It is not quite that simple with genetics: After many generations of breeding within a closed population you can't say that these dogs still have 30 % wolf blood. Otherwise all dogs would still be simply wolfs - but they are not - and the wolf has evolved into a dog. The same process is happening with our wolf dogs. Even with the first hybrid generations within a same litter there can be pups almost wolfs and another ones almost dogs. It depends on what genes they have inherited. In later generations all pups will begin to be all similar to each other and that's when they are no hybrids any more. And because of our selective breeding they are getting more and more dogs. You can see this in both FCI Wolf dog breeds CsV and Saarloos. These dogs are, if pure bred, typical Saarloos or typical CsVs - not some crosses between Wolf and dog.
