Exactly, science says if you select only on the marker tameness you will have "dogs" in a litter of F3, but not that the whole litter will show that kind of character. The military did an extremely hard selection on character and had to do this much longer than F3, the first character-test was made with 8 weeks and all dogs showing shy behaviour were killed. But I still got to know some genetic wolflike-shy CSW about 10-13 years ago, though none today.
And we should remember that this kind of shyness means permanent livelong stress to the creature, for me a kind of abuse.
But anyway this is OT, after decades of breeding without wolves crossed in the wolfpercentage only is a number that will not change out of mathamatical reason, nothing else.
