The Czechoslovakian Wolfdog is a newish dog breed that traces its original lineage to an experiment conducted in 1955 in the former Czechoslovak Republic. After first breeding a German Shepherd Dog with a Carpathian wolf, a plan was worked out to create a hybrid breed that blended the desired qualities of both animals. It was officially recognised as a national breed in the USSR in 1982.

Appearance
The build and the hair of the Czechoslovakian Wolfdog are wolflike, The lowest dewlap height is 65 cm for a dog and 60 for a bitch and there is no upper limit. The body frame is rectangular, ratio of the height to length is 9:10 or less. The expression of the head indicates the sex. Amber eyes set obliquely and short upright ears of a triangle shape are characteristic features. The set of teeth is complete (42); strong; both scissors-shaped and plier-shaped setting of the dentition is acceptable. The spine is straight, strong in movement, with a short loin. The chest is large and flat, not barrel-shaped. The belly is strong and drawn in. The back is short, slightly sloped, the tail is high set; when freely lowered it reaches the tarsuses. The fore limbs are straight, and narrow set, with the paws slightly turned out, with a long radius and metacarpus. The hind limbs are muscular with a long calf and instep.

The colour of the hair is from yellow-grey to silver-grey, with a light mask. The hair is straight, close and very thick. Czechoslovakian Wolfdog is a typical tenacious canterer; its movement is light and harmonious, its steps are long.

Temperament
Wolfdogs are more versatile than specialised. They quick, lively, very active, fearless and courageous. The Czechoslovakian Wolfdog develops a very strong social relationship not only with their owner, but with the whole family. This pack mentality needs to be managed as they mature, with plenty of socialising with people and dogs outside their immediate family to prevent aggression towards "animals outside their pack" as they become adults.

The Czechoslovakian Wolfdog is very playful and temperamental. It learns easily, but will learn best when given a purpose and reward, rather than through repetitive methods which will quickly bore them. They are generally not natural barkers due to thier wolf lineage though they may howl.
