How do you get pups in wolfquest 2

you find a mate in amethyst mountain (by fighting a wolf out of each territory then you find a dispersal male/female) and save the game and press new game and go back on. (btw sorry the answer is so long!) you find a den in slough creek (green spots on the map- they are in the middle) then mark. after you have marked, you find pups! (keep at least 3 alive!) although i ended up with 1 once! >:O
