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!

Translation: I've hit the nail on the head. When the dog catchers
arrive, no one will have the slightest idea who the Canis X in question
really is, will they? Explain to us how exactly dogs that are 1/4 wolf
and 3/4 German shepherd are less kind and gentle to sheep than a 50-50
mix.
