This is a good first attempt, but there are some things that definately need to be changed.
If a wolf is running, or anything is running, really, their spine wont stay perfectly straight. It'll bend to bring the hind legs farther up to push themselves forward.
The legs are also seemingly stiff, and dont move much. If it were running the legs would be brought up fairly high, with the first joint of the front legs (The 'wrists') bending then extending as they landed.
Also, the paws are straight down, so it looks like it's not hitting the ground at all. They should be flat when they hit the ground.
And, adding back onto the legs. They shouldn't all be moving in unison. That would only really work if the wolf was jumping, but if it was running, it would have a completely different pattern. Maybe looking up references of running wolves or just other running cycles will help with the pattern.
The movement of the animation is good, though. Maybe trying to make it less sketchy next time?
