It can be made on a very easy way - if you would redefine the criterions for the groups as elf suggested and divide the dogs in lines of more recent dogs comming from CZ and SK. Such groups can be followed not only in CZ and SK but also in other countries (as the most dogs abroad were imported after 1995).
In such case every country can care for its "own" lines but at the same moment to follow the guidelines valid for the whole population.

So if there is the possiblity that both origin clubs will define for example 20 groups - Czech club will follow for example 8 of them, Slovaks 5, France and Italy also 5, Germany 3. Some lines will agree with each other. Some will be "specific" for a country.
Thanks to this we would not have the situation when in Czech Republic has 8 groups, Slovaks less and the rest of Wolfdogs are bred according no rules - pure chaos. But we would get 20 different lines. We can reach something what Slovak and Czech Club is not able to reach working alone and only for "themselves"...

I made some researches checking ancestors in all CSV pedigrees, I found again about how the "old groups" were built, it's the same method used but ancestors troncated at birth around 1980. I did the same with ancestors birth from severals dates (each year from 1980->2000), I put the files for you to check here: CSV Lines

I think we can start with 1990 file, and check if fulfill the needs, then makes some adjustments if needed.

I put 'weight' parameter in first column to let you see the relative importance between eachother dogs. From this list we can hopefully build new groups valid for every country.
