No...
Some time ago there were breeders in Czech Republic which bred according the rule "It doesn't matter how the dog looks like. It is only important it is huge". The results was GSD looking dogs which do not had the advantages of a wolf. Some (very few) obsolete breeders still follow this rule
But it changed.
And there are other reasons why large dogs are not prefered by the well-known breeders from origin countries:
1) There are much more important resons that "I don't like large dogs so I will put in the bonitation "typical are average dogs"". The Slovak people organize every year endurance runs (40, 70 and 100 km). We make the same in Czech Republic. And to be honest: there is huge problem with endurance by large dogs. In the fact I can say almost all large dogs have problems to pass the 40 km exam. I even know dogs which had problems to pass the 20 km run. So in the most cases dogs which are very big violate the standard which says "Plein de tempérament, très actif, endurant, réceptif, rapide dans ses réactions,".
2) The same is with working abilities. The best working Czechoslovakian Wolfdogs of this breed have average height because biggier dogs are to slow and to "lazy" for protection work and obedience. Best examples are males: Baker (68 cm), Gar (67 cm), Hasso (68 cm), Kelt (67 cm) and females: Canis (61,5 cm), Ira (64 cm), Abra (61 cm) or Esta (65 cm). And almost all dogs whith working certificates have less then 70 cm. And it is also one of the most important reasons because working with CzWs is "in" now.
3) And what is much more important for owners - huge dogs have much often problems with penn hips (HD), elbows (ED) and with other problems by growth which are usualy typical for molos breeds. There are sometimes whole litter where both parents are "heavy" the sometimes more than 50% of the puppies have middle or strong HD...
I don't want to say that all large dog are ill, lazy, ugly or something like this.
If someone will pass the endurance run with his dog and also get good notes from experts than it doesn't matter that the dog is very high. Because it is still typical and it will be appreciated. I have also very high dog which was for a very long time the biggest here (luckily not the heaviest
) so I pay attention to problems with such dogs and in the fact the three points I described are reasons why people in CZ, SK or even Germany dog not breed large wolfdogs....
