Unfortunately, because of its French & English name's translation (Chien-Loup & Wolfdog) some states may refused the CSV.

In Canada and in most US states, it is against the law to own an hybrid...

I perfectly know that the CSV should be considered as a dog and not directly as an hybrid but some states' shelter inspectors & gouvernement inspectors may put a CSV owner in lot of trouble.... As an example, a law against all dogs of pitt bull type exist in Ontario and a retired couple needed to pay lot of lawyer expenses when their animal control inspector made a complain against them because they "owned" a dog of that type. In fact the dog was a Labrador !!!!!!

In North America some inspectors are not so good and easy to deal with. Every US owners should be sure of their states law to avoid problem.
Also as soon as all CSV in US will be AKC-FSS registered, owners will have a proof of their dog's origin as a dog .... not a direct hybrid.

There is too many kinds of hybrids in US and most are not legally owned.... this hybrid popularity play a bad role on the CSV future.

It is for me like the American Staff and Pittbull relation. Now that Pittbull (not a rcognized breed) is considered as dangerous and so many laws are against that type of dog, AmStaff are also putted in the same bag.
I wish to never see that happening in the CSV... with all hybrids in USA and Canada that are considered dangerous...

On the market there is so many false papers goind on and there so maybe the officials will not recognized a foreign pedigree... specially in a foreign language than English!

The way to obtain the AKC-FSS registration is really simple : two photos of the dog, the copy of its pedigree and $30.

Not always easy to deal with North American bureaucratic
