Dholes typically have litters of four to six pups at a time. The females usually give birth once a year, after a two-month gestation period. The young stay with their parents until they reach maturity at about two years old.

Dholes typically have litters of 4-6 pups, although litters of up to 12 have been reported. The breeding season of dholes varies across their range, but it generally occurs in the winter months. Dhole pups are born blind and helpless, and they are cared for by the entire pack. The young dholes reach sexual maturity at around one year of age, and they may disperse from their natal pack to form or join other packs.

Dholes (Cuon alpinus) typically give birth to litters of around 4 to 6 pups on average, but litter sizes can range from 1 to 12 pups. The exact number of young dholes can vary depending on factors such as the availability of prey, the health and condition of the mother, and the environmental conditions. Female dholes usually give birth to their pups in dens, which are often located in dense vegetation or abandoned burrows. The pups are born blind and helpless, and they rely on their mother for care and nourishment. The mother dhole provides milk and takes care of the pups until they are old enough to join the pack in hunting and other activities. Dhole pups undergo a period of rapid growth and development. They start to venture out of the den at around 6 to 8 weeks of age, gradually learning and participating in social interactions and hunting with the rest of the pack. As they grow older, they become more independent but still rely on the pack for survival and socialization. The size and composition of dhole packs can vary, but they generally consist of the dominant breeding pair, their offspring from different generations, and sometimes non-breeding adults. The pack members work together to raise the young and ensure the survival and success of the pack as a whole.
