Direwolves

Tyler: It's now been 12 years since Tatiana our Kennelmaster returned with us with enough direwolves to start breeding, 3 females and a male. What's the reasonable number of dogs that we might now have? My guess is our hounds can get pregnant at 2.5 years of age and produce an average of 7.6 puppies each litter until they're 7. The Swedes recommend that you not have more than 5 litters per dog. You guys took two as familiars. So, for each female we have having puppies in 12 years... a conservative estimate would be 38. We might start selling them to covenants. Or we might use them to form a tremendous direwolf army.

Patrick:  Since the two who are familiars became such before breeding age, I'll let them/their magi decide how much doggy style they have gotten up to. Assuming no holds barred, we will have 20 dire wolves of varying ages, minus 5 if Colette didn't breed and minus all of them if Silvanus's familiar (whose name I can't remember) wasn't allowed to stud.

Tatiana notes that dire wolves typically have between 1 and 5 puppies per litter.
