According to this calculation, she has almost 30% wolf blood. Is this true? It seems a bit high for a vlcak so many generations away, with so many GSDs in the foundation of the breed. I would think her actual inheritance of wolf blood would be about 3% at most?

Yes it is true, I did not believe it at first, as the American Wolfdog is 50% at generation 1 and 25 % at generation 2... = /2 for every generation....

But CsV was not breed like AWD, as allot of ( CsV ) and ( Hybrids ) was mix whit each other (and also whit wolf.)

You can se here on Blood line nr 4, GSD is not used at all...

Bloodline No 4
Breeding year :1972

Origin: Bratislava section of the border guard near Malacky
Responsible breeder: Vice Commander Major Frantisek Rosik

Male Wolf: Carpatian Wolf, Sarik

Female Hybrid: Generation F3 , Xela Z Pohranicni Straze ,
from Bloodline No 1

Female Wolfdog: Urta ZZ Pohranicni

You can look here on Hronsek >>> http://www.amicale-chien-loup-tchecoslovaque.com/cgi-bin/wolf_blood.py?dog_id=9076

Look at "Shortest distance" to Wolf, it say 7 generations.
Look at "Shortest distance" to GSD, it say 8 generations.

One must also remember if you mix 30% CsV to 30% CsV the puppy´s will be 30 % to, but one more generation from wolf....

30+30=60/2 = 30% wolf blood

but as in AWD, if you mix whit dog that has 0% wolf blood, it will look like this...

50% hybrid X dog 0% = 50+0=50 /2 = 25 % wolf blood.

But remember it is just mathematically and the breeding selection and generations make a AWD at 25% and CsV on 25% not the same thing, as it might be 7 generation of selection on CsV but only 2 on the AWD.
