The legs for me (when drawing pit bulls) are as long as the back and the tail is about 75% as long as the back

It seems to work well

Well, you see the reason everyone always tells you to look at a reference is that the model right there. Most people when picturing off the top of their head, can't remember all the details nor the perfect proportions. That's why using references and even just doing a couple of sketch studies of the animal without your style will help in the long run. I once had a character that I could never draw right and he was a Rusty-Spotted cat, so I did five studies of them using images from google. By analyzing the images you can see how their bodies form, in the case of certain animals that have recognizable coats you can also learn that. I think that even looking at the skeleton structure and muscle structure of a wolf could help you just as much as photos of them. I recommend doing studies both in color and on paper as well as using digital programs. If you take a full body reference photo of a wolf and export it into your drawing software you can make a new layer and trace the skeleton in one color and the muscles in another. I know that it might not be what you're asking for, but even tutorials by other artists, even professionals, won't show you the most accurate proportions like a photo of the animal can. Hope this helps even just a little bit. By the time you start drawing wolves in your style again, they will end up much more accurate.

Eyes, draw a circle.with light pencil.marks. draw a slightly curved line that crosses over a small of the top part of the circle, the right end curved slightly, the left end curved down to the center of the eye at a triangle with curved sides, the point then followed along the bottom of the circle till it vanishes, on the right side of the circle, pointed downward, you form a curved tip of a triangle that dips back up and joins the bottom of the circle, in the middle of the circle you draw a much smaller circle, add shadows and shines and you have the makings of an eye for a realistic like wolf, I made a picture ofof what my explanation SHOULD look like since I'm not good at explaining, I also added some fur so you see where the fur goes close up on the eye, gimme a moment to get the picture uploaded and linked!

For necks is it length or curvature?

Curvature should be depending on the position of the head compared to the shoulders

Length should be about half the length of the back (it works for me)
