Czechoslovakian Wolfdog, also known as the Czechoslovakian Wolfdog, is a breed that emerged in the second half of the 20th century.
This dog looks like a dog but very much like a wolf, lively, extremely active, very enduring, gentle, and brave. Suspicious, it is very loyal to its owner and can survive in harsh environments.
The Czechoslovakian Wolfdog is a relatively new breed, originating from an experiment conducted in Czechoslovakia in 1955, where a German Shepherd and a Carpathian Wolf were hybridized.
This breed was initially designed as a military dog and was developed by the Czechoslovak Special Forces for military purposes. However, it is also widely used in search and rescue, protection, tracking, herding, agility sports, and hunting activities.
In 1982, the Czechoslovakian Wolfdog was officially recognized as a national breed by the Breeding Association of CSSR, and in 1984, it was recognized as a purebred dog by the organization, no longer being mixed with wolves and gradually forming an independent breed. It was formally recognized by the FCI in 1989 and has since become increasingly popular among dog lovers worldwide.

The Czechoslovakian Wolfdog is relatively easy to keep as a pet. Generally, feeding them more raw meat than ordinary dogs is sufficient.
However, because many serious diseases are now related to obesity in dogs, many of these diseases can shorten their lifespan. Therefore, while ensuring that the dogs have enough nutrition, owners should also take the time to exercise them every day to prevent them from becoming "overweight".
1. Do not bathe frequently
When bathing a dog, it should not be done too frequently. The frequency of bathing depends on the dog's hygiene condition. In hot weather, you can bathe the dog one or two more times, while in winter, you can reduce it to one or two times. But in general, it should not exceed 5 times. Otherwise, it will damage its fur and skin!
2. Brush regularly
Dogs shed almost every day, especially during spring and autumn seasons when they shed more heavily. Regular brushing is an important step in maintaining good coat growth. Pet owners can use pet-specific brushes to help the dog remove naturally shed fur and prevent tangling. Brushing once in the morning and once in the evening for about five minutes each time is sufficient.
3. Sunbathe
Sunbathing is beneficial for the growth of the dog's coat. Besides making the coat shinier, letting the dog sunbathe can also help kill bacteria. While sunbathing, pet owners can let the dog exercise a bit, which can improve the dog's physical fitness, promote blood circulation, and help grow healthier fur.
4. Deworming
Poor coat condition is also related to parasites. Parasites consume a large amount of nutrients from the dog's body, depriving it of nutrition. So deworming is essential. It is recommended to treat both internal and external parasites together. Deworming drugs can cause significant harm to the dog's stomach and intestines, so it is advisable to feed probiotics regularly to alleviate gastrointestinal discomfort.
5. Pay attention to diet
To ensure that the dog has a beautiful coat, it is necessary to establish a good nutritional foundation and pay attention to daily diet. On one hand, feed the dog with nutritious and healthy dog food, choose a brand that is suitable for the dog and provides sufficient nutrition to meet the dog's needs. On the other hand, you can also give the dog a moderate amount of lean meat, cooked egg yolks, and vegetable oil, etc.
