Ears

[dperez]

Hello everyone,

I have a question concerning the CsW's ears.... As I said in my introductory
mail, I am not an owner and will probably not be for a few more years (I
want to give them the best and cannot do so at the moment). I've been
looking at all the sites I could find on CsW and one thing that seems
peculiar is that on a lot of them, the dogs seem to have particularly LARGE
ears. I had the impression from my reading that these dogs should have a
size between the wolf's ears and the German sheaperd's and not bigger even
then the GSD's..... is it normal? They look like their ears are bigger than
their heads almost.

Thanks for your answers

PS Some of the sites have v. beautiful dogs and I think at least one of you
is their owner

Good question - No, it's not normal. A CzW should have ears not longer
than 1/6th of height at withers. It means, ears lengh of a a large male (70
cm) should be 11,6 cm at the very most. The goal of the breeding is to have
wolf-ears that are not longer then 6-7cm.

Although the wolfdogs have ears smaller then GSDs (yes, yes ) - the lengh
is still a very common problem. As you can see many dogs have to long ears,
and many of them haven't, as written in the standard, the triangular form.
Here the breeders have an ideal setting in which they can demonstrate their
skills ))

Hello Mina and Margo,

Thank you both for your info on CsW's ears..... I was hoping to see you in
Solothurn (CH) yesterday but unfortunately I only returned from holidays
yesterday afternoon. Perhaps I will meet you and your dogs on another
occasion. If there are other shows in the switzerland region or in France
near the border (I live in Lausanne), please let me know as I would love to
be there.

Howwwwlll to all of you

We prepared for this show since two years but unfortunately my (huge)exam
has been rescheduled (to today) and I was not able to be on this show (((
So maybe next time... (what do you think about Special CzW show in
Nürnberg/Zirndorf (D)?)
