Some dogs I seen here are Husky, Shephard, or Malamute mix.
Read about Wolf Dogs the real thing on the site I posted.

Perhaps would be a good idea you read a bit the forum before post.
It's a webpage about czechoslovakian wolfdogs, a DOG breed officialy recognized by FCI, well.. with nothing of Husky or Malamute.

Besides the fact that CsVs are a breed of dog that don't have Husky or Malamute ancestry, wouldn't ANY "wolfdog" be a mix of some wolf and some dog?

Having met with the FLA (Florida Lupine Association) there is a TON of misinformation out there in regards to wolf-hybrids, wolfdogs, and (in an extended sense) vlcaks and saarloos.

For those of us in the USA since we only have a handful of vlcak owners (and I think no saarloos?) it may not be a bad idea to reach out to wolf-hybrid / wolfdog clubs to work with them (about temperament, living with them, etc..). After meeting with the FLA we think Luna and Pollux are far more wolfier than we did think before (many of their traits we though were just annoying puppy traits but many turn out to be wolf-traits).

Some of the wolf-hybrids at the club were about 50% (some were first generation hybrids) and they are VERY wolfy in temperament (skittish, alert, etc..).
As for the article I have to disagree with a lot of it and a lot of it seems to be assumptions. The average vlcak is what, around 30% wolf? That would make them a low content according to the article and should look and act like a GSD. I'll let the author live with Pollux for a few days and they'll quickly rewrite the article. I think the wolf genetics are dominant so even lower content hybrids will show a lot of the wolfy characteristics.

Sorry, but if a vlcak behaves like a wolf it only means that the breeder made bad selection/breeding decisions and/or neglected early socialisation of the pup. Alternatively it could mean that the owner did not socialize/train the pup correctly. A vlcak should be a vlcak not a wolf or a wolf-hybrid.
Unfortunately, some breeders select towards appearance only, ignoring character, early socialisation, owner selection, etc. and some naive buyers buy such animals without proper kennel research, knowledge about the breed, experience etc. Later such people write naive articles or claim that

Draggar, how many vlcaks have you raised until their full maturity to make such claims! How many vlcaks have you seen working, participating in shows, camps and trainings to have the right to state that

Why do you extrapolate your limited personal experience to the whole breed? CSV is not a 30% wolf! It's a dog.

By pure mathematical calculation, which means not much at all:
