Hellon Tyson. I have an 11 month old who was shipped to me from Belgium to the US. I live in NY and in my state unless a dog has 75% wolfblood, the do not consider him a wolf. The vet that I use is excellent. We have never run into your situation. When we first brought him to the vet, we told the vet that he was a purebred czechoslovakian wolfdog and brought all of his paperwork with us. Our vet LOVES our dog and would never have us sign a release form stating he is a hybrid because THEY ARE NOT! I would suggest finding a different vet who would be willing to research into this breed to gain more knowledge. Obviously vets in the US are not familiar with this breed so they automatically assume he is a hybrid. Luckily, we found a vet that researched the breed and is now very familair with him. When we had him neutered, our vet took special precausions while under anesthesia because of the research he did. My suggestion to you is to search very deeply in finding a vet who will take the time to research and I would defintily not sign any release form.
