Hello, My name is John Yestrebsky from the U.S.A. my wife and I own Arka Z Karlova Doupete.
What a coincidence to have your e-mail appear just as my we are fighting our State Government (Indiana) about the CSV.
It seems that our State considers the CSV to be wildlife and thus does no t recognize its rabies vaccination. This means it is discriminated again st other dogs and must be killed and have its brain examined if it would bite anyone (unlike other dogs with a rabies certificate). The people at the State level basically said it was a matter of the dogs name and that it was not a recognized dog breed by our American Kennel Club. Perhaps the dog breed name should be changed or something as our State is not bas ing it on scientific evidence, but prejudice.
Good luck and any info. you receive may help our case, as we are in the p rocess of fighting this. Basically when people hear "wolfdog" in the Uni ted States they think of wolf-hybrids with direct cross to wolf. I belie ve we will be hiding her breed name from now on until we resolve this iss ue in our State.

Sincerely,

John Yestrebsky
