100% German Shepherds aren't kind and gentle to sheep.  Why would you expect 
one 50% or 25% to be kind and gentle, part wolf or part anything else?  GS 
dogs are the most likely to be found running lifestock than most other 
breeds.  Not a very good example.

BTW, most hybrids are husky and malamute crosses.

And, if your dog catcher isn't some rube who only got the job because he 
took a generic county employment test, s/he should be able to tell the 
difference between a wolf, a hybrid and a German Shepherd.  If not, he 
should get into another line of work!
