General
This is a relatively new breed of dog, which can boast neither hundreds of years of tradition
nor the names of famous rulers or eminent personalities who bred it or owned it.
Nevertheless, it attracts attention wherever it appears. Nobody doubts, not for a moment,
that these dogs are of the most distinguished origin. Their mother is Nature. It looks like a
wolf. It is tall but light and strong. Its straight thick hair is wolf-like grey with a typical white
mask. It will size you up confidently, with its light eyes, set obliquely. It does not look at its
owner; it knows exactly, at every moment, where its master is and what he is doing. It pays
attention rather to its surroundings – it wants to have a good view. It can run a 100
kilometers easily, has a great sense of direction, and reacts with lightening speed. No trail is
too difficult for it to follow. No matter whether it is raining or freezing or whether it is day or
night. There’s nothing it could not manage if it wants to. Every year coming the new puppies
from two mother's countries - Czech Republic and Slovak Republic. The first breedings were
recorded in Austria, Slovenia, and Hungary; animals were imported to a number of countries.
The dogs are shown every year at the leading dog shows and exhibitions.

History
In the year 1955 a biological experiment took place
in the CSSR of that time, namely, the crossing of a German Shepherd Dog with a
Carpathian wolf. The experiment established that the progeny of the mating of male
dog to female wolf as well as that of male wolf to female dog, could be reared. The
overwhelming majority of the products of these matings possessed the genetic
requirements for continuation of breeding. In the year 1965, after the ending of the
experiment, a plan for the breeding of this new breed was worked out. This was to
combine the usable qualities of the wolf with the favourable qualities of the dog. In
the year 1982, the Tschechoslowakischer Wolfshund, through the general committee
of the breeder's associations of the CSSR of that time, was recognized as a national
breed.
