Really cool Pollux seems happy. Though I have to wonder, haven't you been going around telling everyone that Pollux is a mixed dog? So I'm a little confused what he is actually being represented as.

Pollux is a CsV, though we think it's possible there is a little Saarloos in him

So when people ask what he is, his owner generally says "Czech Wolfdog" and I constantly hiss "Czechoslovakian VLCAK!" so Americans don't think he is a hybrid (a common thought - or they just walk by and I can hear them say "oh, yeah, that's definitely a wolf").
Interestingly, I finally persuaded his firefighter to join us at our Schutzhund club (it's only taken me a year to convince him SchH does NOT make a dog aggressive!)... my club members were THRILLED to see silly Pollux, and we all had a laugh --- the VERY FIRST thing he did when he got onto the training field was ANALLY MARK it. Too funny!
He didn't forget a thing - happily playing with our female "helper" and I was relieved that his firefighter now sees what I meant about Pollux enjoying the game and hanging out with the club...

What factors show the possibility of Saarloos content? Just curious...

so he is MAINLY csv...not a pure csv.... thats just like me calling one of my crossbreeds a siberian husky even tho he has a little of other breeds in him

im very glad pollux is having a lovely life

We believe he has some Saarloos as he exhibits some phenotypic differences and certainly behavioral differences... very "wolfy" - skittish...

I don't likt it that you are saying that he is a saarloos cross. If you want to know if that is true, if he is a cross with a red saarloos you can do an DNA test for the B locus!
Otherwise don't say he is a cross that way you insult the breeder.
Skittish behaviour you can also find in pure breed CSW, although this should not be the due to the breed standard.
Gossip wil stay Gossip until proven that it is the truth.

Not to open an old can of worms, but I have heard distant rumors that an official DNA test is/was to be done for Y Crying Wolf litter...I think this should clear things up one way or another?
