Yeah no you haven't, lol. You had a german shepherd mix with extremely minimal or no wolf in it whatsoever, I'd bet my life on it.
Wolves aren't protective, nor "loyal" by most peoples' standards -- they're timid, aloof and expect YOU to protect THEM and if confronted with anything that might even be a possible threat, they'll **** and/or piss themselves while bolting in the opposite direction.
No such thing as a real wolf that will protect you or your home - just wolfy-looking dogs that people are too ignorant to tell apart from a wolf.
A "loyal" wolf is one that will trust you and you alone to allow you to touch it, and no one else can get close because they're so shy, timid and fearful of new people or experiences.
If someone comes sprinting at you with a machete, they won't bravely put themselves in harm's way to shield you and fend off your attacker -- they'll get outta dodge so fast they may well have teleported leaving nothing behind but a puddle of urine and some strands of fur, lol.

Not that much, especially wolfdogs (wolf and dog mix). You just need a permit because some countries consider it a wild animal.
My step dad had a couple wolf dogs. Very cool animals. But what he understood and what you have to understand is that you have to be dominant with them. Make them know you're the pack leader. First time they bit him, actually snapped at him, he lifted them up by the scruff and flung their asses into his pond. They never acted up after that. And both of them did it right after they'd grown out of the puppy stage.

Your dad had a couple of huskies more like, not wolfdogs.
Any wolfdog of significant content (more than like 20%) is not going to be obedient because you're "da alfa" with it -- if anything they'll be aloof and fearful with you because they don't trust you.
They're not stupid enough to think you're a fellow canine, so when you try to act like how YOU perceive a dominant canine to act, they just see you being an **************** human.
Oh, and FYI, wolfdogs don't submit to dominant dogs; in fact if they're the same sex, you can expect a fight to the death 10 times out of 10.
That's why people keep them in pairs of one male and one female once they reach sexual maturity, no exceptions unless you want to end up burying one of them.
