History of this breed

Originally from Czechoslovakia, at the time in the USSR, the Czechoslovakian Wolfdog is the result of the cross between a Carpathian wolf and a German Shepherd, hence his name of Wolfdog.

He is a very recent breed that resulted from a particular genetic experience. This biological test was attempted in the 1950s by the Czech army in order to create a dog capable of protecting the country's borders.

Many attempts were made and it was thus clearly established that the crossbreed dog/wolf was possible as was obtaining descendants and training them well. Once the experiment was over, around 1965, a breeding project was created in order to combine the qualities of the wolf and the aptitudes of the dog.

It was in 1982 that the breed was officially recognized by the committee of breeders' associations of the USSR and it was in 1999 that the FCI (Fédération Cynologique Internationale) recognized him in turn.

It is also one of the only two wolfdog breeds that the FCI still recognizes today, the other being the Saarloos Wolfdog.

This utility dog ​​is very popular as a guard dog or simply as an alarm system. The Czechoslovakian Wolfdog is an excellent alarm dog, and his almost wolf-like appearance is often enough to deter intrusion by malicious people.
