Hi,
I think that genetics should be first and foremost in any breeding program,not pedigree.Pedigrees can LIE genetics can't.Remember the canine(domestic or Wolf) is more genetically diverse than human and can stand quite long periods of tight genetic breeding-at about 5 generations you MUST add new blood.Consider the GSD and Australian Kelpie both breeds started with one dog and always keeping close to that one dog,but adding new blood judiciously has created 2 of the best working dogs in the world.It would not be impossible to do this with the CzW,given the advances in genetic knowledge,technology and ease of transport which neither of the 2 breeds mentioned had at the time of their creation.You would not even have to add new wolf blood to keep the aspects of wolf you wished to perpetuate.
On another note,domestic dogs brains are only 20-25% tame,the other 80-75% is still wolf.
