It is fully recognized by the FCI; while it is a national breed of the former Czechoslovakia, it's patronage country is now Slovakia, although the Czech breeding commission works very closely as well. I don't know if it is "the" official breed in either country.

The breed was created with a working purpose in mind, not just as a "wolf look-alike". It is not considered a "low content wolfdog" in the US - according to Humane Society policy, anything beyond F5 (generation 5 after wolf breeding) is only a dog - current CSVs in the US are all a few generations beyond F5. In reality, they still carry some wolfish influence in temperament, and looks, obviously.
If you look under "History" on this website, you will also find some info.

Thank you, most of the information I get is from the UK sites, so the information I have is probably old and (considering the sources) wrong. I knew that CSV was created for a working purpose, I hope I didn't make it seem like it wasn't. I just wanted to mention other breeds that people might come across in their search. Thanks for the information
