Czechoslovakian
Wolfdog
Czechoslovakian Wolfdog shows
tremendous loyalty towards his master. This dog is very
resistant to weather conditions. Versatile in his use.
The Czechoslovakian Wolfdog is very playful and
temperamental; it learns easily. We can admire its
all-around qualities rather than its specialization. The
Czechoslovakian Wolfdog can be a bit dog aggressive and
is not generally trustworthy with other pets. It is
usually good with children, but suspicious and watchful
with strangers.
The Czechoslovakian Wolfdog is one
of the younger canine breeds as it was only recognized
by the canine association of the CSSR in 1982. Just like
the name implies, the Czechoslovakian Wolfdog looks a
lot like a wolf. They are generally tall, agile and very
alert. Czech Wolfdog have the distinct “facial mask”
that is common to most wolf-like breeds.
