Misrepresentation of Wolfdogs.

[massimo]

First of all I too agree that this Liverani should change his way of working.
Let me understand something though.
A man comes to your kennel and asks you if he can take photos in order to make a calendar.
He pays you some money for the photos.
He calls the calendar WOLVES.
Should you be blamed for this?
I do not think so.
Some friends of mine used a wonderful CZW in a film, he was interpreting a wolf.
I don't know if in the end titles it will be written : the wolf is not a real wolf, it is a CZW. But if the titles do not show this, are my friends to be blamed?
I do not think so.
A girl met me on the street and asked me if she could make some photos of my dogs. She said she was making a "pictural fable" and needed a photo of a wolf for little red riding hood.
She changed the fable becase she chosed this photo:
http://www.wolfdog.org/ita/gallery/pic19757.html
and put two wolves instead of one.
I saw the "pictoral fable" and she didn't mention that the wolves are really CZW.
Is it my fault?
I do not think so.
The CORRECT behaviour would be to specify WOLF is not = to WOLFDOG.
But if the producer of calendar or films do not do it, the owner of the wolfdog is not to be blamed (I think).

But in my opinion the problem is not a photograph - lier but a problem is in kennel Passo del Lupo and its owner! His dogs, his photos, his fault!

In Poland people are not afraid so much of name "wolfdog", of course SOME PEOPLE ARE afraid of any big dogs, but here people have much respect for wolfs and we (CsV owners) can only be proud of our dogs!
