Maybe because they were bred to resemble wolves? And as any stable dog breed, the CSW has logically the desired markings, shape and coat length etc. to fit the standard (which requires the dogs to resemble wolves). So when you take two CSW´s and mate them together, surprise, you get again CSW who resemble wolves..

The question is a bit like if you ask, how it comes, that when you breed labradors, after years they still look like labradors, even that you did not add anything else into the breed.

One thing is true, though. If you do not choose the breeding animals carefully, if you don´t care about genetics, standard and health, you can soon end up with CSW´s, who resemble jackals, coyotes or GSD´s. But not wolves. And all that even without jackals, coyotes or GSD´s added!
