Or really anything else from what I have heard from dog breeders. Apparently, according to one of the breeders, the wolf side can appear without warning making them unpredictable and unmanageable for anyone other than an expert dog handler.
The animal needs to know it is in an inferior social status in the "pack". Some owners, frequently women, let their dog think it is the leader, not the person. These dogs will bite to show their dominance with a bad owner. The problem with reintroducing wolf genes is that the animal may be more likely to challenge the owner as the "pack" leader unexpectedly. They aren't docile like a golden retriever.
