Pollux is indeed an interesting little boy. Different in many ways than my Luna. He is totally interested in his human - to the extent that he will ignore other dogs/people. He does like other dogs, though, and feels comfortable around them. People he doesn't know he has absolutely no interest in.
Like Luna he is a "force of nature" in the house... my girlfriend mentioned his zooming around the house, grabbing everything including the flip-flop sandal off her foot and running off with it gleefully.
He, of course, is going through the typical puppy vlcak behavior - if something spooks him, he will dart to something he considers familiar. Luna did the same thing at the same age and has since outgrown it.
He is a very serious cookie - not submissive in the least and even a little willful.
She is an excellent dog trainer, though, so he couldn't have gone to a better place. I can't imagine the Average American tolerating his quirks - not to mention his gripping everything in sight.
He swims in the pool, which is adorable to watch as he always swims to his "mom"... his bond with her is strong.
When I have brought Luna over for a play date Pollux gets totally annoyed by her - his facial expressions are hilarious.
I'll keep you posted - it's nice to have another vlcak around. Last Monday we went to a local dog club to train and there was a guy there from the Czech republic who knew exactly what Luna and Pollux were. He said his grandmother lived near the border and growing up he saw the vlcaks and their handlers patrolling all the time. He said they even had a Vlcak head as the design on their uniform epaulets. So it was neat to hear about them from someone who saw them working.
I am so glad I decided to take a risk and join the CsV world...
