Youre right Meisel, an estimated 30% wolfblood might have more wolfs genes than a 40% wolf. So percentages might be misleading. Number of generations back to the pure founders and selection matters a lot. Also the estimated percentage to some degree; it is more wolfblood in a 75% F2, than in a 10% F6. But exact numbers arent possible to measure.

2 recommended articles that explain this in detail:
