No, I don't. I think the authorities in your country, in Norway and the UK do not want to legitimise the breed for totally different reasons, which are hard to be formulated in legal terms. It's easier for them to use artificial arguments about wolfblood and play "fools" in genetics, than admit openly: "we're afraid that CSV breeding might fall into hands of dishonest & irresponsible, greedy people, "wolf maniacs" who will start producing unpredictable wolf hybrids and our country will start having problems similar to those there are in the US". No institution could make an official statement like this, i.e. accuse the citizens of POTENTIAL dishonesty and ill will.

It was explained earlier - this is pure maths. Nothing to do with the dogs' behaviour or features of character. Almost every dog can be matched with a wolf, so their genotypes must be very much alike. Exactly like Pavel, I don't understand WHY this unfortunate wolfblood percentage causes so much excitement! The authorities should be more concerned with the problems of dogs bred for dog fighting or mistreated by their owners.

I agree. But where is the problem then? 30% or 5% - does it matter at all if ALL dogs are 99% wolfish?
Personally I'm internally convinced CSVs are a few-percent wolves in behaviour and 70-75% or even more in appearance
Who dares to disagaree with me?
