My oldest wolfdog crossbreed is 9 and thank god he found me.

Lountzi, you seem to have confused wolf hybrids and wolfdogs with a well established DOG breed called Czechoslovakian Wolfdog. I know several CSV (including my own) who live in flats in the middle of cities, do not run away and are loved by neighbours... It's true that CSVs need a lot of exercise and need to be trained, but don't exaggerate, they are not WOLVES but DOGS.
I agree that Nicholas does not show the right attitude to the idea of buying a CSV, but it's not due to the breed but rather his hasty plan, which seems rather a kind of a whim than a mature decision based on knowledge. It has already been indicated earlier in this thread.
Unfortunately, experience shows that people like Nicolas, who buy CSVs without careful consideration and knowledge of the dogs' needs and characteristics, and without meeting the dogs live first and observing how much energy they have, often return them to their breeders or advertise in the section "CSVs seeking new home" very soon after their acquisition
