To whom are you explainnig to your wife or to your two dogs? If you mean your dogs, I can only shake my head because it seems to me as if you know nothing about dogs, wolves and their behaviour! In a pack of dogs and/or wolves is everytime a leader a dominant one who "says" what is going on. To try to explain to them that all members of the pack are equal and should behave like this, is like trying to fly with a aeroplane to the moon. Do you really want to invent new rules for being together with dogs?
What will happen if you act like this? Your dogs will show you who is the boss. As Nanouk is saying and the others too, your dogs are so young, please let them be adult and then think over new things. You have to wait til 2,5-3 years and then you will find out how they interact. I am wondering about getting into heat by a 10 month young csw although you have an oldert female in the house. It seems to me, that the young lady will become the leader of the pack. Normally a young female will get into heat more later if there is an older female in the house. These could be signs that in your house is in the moment no real leader even you are not!
And to say you will breed with Nuts, she is so young, you don´t know how she will develop. You have to x-ray her hips, you have to do shows and judges have to confirm that she is in the standard and good enough for breed. A real breeder would do this first.
And of course the most people who have more than 2 csw have different kennels and seperate them otherwise they bite each other for fighting for the lead! I don´t think that this is what you mean with you modern art of live or what you have written. That is reality. It will be stress and you have to have a lot of power to manage it. You have to have an eye for the next fighting if you would like to prevent it. You have to be able to read your dogs.
Your words seem very unexperienced and not really from a world of csw, lupo italiano and wolves and of course simple dogs.
Sorry, for my open words, but I don´t like if animals have to suffer because people don´t think in reality but only in their wishes and dreams.
