Default Elementary questions

Hi.
As Sanna writes, this may be a question of importance.
As both the Swedish and the Norwegian Governments accept the FCI
regulations, the F5 generation of a wolf/dog cross is regarded as pure breed.
The Saarloos wolfhounds kept in Norway are verified F7. What about the
F-number(s) of the present Czechoslovakian Wolfdogs?

Even so, the Swedisk Kennel Club in its press release states:
- The Board of the Swedish Kennel Club has decided that two different types
of socalled wolf hybrids, i.e. crosses between wolf and dog, neither will
be allowed registration or participation in activities arranged by the
Swedish Kennel Club - even though the wolf hybrids have been recognized
outside Sweden. The basis for the decision is that two dog breeds that can
be regarded as wolf hybrids, have been accepted for registration in the
FCI (Federation Internationale Cynelogique). FCI is the international
kennel organisation of which the Swedish Kennel Club is a member. In
general the Swedish Kennel Club recognizes dog breeds recognized by FCI.
The decision constitutes a divergence from normal practise.

Please note that the SKK consistently is misnaming the two breeds as hybrids.
