No, the phenotype registration only needs a dog that looks like a CSW. There are registered Mutaras and others. Wolfdog only has them as mixes if they know they are.
Originally registration was a good thing for breeds like for example the Picard which has not so many FCI-registered dogs but there are still working dogs with shepherds without pedigrees.

Is phenotype registration still available? Why would it still be available for a breed already fully recognized (ie., not provisional) by the FCI and its comprising kennel clubs?

Marcy, were you alluding to the AKC's FSS' take on registering dogs with no known parents so long as the dog physically resembles said breed? That's effectively an open stud book and that that worries me too ...

Yes, it is available in the FCI but the Slovakian Club decided not to accept registered dogs and doesn´t register as far as I know.
But it can´t be prevented that other countries register them and that was how the Mutaras got into breeding. http://www.wolfdog.org/deu/dbase/d8668.html
It would make sense in the case of dogs like Amber to get a paternal DNA for proof and than at least give informations in the registry-papers but the parents and other ancestors don´t show up in the papers. So all information is lost.
I don´t think registration is bad in general if it is handled with paternal proof or like in the case of the Picard helps to get more dogs into the breeding gene pool but it gets a big problem with mixes or parents that didn´t fullfill the the breeding rules by failing the health tests that are required.
