Hi,
I recently joined to post a reply on this subject.First I want to say I admire the people of your country and others that work with their CZWD and I wish more people would work with WD's in my country,the USA.
I am a former military dog handler,then trained and handled area security dogs.After retiring from the military I started raising wolfdogs.When I saw their physical and mental ability I started breeding to create one that will work.I saw a animal that everyone who handled dogs in the vietnam war had a desire for.I crossed a wolf with GSD but the pups were still weak nerved.I than crossed one with a very dominate Alaskan Huskey bred to work and the pups have very strong nerves.I protection trained two of these pups and they do very well.They will bite if they feel threatned or the handler is threatned.They have a very hard bite but they must know it is for real.No sport.
I than took a male and bred it to a dominate female wolf.Now I have 71.5% F1 pups that are very trainable.These pups are fearless and I have found nothing that spooks them.I am training one female for search & rescue.She has picked up commands faster than any dog I have worked with.In the woods she is amazing,Silent,slow and very serious she misses nothing and has airscented and found human decoys over a 1/4 mile away in thick forest.I say no dog can match a wolf in scenting,tracking or trailing.
I would like to address the statement:"Science is now revealing the domestic dog has evolved a genetic capability to recognize humal gestures and intonations of voice,an ability not possessed by the wolf".I say this is a false statement.Anyone who has wolves or high % wolfdogs will tell you different.They are in tune with their owners more than a dog and many believe they have a extra sense.We don't talk about it much because people who do not know these animals can't understand.They are experts at reading humans or other animals.
In my country there are many predjudces against wolfdogs,Rabies vaccination,kid killers,can't be trained,It is like fighting a windmill.
I have found they must be trained and handled different than a dog.
