@ Christian:
to some extend you are right. But only to some.
The CsW is a recognised breed, bred on purpose according to a standard which had to be approved as well as the dogs themselves.
This standard and the actions of the breeding comitee were supposed to insure that this breed was started (an later continued) within 4 registred wolf crossings. Even those animals were considered and brought in intentionally according to the needs AND in agreement with the majority of representatives for this breed.

ANY other way to cross breed with any wolf cannot be acceptable as it would open the breed to a mixture due to the thoughts of this or that breeder, only. But then the csw cannot be called FCI recognised breed anylonger.

IF one wants a dog according to a certain breed standard they should be able to recognise this particular breed by the accompanying documents.
IF one does not care which breed their (future) dog belongs to they also should be made aware that they just have decided to buy a mix - which certainly restricts some perspectives like becoming a breeder themselves of the breed they actually wanted but decided otherwise. But they will most certainly get a dog they will hopefully love...

There is nothing wrong with people who want ANY wolf look-alike, and this is what Mutara seems to be, another wolf-look-alike mixture bred in a csw kennel - nothing less.

IF some people like these dogs - allright. But there is no need that the officials recognise them as csw - which now has been made clear by the comitee. Nothing is worse than not knowing what you deal with, now everyone knows and may act accordingly.

You say live and let live: allright.
But to keep the acknowledgement as a breed the CsW needs to be distanced from any other wolf look-alike...

I am glad that the comitee now has decided, even if this decission might come hard on some of the owners.

PS: Nevertheless, you and the other who said you need to know what they are doing and not hide them... are right. Therefore I think the comitee has planned to mark them in data bases - if I understood correctly
