I don't want to give incorrect information, so I figured this would be the best place to ask. Thanks

If you are talking about the breed in the US, you can find official AKC and UKC info here (the breed is recordable with AKC/FSS and fully registerable with UKC - it is known as the Czechoslovakian Vlcak). It can compete in Companion events in the AKC, as well as Conformation B matches. It is fully recognized by the FCI; while it is a national breed of the former Czechoslovakia, it's patronage country is now Slovakia, although the Czech breeding commission works very closely as well. I don't know if it is "the" official breed in either country.

The breed was created with a working purpose in mind, not just as a "wolf look-alike". It is not considered a "low content wolfdog" in the US - according to Humane Society policy, anything beyond F5 (generation 5 after wolf breeding) is only a dog - current CSVs in the US are all a few generations beyond F5. In reality, they still carry some wolfish influence in temperament, and looks, obviously.

If you look under "History" on this website, you will also find some info.
