Studys, that 1/3 is genetic, 1/3 is socialization by breeder and 1/3 is new owner? Yes, of course Prof. Dr. Feddersen-Petersen from the university in Kiel studyed that thing and she wrote a book called "Hundepsychologie". She is one of the most famous german dog and wolf people. She made examination on wolves, hybrids and dogs.
Hi Edit, I don´t know what you want, I say your dogs have good character but they are kind of hard to handle. But please confirm is it not true that your dogs don´t get socialization on people only on dogs? I mean socialization on children, man and woman, in house noises and everything. And Edit, sorry to say, but there are a "few" people who are talking about your dogs that they have not good character and are shy. Don´t you know it? It is no matter who many csw you saw and get grown up. It is the quality of what people see. And a csw is not a wolf! He can look a like but he have to behave like a dog. The standard doesn´t want shy csw! Sure you are right, you can do what you want, but please don´t be angry if people are talking about the behaviour. It doesn´t come only by the look of the dog but also of the behaviour. And a dog must be able to live in a house and can take everywhere. That is my opinion, everyone can see it like he wants.
There are csw who come from breeders which have lots of csw. But they behave like dogs and look like wolf and are not shy. So that is the proof that it is possible.
