Dear Sanna,
I have only shortly comment to very often opinion, which is wrong in basic.

Quote:
As I have begun studying this dog I´ve found that there is a very close relationship to the wolf, often 25-35% wolf blood, wich makes me believe that they are not as humanly manipulated as othter breeds and more like natures own design.
% of wolfblood have nothing to do with a domestication or character. We can teoretically breeding now only with dogs which have a relatively high % of wolfblood and we will have after 100 years always over 30% but the dogs will be absolutely domesticated and like you wrote "humanly manipulated". Lot of people means, that higher % of wolfblood is automaticaly higher % of wolf behaviour. But its not true. Genetics have nothing to do with % of blood. % of blood is mathematic only.
You can see, that our most succesfull working wolfdog - Hasso z Kladenske zare have over 27% of wolfblood and is in work more usefull, than some other, they have under 10%. Just in first generations after first crossing the wolf with GSD were some very good working dogs and some absolutely "wolves". Its a basic argument, why really % of wolfblood have no conection with a behaviour.

Hopefully you´ll help me to be enlightened about these beautiful and amazingly wolflike dogs.
Thank you for compliments to our dogs. The best chance to know more about our dogs is visit some our summer camps. There you can be with dogs 14 days 24 hours. You are welcome.
