Czechoslovakian Wolfdog
The Czechoslovakian wolfdog is a hybrid mix between German Shepherd and Carpatrian Wolf from the beginning, which was developed by sir Karel Hartl at the kennel of the border guard in former Czechoslovakia in the year 1955-1958. The breed was recognised nationally in Czechoslovakia in the year 1982, and internationally by F.C.I in the year 1989 at a conference in Helsinki Finland.
The Wolfdog is a very healthy and natural breed as the mix of breeds is still very young. It is light but strong and runs with long natural steps. The lowest height at withers for the male Wolfdog is 65cm, and 60cm for the female, and there is no limit for how big they are allowed to be.
The grown up Wolfdog is often mistaken as a wolf, while the puppy looks more like a grey German Shepherd, although it has standing ears almost already from the beginning. The puppy sometimes have black in its coat but most of it will grow away.
The Wolfdog is not for any dog owner as it requires special training. It is therefore strongly recommended that the owner has previous experience from training dogs. If possible the wolfdog puppy should be walked without a leash from the beginning for the owner to learn how to communicate with it. Leash training can then be used from time to time, to teach the Wolfdog to walk in it when necessary.
