This was the reply I received sometime ago when asking a local council near where I live. So it looks as though although some councils are wiser this one isn't.

I'm not sure if it is the actual council my area is govened by but it is one in the same region.

Dear Sir or Madam

Thank you for your enquiry.

I would advise that due to the wolf ancestry of the Czechoslovakian Wolfdog I would expect anyone owing such an animal to also possess a Dangerous Wild Animals Act Licence. I also understand that it was once a registered a breed with the Kennel Club, but is has now been deregistered due to the Dangerous Wild Animals Act.

The DWA Act is fairly explicit and the guidance is fairly clear. However, you will always find that some local authorities may interpret the guidance in slightly different ways, and you may find that some of the responses differ slightly.

The following document may also be of use/interest. Please click on the link: http://www.defra.gov.uk/wildlife-countryside/gwd/wolfdogs/wolfdogs.pdf

I hope this information is of use.
