Norwegian proposal of banning FCI approved wolfdog breeds in
hi all,
what is now succeeding in Norway, is not too far from
italian situation so as we wrote some weeks ago (see
the mails from Ezio and Stefano). It seems that
somebody think: "save the wolf and eliminate the
wolfdog, who is nor a wolf neither a dog"....
This is a nonsense, obviousely, but when TV support
it, i worry...
I think the name may be a problem: in Italy many
people say "cane-lupo" (italian translation for
wolfdog) to indicate German shepherd dog (whose
correct italian name is "pastore tedesco").
"Canelupo", moreover, is an old, popular name for many
dogs who seems GSD or wolf.
So, when i say i have Csv, in italian "Canelupo
cecoslovacco", many people that don't know this breed,
ask me: "how is? like a wolf?" but they don't indicate
really a wolf, they indicate a german shepherd dog!
So i have to answer "it seems a wolf, a WILD wolf".
Italian Kennel club doesn't use the name "cane lupo
cecoslovacco" but the name "cane DA lupo cecoslovacco"
(idem for saarloos).
"cane da lupo" in very different from "cane lupo".
"cane lupo" is wolfdog, "cane da lupo" is a dog to
hunt the wolf! (a wolfhound...)
So the name is not a sillines...
In my opinion, perhaps, it would be better if
czechoslovakian friends think to another name for the
breed... "czechoslovakian shepherd"? why not... :-)
but it's only my opinion... :-)))
Hi all
