General Appearance: The national dog of the Czech Republic and Slovakia, the Czechoslovakian Vlciak was bred to be an all-purpose utilitarian dog for the Czechoslovakian Military between 1955-1965. The most distinguishing fact about the Czechoslovakian Vlciak is its physical resemblance to the wolf in its facial mask, coat, hair color, texture, and movement. They have excellent olfactory properties, and orientation abilities which makes them superior natural trackers. The versatility of the Czechoslovakian Vlciak allows it to be used for many purposes (guard, scent work/tracking, rescue dog, and mushing). The Czechoslovakian Vlciak is an alert, intelligent, loyal dog with superior eyesight. They have immense endurance even against adverse external influences. Its perseverance is admirable – trotting twenty-five miles can be done effortlessly. The Czechoslovakian Vlciak’s relatively narrow chest is flexible allowing the lungs to expand. They are extremely lithe, having greater mobility in their joints, which accounts for their effortless, light movement. They have an energy saving, longer low trot (typical movement). The Czechoslovakian Vlciak can spring to great heights from a standstill. They are focused and vigilant. The Czechoslovakian Vlciak is extremely loyal to his master and his family.
