And if somebody want to cross pure breed with wild animal, its no sense do it privat. And if somebody want to create new breed, must have a good project for it, all arguments why, and how, then is never more problem, because then get a special permission and nobody will counting a "wolfblood percentage".

You don´t understand, or you do not want to?

CSW is normally recognised dog breed by FCI. UK is not member of FCI, therefore they don´t care, which dog breeds FCI recognises or not. Imagine, that world does not end with borders of FCI! So if in UK they decide they don´t recognise a breed, that´s it.

On the other side, I spoke about the UK problem few days ago with my husband, who actually happens to know the DEFRA guys, who are responsible for the CSW problem. And surprise surprise, they say there is no problem with CSW in UK! They told him they do realise, CSW is a breed and they have no problem with the dogs comming to UK or staying.

Which makes me think, that the whole circurs about CSW´s being banned in UK was only Paul Winder´s trick, how to be in the middle of attention and how to be the first one (and only one) to have CSW in UK.

This whole debate about wolf percentage is then absolutely irrelevant. There was never a problem in bringing CSW into UK and no problem with wolf blood percentage (which is complete nonsense, anyways).

However, as we learned recently very disturbing news about Pacino´s kennel, it is very possible, that the problems with DEFRA or the breed be really banned can now happen easily. And frankly, I would not be surprised at all.
