You can breed 100 puppies and we can speak regularly about his quality. Before you be in silence and look.

Sussana I don´t have anything agaist you…but your combination ( Navarre - son of Grey Wolf z Molu Es x Isabeu - daughter of Jolly z Molu Es) isn´t absolutly correct for Czech rep. and you could have problems if you are dwelt in Czech rep. Your pupipes are absolutly OK??? If yes, you can say thanks My GOOD!
And you can by happy if you are in Italy and you can breed without kennel´s name.
For breeding in Italy isn´t important CLUB but ENCI. Club is for nothing for breeders in Italy- only associate of breeders.

I saw many sick of CSWs….with demodex, epilepsy, dwarfismus, cancer, sterility, elefantismus, loos of maternal instincts, heart defects…..teeh defects, dysplasy, kryptorchism….etc.

Long hair isn´t big problem (only exterier problem) and sometimes coming from GSD. Forget on wolf. Our breed have minimaly 70 % blood of GSD !!! and his problems, too!

But I NEVER will put photos of really sick dogs on WOLFDOG. ORG.
This is tabloid press and will make from nothing BIG problem.

If our breed have some problems, these problems are OF ALL! Our dogs have very similary blood and I think you are very often forget it. Is very easy to show on others.

The motivation can be various.......

And to Hana. Hana I saw many dogs and litters od Uhoste. Not all was healthy and without problems, don´t forget it and be correct to others breeders, too.

Hello,

I've just noticed this post.. Monika, if you are still reading the thread and you have time to reply (or if someone else experienced with breeding can give me answers) I'd have a question related to the CsW health - I think it's an interesting topic for every owner.

Specifically: some of the illnesses you mentioned aren't genetic (or at least, they aren't according to what I know about them). Cancer can be caused by TONS of different factors (nutrition in primis), demodex are mites (bad nutrition and immune compromised system surely "help" them), sterility and loss of maternal instinct can be caused by a lot of issues.

Has it ever been made any scientific research on what are the most common genetic health issues CsW have? Beside the obvious displasy I mean. If so, which was the result? (just the issues, not the percentage of CsW affected - but that would be interesting as well).

Because as far as I read around, CsW looks much healthier than other breeds. What I read from other owners surely have no scientific value, but it's still something to pay attention to.

Thanks
