HW equilibrium means no selective pressures like the long, snowy winters selectively favoring the white coat phenotype over the other coat phenotypes. Selective pressures change the relative frequencies of the alleles in the gene pool.
It also means the population does not have either immigration or emigration to change the ratios of alleles in the gene pool
The Hardy-Weinberg principle of genetic equilibrium tells us what to expect when a sexually reproducing population has no selection pressure, no gene flow, no nonrandom mating, not even genetic drift.

Answer:
A null model of the association between the allelic and genotypic frequencies both within and between the generations, under the expectations of no migration, no mutation, no selection, infinite size of the population, and random mating is known as Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium.
The wolf population is not considered in a Hardy-Weinberg population as the population of wolves always remains in the state of migration, and there will be an occurrence of natural selection. For a population to be in a Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium there should be no migration and events of natural selection taking place.
