They told me that after reading all about the breeding of this dog, that even a 1% would not even stop it's importation.

Hi!
F1 at F10, wen I see the CzW is from F3-F4(you can see this in the database of the site), 1% is problem per DEFRA in law (only paper) and probably they acepted animais whit more percentage whitout problems, but CzWs not have only 1% Wolfblood, they has normaly 19% at 30% Wolfblood, I belive that at 5% pass whitout problems, because is much little percentage (is not "much" significant), but 21% or 27% is one big diference, and is the most comom percentage in the CzWs.
this is write by DEFRAs law, look:

"The conclusion of his report was that even an animal with a wolf genetic representation of less than 1% would not be Canis familiaris, since it would still have a large number (over 100) of wolf genes present. (Bruford, 1997)."

5% at 40% is considered "low content", I belive that THIS is the problem.
Wen you arrive whit the dog, the valid is that is write in the paper (DREFRA law), not that one or other ( just veterinarians) say.
