Description of a Czechoslovakian Wolfdog.

The Czechoslovakian Wolfdog is a relatively new breed of dog that traces its original lineage to an experiment conducted in 1955 in the former Czechoslovak Republic. After initially breeding a German Shepherd Dog with a Carpathian wolf, a plan was worked out to create a wolfdog breed that blended the desired qualities of both animals. It was officially recognized as a national breed in the ÈSSR in 1982, in 1999 it became FCI standard no. 332, group 1, section 1. The breed has only become available in the U.K since 2002 due to DEFRA and The Kennel Club pressure officially recognizing the breed, where it is often called a European Inuit.
