Does this sound right?

CSV can be traced back to 1955 when the first matings of a German Shepherd Dog with a Carpathian Wolf took place. Several generations of matings happened between dogs that were tested for their capacity for training, activity and tenacity. These later generations were used as service dogs in the army. The last inclusion of wolf lines was in 1983 and the breed has been bred pure since. In some countries they are considered "low content wolfdogs" but in America, all the the current residing dogs are beyond F5. They do, however, still retain some wolf influence in temperament and looks. CSV is recordable with AKC, fully registerable with UKC, and fully recocgnized by FCI.

Thanks so much for you help!

Is anyone familiar with Saarloos, too? Or know of a place I could look? I've had much more trouble finding information on them.

Try Norway.... They seem to not have a problem with Saarloos.... They are used as blind dogs, and for some reason (I would never suggest any country in Europe

eh-hem {cough} .. be crooked) They are legal there... EVEN THOUGH.... CSVs are banned because they are a dangerous wolf breed... One day, when I come back home (Stateside) I will chat more. Jason
