Wild "dogs" such as wolves and dingos that are pack animals pursue beeing the alpha male when they are adult. I recognize the fact that they would never challenge the Alpha Male as you are obviously to big and too strong. Juvenile Dogs never challenge. That is the distinction between tame and wild. Wolf puppies are "tame" untill they grow up.

Half wild dogs such as you describe grow up to be adults and develop a desire to be the Alpha male or short of that to be the beta male of the pack.

However with 160 years of selective breeding, if any effort was given to breeding tame into them they will have received many juvenile traits by now. (it took Russian fox farmers from 1960 to the late 1980's (21 or 22) generations to breed tame foxes.)

Feral is totally the wrong term it implies tame gone wild.
