Hi,

I've tried VERY hard to get FACTS from the authorities in Sweden about this matter. The other day I found the current law that says that first and second generation wolves/dogs from outer EU is not allowed, others are not restricted. Today I got a mail from the Agricultural Department where they say that they will not allow dogs/wolves from first to fourth generation, but if you can present a pedegree from fifth generation and forth they regard it as dog and there is no restriction whatsoever but what is stated for import of dogs in general.

I have written back asking for the exact laws - hopefully I'll get them, but that is what I know for facts at the moment. Friends of mine here in Sweden and others who I know of "owns" mixed dogs of wolf and dog without any problems, and they have no pedegree as they are considered crossings, "streetdogs". Some of them are half wolves. Authorities are eager to spread that Sweden has very restricted laws about these dogs, but that is not true.

Are there any Saarlos or CSW of less "dog status" than fifth generaton? And doesn't they all have pedigree?
