of eight 2* wolves at my main base at the meadows.
Six of those were kept indoors, the other two travelled along to my plains base.
I have been breeding a few over there until I had 4-6; can't remember the exact numbers.
After that I had to collect the meat every morning, but in general my population remained steady.

But yes, the junk can be overwhelming, I admit that.
