No, the rules did not change and there is definatelly no exception.
This is how DEFRA requires to keep (licensed) wolfdogs:
Quote:
5.2 Standard conditions applied to licences:
(Section 1, subsection 6 (a)-(d))
· the animal(s) shall be kept by no other person than the licensee.
· the animal(s) shall be kept at the licensed premises and shall only be moved in such
circumstances as are specified in the licence.

Clearly, nobody will apply to get a license for his CSW, for the time of vacation or short-termed stay. And no one, in his clear mind, would want to keep CSW permanently in cage or small enclosure for all his life, to satisfy DEFRA´s requirements.
Of all things, I believe that surrending to DEFRA and applying for "wild animal license" for a pedigree dog, such as CSW, would be only supporting their misunderstanding of these dogs.
