I am sure interbreeding had nothing to do with the wolves demise...

Alaska’s only wolf-stocking experiment taught biologists the importance of habitat size (they concluded that a 45-square-mile island was too small for both deer and wolves

That's hardly rocket science.

Probably not inbreeding, most if not all of the wolves died off within a few years, ate themselves out of house and home and starved to death

Wolf hair in wolf **** isn’t a sign of interbreeding, it’s a sign of starvation.
