Wolves will typically be one of the first friendly animals a new player encounters in Minecraft. They can be a valuable early game ally against monsters and are easy to tame. Having many wolves can keep you and your livestock safe. Breeding them is a simple task.

How To Breed Wolves

First, if you haven’t, you must tame two wolves. To tame wolves, all you have to do is collect some bones, which fall off skeletons when they are slain. They can be pretty gnarly foes if you aren’t prepared properly, so definitely be careful. Once you’ve collected the bones, give enough to a wolf until hearts form over their head and a red collar shows up on their neck. Keep in mind it can sometimes take more than one bone to work, so bring a few. Once tamed, they will continually follow you unless directed to sit somewhere.

When you have at least two tamed, sit them together side by side and feed them both meat. It can be raw or cooked. They will then do a circle kind of dance together and spawn a baby wolf. The process is as simple as that. Breeding lots of wolves is a priceless benefit that will protect you and your village from monster attacks.
