I guess the only way to resolve the situation is to admire this breed from afar at the moment. Simon

You know, there is really a difference between wild dingo and a working dog breed, even if that breed is called Czechoslovakian wolfdog

Yes, training CSW might be more difficult, but certainly it is still just a dog. The trainability, character and behaviour of CSW depends from a big part on the skills of it´s breeder and owner. You can pass IPO with CSW. Can you with dingo?

No you can't pass any titles with a Dingo because you can't trial them.They are not considered a dog breed but a native dog.
But you missed my point,being,that ,from what I've learnt from my friend and this website,is that both the Dingo and CSW,are harder to train than most other breeds,that both breeds respond to positive training techniques better than other methods,both are highly intelligent-street smart,if you like,rather than mechanical in response to problem-solving and both are highly pack oriented but also very self reliant.
You can teach a Dingo almost anything,as you can a wolfdog,but their real value is their friendship and loyalty.

Ok, I got your point. But I still think, that to compare a dog breed (CSW) with a wild dog (dingo) is a bit crazy

And a bit risky, because unfortunatelly, many people here in West Europe think the same, that CSW is "half-wolf" or "almost wolf" and thus you cannot do anything with it, or it is extremely difficult. And that is not true and such thinking only does the harm to the breed.
Many of these "wolves" as some people here consider CSW´s seldom make it behind the borders of their garden or kennel. Simply because their owners believe, that it is difficult to teach them walk on the leash (well they think it is difficult or impossible to teach them anything, anyways).

It is absolutely important to remind people all the time, that CSW is a dog breed, it is working breed and as such, if socialised and trained, can do virtualy anything. Yes, it might be harder to teach CSW to do things, than a GSD, but it depends really only on the master of the dog, what and how fast the dog will learn!

Sorry is it hard? How is it hard? You want a dog for a bit of company? No special job you need it for? You go and look in a rescue. If you want to cycle across Europe or Australia with your dog just for 'something to do' then reseach, and when you finish researching, reseach some more. COZ A DOG LIVES (could) 13 YEARS. So six months of looking for a breeder is not hard. Reading some library books on dog training, puppy care, dog breeding, dog genetics and dog domestication is not actually hard. And it's virtually free. OK it's hard if you cant read but to find a dog that is basically healthy is not difficult at all. Even at a rescue you get a choice. If you ask for a dog that is unlikely to have any special health problems they won't give you a roach-backed GSD.

Wen I know Dingos were domestic dogs that had come back to be wild.
Dingo is not considered one dog breed, but for my see, he can't considered one native dog, being that it is not one realy native dog of the place.

The Norwegian situation is unchanged - I did'nt know there was any resctrictions of owning a CSV in Iceland except for the general ban on dogs in their capital city. Any information is apreciated.

Hello,
thanks for the info!
I tought it wasn t possible to bring CW in iceland because it is considered a "mix wolf" dog...i could be wrong...do you know anyone that has CW in iceland?
If the problem is restricted to Reykjavik then it isn t a so big problem as I tought... a part the 4 weeks isolation for the importation of pets....
Any futher infos are more than appreciated!

That means that there is a chance to register new UK-resident CSVs with a proper, not scary name. If I had gone to my local council (who have the final say)asking for their opinion on whether a Wolfdog was counted as a DWA they'd say yes because of the name. If the name can be CORRECTED then all the UK people who want to keep CSV can do so without emigrating!! They just might have to move to a different borough

Oh yeah, and they can only travel around in "unrestricted" boroughs!

hi as everone has told you friend this bred is called the Czechoslovakian Wolfdog and they are in the u.k and they are here to stay your local council need educated on this breed and several councils have now accepted the breed because they have been invited to see the dogs, at present there are over 20 csvs in uk not one has a lience and they never will, my dogs travel freely in uk as do all the rest, please let me know which councils have restrictions on the Csvs? my two 7mths old pups where at a council run fete only last week i had no problems at all,,, regards paul winder kent uk

Hello everyone,
Sorry this is a little off topic

but it follows on from Pauls reply and my question is to Paul and Mandy in the UK.
With your approval I would like to purchase a pup from yourselves in the not to distant future (hopefully) and was wondering if I need to get permission from my local council, (I am in the Manchester area) to own a czw? If so is there likely to be a certain department within the council that I should get in touch with and how do I approach the subject, do I just ask for permission to own a csw or ask which dogs need a license?
I would also like to know about the UK czw club which you run, can anybody join?
Look forward to your reply, thank you. J.P.
