I really wouldn’t know, I’m not an expert in genetics… I guess that a breed has the genes that are passed with the breeding: the genes bringing the traits you breed for are passed, the others are lost. Since in the beginning they bred for character more than for wolfy appearance, it wouldn’t surprise me if the genes of the German Shepherd had taken the upper hand. This matter makes me curious, I think I should test my dog and see, but I’m not really expecting to find much wolf blood in him. Then again, maybe I’m wrong… I’m just wondering, since I can’t see much wolf in the AVERAGE Czechoslovakian wolfdog. Of course there are exceptions
