Puppy in California

04-02-2010, 14:31

Since we're on the subject, I'm curious about actually getting to meet/interact with CsVs before actually planning a huge trip to Europe or anything.

Does anyone know anyone in or near Chicago? Or, are any of you attending dog shows in that area, or do you ever visit? This wouldn't have to be any time soon (I'm probably 5-10 years out from owning one, sadly) but I figure it can't hurt to ask.

I live in Texas... It is a little further than what you described (I do however have a close friend in Chilicothe), but in October 2010, I will be returning to Texas from Italy, to start a boarding kennel as well as going to school to train working dogs. (Either Tarheel Canine or Vohne Liche) Anyways... I've read some of your posts, and you are really on top of things. You have asked certain questions which either I wanted to learn for myself, or wait until I was confident to know exactly what to ask.. I am in Italy and have fallen in love with this breed since I bought my first in 2008. Please feel free to write and ask questions... I believe that is the best way to receive the answers we want. I know only basics of training (as per the reason I want to go to school to learn more).

Seeing won't work. Especially if it is a grown up wolfdog. They look just onderful then, nothing worse than retriever

And people do not believe, this amazing dog used to make owners just sit and cry

Maybe someone should start a topic "Real stories. My CSV made my cry by doing..."

Agree! Especially that they tend to switch on their demo version when visitors come in to see the worse of the breed.

There was as similar topic on the Polish forum but people stopped adding their CSVs 'crimes', when some others started commenting how nice and gentle wolfdogs they had.

But:
I read the topic after a couple of years and realised that some of the greatest wolfdog troublemakers, that in their 'teenage' period literally walked on the walls, grew up to be lovely, predictable and well-trained animals and some of the "perfect pups" that destroyed nothing were later abandoned by their owners for some unknown reasons...

I suppose some CSV pups are more ingenuous/difficult than others, but in principle, the first year or two with a CSv is not easy time for the owner. The general rule however is, that the more time, energy and care the owner offers the pup during this time, the easier it is to handle the adult wolfdog.

I know... it is in Italian, but this Thread is amazing and very very useful for us to let new owners "know"... you can see the photos and make your own conlusions.

This is very off topic but we had one here to >>> http://www.wolfdog.org/forum/showthr...ht=Destruction

But I think it is locked away in the forum basement

even if you post I do not think it will show on the 10 top list...

Very best regards / Mikael

Old thread, but is this pup still in CA? I live there and I'd love a chance to meet one. Vicky actually sparked my interest in the breed recently and recommended me to the forums. It's going to be a long time till I'll be able to actually get one but spending some time with one would be great

I'd also like to say there is a ton of great information here and I've been reading the board constantly as well as all of the articles I've found here over the last week or two.

Sorry, no - this puppy has found another happy new home in another state.
