There seems to be some confusion as to the differences between membership of a Facebook Group, a Forum or Discussion Board, a Website and a Breed Club. If someone is a member of one it doesn't necessarily follow that the same person is a member of any of the others.

Firstly, with regard to the Czechoslovakian Wolfdog Club of GB Facebook page - this is merely a means of advertising the fact that there is a Forum and also a Breed Club. It's sole purpose is to point the way for interested parties, who may wish to find out more from the Forum about the breed and the Club.

The Czechoslovakian Wolfdog {Vlcak} Breed Club of Great Britain Forum is another media used to bring the breed to the attention of the general public, to promote the breed and answer any queries that members may have with regard to the breed in general, health, diet, training etc. and to ask advice on specific problems. It is also somewhere that members can share pictures and experiences of their Czechoslovakian Wolfdogs. The Forum doesn't discriminate between owners of imported FCI registered dogs and owners of UK bred dogs, except that information relating to each are collected in a different place for transfer to the appropriate database. Owners of both are welcome on the Forum and their knowledge and experience is valued equally. The Forum is also there to promote the Breed Club, making people aware of it's existence and it's aims, and ultimately to encourage membership. The Forum also welcomes interested members who do not own Czechoslovakian Wolfdogs however want information and are researching the breed. The Forum is a great place to meet new owners in the UK and share their experiences.

The Czechoslovakian Wolfdog {Vlcak} Breed Club of Great Britain is the Breed Club, formed in 2011 to represent the Czechoslovakian Wolfdog in Great Britain. The aim of the club is to unite owners and breeders worldwide of this wonderful dog and to collate information necessary to obtain UK Kennel Club recognition. This is obviously going to take some time and the club is being guided by existing clubs in the EU with regard to format and record keeping. Until such time as the breed is recognised the breed club will keep a register of all imported dogs. The club will also be the governing body for the breed in Great Britain and will set the standard with regard to breeding and ownership ethics and will regulate the breeding of these dogs by members in Great Britain. The club will also offer advice and support to its members and anything pertaining to the welfare of these dogs.

Finally, The Czechoslovakian Wolfdog {Vlcak} Breed Club of Great Britain website is still under construction and is about to go live shortly this will be used to promote the Club and it's activities, as well as giving accurate information about the Breed. It will also connect to the Forum and the Breed Club will encourage input from it's members as to what should be displayed on the website.

Therefore, membership or interest in one particular element does not automatically infer membership of all elements.

We think its important to also remind new / established members that its not all about 'breeding' in the Breed Club its about promoting the interests, welfare and responsible ownership of the Czechoslovakian Wolfdog {Vlcak} in the United Kingdom. Bring together owners and breeders worldwide and facilitate the exchange of views and information on all subjects appertaining to the breed

Thankyou for all your requests for clarification and we hope this settles any concerns

Sorry trying to understand this are you recognised by the FCI or the Kennel Club or what, who started this and through what athourity?
