World Dogshow 2008 Stockholm, Sweden

Actually it was my understanding that the breed was banned in Sweden which means

1) You cannot breed them
2) You cannot import them or bring them into the country

This is typical when a breed gets banned from a country - the existing dogs are not put down but rather they are all sterilized and both breeding and importing is forbidden. Eventually the breed dies out and there are no dogs of that kind to be found in the country. This is the situtation for CSW in both Sweden and Norway. The UK is slightly different, because you CAN have wolfdogs there, but they fall under the Dangerous and Wild animals regulations.

So... yes there are some wolfdogs in Sweden but... they are not really allowed in Sweden.

The fact that there is a show which allows CSW in Sweden is very encouraging because it will allow owners and breeders to (hopefully) show the breed how it really is, and help to convince the authorities that the restrictions on the CSW are unfounded.
