Hi, basically the wolfdogs do howl, but not very frequently. It also depends on the dog. For example my bitch used to howl sometimes and not from loneliness (as we were at home). She once even howled when there was a fight between dogs and she couldn't interfere. When we had a dog for mating with her, they howled together, it was very beautiful.
CsWs are not smaller that german shepherds, but they are lighter built. Some wolfdogs (especially bitches) are quite small, but as mentioned above, they have to be higher than 60 cm, which is 23.62 inches. But there is no upper limit, so the males and females also may be bigger than GSD.
CsW can be used for protection, they are not timid if brought up properly. They are great dogs for a very wide range of work, but it is required that the owner don't expect them to learn on their own. Because learn they will, only not what you expect, if you don't teach them.
