The result of crossing German Shepherds and Carpathian wolves got the name Czechoslovak Wolfhound (also: Wolfhound).
At first glance, one can immediately see that the Czechoslovakian wolfhound differs from the original wolf by only a few generations. Not only the typical fur markings and the distinctive head shape speak for this, but of course also the behavior.

#1 The wolf has a very special appeal to humans. Reminiscent of the wild and the roots of nature, wolves have always been fascinating animals to us.
It is therefore not surprising that many people want an animal with the appearance of a wolf.
#2 Nevertheless, this should bring all the advantages of a domesticated house dog. The Czechoslovakian Wolfhound was born out of this desire.
#3 However, a dog’s work performance cannot be upgraded or improved if wolves are randomly crossed in.
A wolf does not have the same tolerance for stress, nor the patience of a dog.
