I think two issues are being mixed here:
1. the genetics
2. the distance from the last "fresh" wolf blood insertion, which has nothing to do with genetic calculations or percentages.
I don't belive people in DEFRA are that ignorant as to think that after 100 generations of matching CSV with CSV the GSD's genes would be earased from them, so why should the wolf's be? Maybe they think that if for several generations the dogs "behaved themselves" it would mean the 'wilderness' in them was tamed, but this argument is even more absurd in the light of the possibility of breeding "dangerous" breeds and the fact that even the Yorshire terrier may be a wild beast if badly socialised and treated.
I think DEFRA people don't want to legitimize the breed for totally different reasons, which I think I understand now better than before.
Still, it has nothing to do with allowing CSVs to travel to or to live in the UK to which there are no barriers other than for other breeds/dogs.
