The Czechoslovakian Wolfdog is a wolf-dog hybrid that was developed in 1955 as part of an experiment there. In 1989, Fédération Sinologue International (FCI) recognized it as a breed after it had been recognized as a national breed in Czechoslovakia since 1982.
Morphological Traits
The height to length ratio of the body’s rectangular structure is 9:10 or less. Males must weigh at least 26 kg, while females must weigh at least 20 kg. Its distinguishing traits include short, erect ears that are trapezoidal in shape and amber eyes that are positioned obliquely. Straight, powerfully mobile, and with a short loin, the spine is. Rather than being barrel-shaped, the chest is broad and flat. Strong and drawn in, the belly.

Care as a Pet/ In Captivity
Feeding
The Czechoslovak Vlcak does best on a raw diet, but a high-quality, grain-free kibble with raw supplements is also suitable.
Breed-specific recipes are available from several dog food manufacturers for small, medium, big, and extra-large breeds. Medium-sized Czechoslovakian Vlcaks are a breed. Choosing what to feed your dog is a personal decision, but the best method to choose how frequently to feed him as a puppy and the best adult diet to lengthen his life is to consult your vet and/or breeder. Fresh water that is clean should always be accessible.
Grooming
Breed-specific recipes are available from several dog food manufacturers for small, medium, big, and extra-large breeds. The weather-resistant coat of vlcaks spontaneously rids itself of mud and debris. They hardly ever require a bath, and they hardly ever smell. Twice a year, they shed, and during that period, daily brushing is necessary.
Regular trimming with a nail clipper or grinder is advised to prevent overgrowth, splitting, and cracking of their robust, quickly developing nails. To prevent a buildup of wax and debris that could cause an infection, examine their ears frequently. You should brush your teeth frequently.
Exercise
Particularly through puppyhood and the early stages of puberty, this breed is renowned for possessing unlimited activity. Long daily walks or runs paired with mental challenge are beneficial. It is ineffective to let them roam free in the backyard. A Vlcak performs best when they can devote themselves to a “meaningful” career. They enjoy engaging in conversation with their owners. Activities that can help you burn off energy include swimming, hiking, retrieving balls, and flying discs. Having a CSV on a leash or in a gated enclosure is always a smart idea because they may have a predation drive for small animals.
