Early socialisation of the puppy is important puppy along with the subsequent training. The Czechoslovakian Wolfdog is a dog that likes to work (same as the German Shepherd) and it needs be worn out. It is resilient and loves sports. Note that you will have to reserve enough time to take care of it. Therefore, it’s more suitable for nature lovers. However, this doesn’t mean, that you couldn’t keep it in a city. They don’t like drill, positive motivation and learning through a game are important in their training.
It’s a very young breed which was bred in the Czech Republic. It originated in the fifties by crossbreeding of the German Shepherd and the Carpathian wolf. This dog has only around 10 percent of wolf blood, however, much more from it remained in its appearance and character. It was recognised as a national breed in 1982 and in 1999 it was recognised by the World Canine Organisation. The original intention was to have a dog that will keep the health of the wolf and the nature of the German Shepherd.
This half-wolf is much healthier in comparison to the German Shepherd and does not suffer as much from orthopaedic disorders. Still, the tests for hip and elbow dysplasia should not be underestimated and they should be performed as soon as it’s possible with respect to the age. In some individuals, spinal cord disease appears (degenerative myelopathy). This degenerative disorder, however, tends to be rather unique.
These dogs achieve an above-average size. Their height at the withers is on average 65 centimetres in males and 60 centimetres in females. You might also be surprised by their weight. At its height it is very light dog. The weight should range fluctuate around 25 or 20 kg. The Czechoslovakian Wolfdog generally has a very solid and symmetrical physique, which resembles a rectangle in its shape.
It’s also characterised by strong jaws and large teeth, small, oblique and amber-coloured eyes and light mask. Its fur is very dense, it covers the whole body, one could almost envy it. The future master should also count with regular care and combing. You should get your dog used to hairdressing already at an early age. Since later, this individuality might not let you touch its wild fur. Dewclaws on the paws are undesirable and they should be removed.
It's an incredibly vivid, active, fast, smart, loyal, but distrustful dog. If you are a beginner, you should rather look for a different breed. The Czechoslovakian Wolfdog needs an experienced person next to them, which is a clear leader of the pack. It’s not even a typical family dog, but it still gets along well with children. However, you shouldn’t leave them alone without supervision with the dog. It never attacks anyone for no reason, but when it’s threatened it doesn’t know fear. This also applies to your visitors:).

It is a well-known fact about cats that they like lying in the sunlight. However, that doesn’t mean they are never hot and the risk of overheating is not real for them.
The fact that there are different cans and dry food for dogs and cats is not a marketing stunt. Both beasts have their specific nutrition needs which vary in certain aspects and if you give them the wrong food, they will start suffering quite soon.
