From Radio Prague:

From the series: Czech Dog Breeds

The Czechoslovakian Wolfdog

07/20/2022

The Czechoslovakian Wolfdog's name doesn't lie - it is indeed
part dog, part wolf! Created for the Czechoslovak border guard in
the late 1950s, the breed's creator, Karel Hartl, wanted to
improve the stamina and strength of working dogs by crossing
German shepherds with Carpathian grey wolves.

The first crossbreeding of a Carpathian grey wolf with a German
shepherd dates back to 1955. The original intention was to
improve on the traits of the German Shepherd, but in the end an
entirely new breed was created. Breeder, vet and general dog
expert Vladimíra Tichá explains:

"It was originally intended as a research experiment, but
then after some consideration it was concluded that the
border guards could have their own dog breed, like the
Russians have their black Russian terrier, so we could have
the Czechoslovakian wolfdog. However, I'm not sure it was an
ideal dog for the border guard, because the breed has
inherited from its wolf ancestors a slightly different
temperament to most dogs, for example, it is more difficult
for them to change owners."

The first description of the breed standard was written by the
wolfdog's inventor, Karel Hartl, in cooperation with the
Czechoslovak border patrol. On the basis of Hartl's work,
František Rosík, a native of Moravia, continued and expanded the
breeding of the dog in Slovakia. After the dissolution of
Czechoslovakia on 1 January 1993, the breed was designated as
belonging to Slovakia; however, it is recognized as a national
breed in both of its countries of origin. Vladimíra Tichá has
this to say on the matter:

"When the Czechoslovak Republic was dissolved in 1993, the
FCI said that the two nations had to decide between
themselves which of them would take charge of the breed.
There was a meeting between Czech and Slovak breeders, and
the Slovaks were more, let's say, assertive in their
negotiations, so today Slovakia is in charge of the breed.
However, they can't make any changes to the breed standard
without the consent of the Czech Republic. We still think of
it as our breed, even if some Slovak breeders don't like
it."

The breed was internationally recognised by the International
Canine Federation (FCI) in 1999. Classified under the heading of
Sheepdogs and Cattledogs by the organisation, from its origins
exclusively as a working dog it gradually started to enter
civilian life. Nowadays it is bred not only as a working dog and
for canine sports, but also as a guard dog and pet.

Michaela van Erne, who has lived with Czechoslovakian wolfdogs
for 24 years, says that they are an extremely versatile breed.

"You can do all kinds of things with it - it can be a
working dog or a rescue dog. Its excellent sense of smell
allows it to find people buried under avalanches, for
example."

From its lupine ancestors, the dog inherited its high
intelligence, physical fitness, endurance, resistance to the
vagaries of the weather, and highly attuned sense of smell. Its
wolf-like nature can still be observed, particularly when it
comes to its temperament. It can sometimes be mistrustful of
strangers, but never attacks without reason. It is a fearless,
courageous dog with strong ties to its pack or family.

Due to its intelligence and independence, its training takes
longer and is more specific than for other breeds. Michaela van
Erne elaborates further on how to train a wolfdog.

"Training a wolfdog means one step forward and two steps back. So
I recommend basic obedience training in a training ground where
there is either a more individualized approach, or where the
trainers have experience with the breed."


The Czechoslovakian Wolfdog is 60-70 cm at the withers, but
there is a significant difference between males and females
- the average height for males is 69 cm and only 63 cm for
females.

There are an estimated 1,500 - 2,000 wolfdogs in Czechia,
with approximately 178 breeding males and 181 breeding
females. The dogs are bred throughout Europe and are
especially popular in Italy, with even more puppies being
registered there each year than in Czechia. According to the
Czechoslovakian Vlcak Club of America, there were about 200
of the breed living in the US as of 2018.
