Norwegian ban on SW and CzW

[Per Olav]

Hi Sanna.

Although agreeing I don't think we shall dramatize the situation with
respect to the pure wolfdog breed :-)
My experiences is that 99 pct of the people I meet is very friendly and
curious about the breed, asking wether it is a hybrid or what kind of mix.
When i say" it's a Czechoslovakian Wolfdog" they never heard of the breed
and start asking questions. Then I start my "missionary work" by informing
of the breed, its background and its use as a working dog.
At a certain stage we unavoidable start discussing wolves and Norwegian
wolf management, and even if we not come to terms, it very seldom
degenerate a hostile debate :-).
Luckily I live somewhat outside the most populated wolf inhabited area, and
by that seldom experience unfriendliness from the sheep farmers as my
friend the Saarlos breeder do.
But until now, I can't say I've met any kind of hostility, neither against
my dog nor me. If the media starts to produce hostile angled features
related to the breed it may happen, - but for now only friendly and curios
attitudes are shown.
