Mikael I think you are mistaken, in the history of breeding of CSW, after the F3 generation most of the pairing was between CSW, not back to GSD (and there were actually also couple of pairings back to wolves Argo, Sarik and F1 Kazan). The "blood percentage" is indeed around 25% in all CSW, but of course due to rigorous selection the CSW do not behave as typical 25% wolf-content "hybrids" would.

The wolf-blood content is a number saying something meaningful only to the lovers of Jack London (I am still proudly one of them) and other romantic literature, it
is something we like about our dogs, as we love their looks, but any responsible owner and breeder still puts at least as much (if not more) stress on the dog's character and behavior.
Other than that, no sane person uses this number, just as no sane person counts how much blood of Atilla the Hun is in any Hungarian. Physical and character traits are after all not passed from generation to generation by blood, but by oocytes and sperm.
