Then how come they can still reproduce without any problem? I mean, the genus Panthera can also interbreed to a degree, but the resulting offspring is usually infertile or only partially fertile, the same with mules, but dog-wolf offspring don't (seem to) have this problem.

Because when they split they took their reproductive systems with them. So they still have the same number of chromosomes and stuff.
