Just imagine - in that time most articles published in Polish dog magazines were reprints from French, German (simply said West European) magazines. And there was always the same: "Saarloos good, CzW bad". Many people were surprised I buyed CzW because they were sure Saarloos is perfect dog for work (because people from Search and Rescue groups use them for rescue people).



[Sorry for such steep words about Saarloos owners - I know people which really love wolfdogs and see disadvantages and advantages of their breed. But I have enough of people which asked about character of Saarloos start their description with "Distinct from Czechoslovakian Wolfdogs Saarloos are....."]

That's why we have a special wolfdog day in Schoten at 4 juni.People can see both breeds and I hope that a lot of different dogs,from different breeders(very importent )come to this day.

I know that a lot of Saarloos people outside the netherlands ,reading homepages from people outside the land of origin(the same with the CWS)and than you get a wrong picture of the breed.

A Saarloos is not a worker,some of them are shy ,maybe careful is better word.
There are a couple of Saarloos TRAINED as a rescue dog,but they never WORKED as a rescue dog.
You can TRAINED them in many things,but don't do an exame or Match,they let you down.

They are both fine dogs,with there own character.My Solo is a little bit like a CWS,and I saw Shadow,last week ,and he is more like a Saarloos.So maybe it's more the way the breeders do there work, how the dogs are.

Hope ,you don't misunderstand me,because is difficult to say this things in another language.
