sorry, I think I need to jump to this also.
Christian, you say like what Hartl supposedly said is true and the law. You forget several things.
1) Hartl is not an almighty and allknowing god. He might make mistakes. He might believe people who use only his name.
2) Hartl is not owner of the breed. He is one of TWO founders of the breed, the only problem being that people often "forget" to add mr. Rosik. Although both are alive, they are old and they have right for some peace also.
3) If not for breeders in Slovakia, there would be no CsV at all! But is anybody asking the opinion of Slovak club, or of mr. Rosik? Only very few. And they don't keep it at all time before them to support their own views and present them as the views of the founders.
4) FCI does not approve of using different breed or wolves in freshening of blood. It can be used only in case when there are serious problems with health and inbreeding. CsV was accepted under some conditions in 1989 and we had to prove in 1999 that it is a vital and healthy breed, with people interested in them, so it would be accepted definitely. If we couldn't prove it, it would be rejected. Where was Italy at that time? They hardly knew about CsV. So please don't tell that Italians are the saviors of the breed because it is not true.
You are right that we should plan very carefully if we would want to add wolf again to the breed. I agree. But there is no such need at present time and if there was such need, there are plenty of carpathian wolves in zoos around Europe and such thing can be done by carefull planning, and under supervision of breeding commitees (even Slovakia as the guarrant of breed cannot do this on its own). There are many private owners of wolves, so keeping a wolf puppy with some CsVs would surely help so that it doesn't kill the mate when it is adult. And if there is problem with getting CsV females in heat in time of wolf rut, then there are also possibilities of the other way - male CsV and female wolf. But three male wolves were added to the breed in its creation, so there has to be a way, if we really need it.
