Terri Wemigwans’ life has, in one way or another, been devoted to working with dogs. She has been a Board Member of The Czechoslovakian Vlciak Club of America, Inc. since 2018. Terri began showing in AKC conformation when she was seven years old, showing her family’s Standard Schnauzer. She became very involved with the rescue and proper containment of wolfdogs/wolves due to the huge number of wolfdog puppy mills throughout North America. She realized there was a need to educate prospective owners and make sure that these animals found proper homes. This led her to working with and placing every type of breed imaginable. Teri’s involvement with Czechoslovakian Vlciaks (“CSV”) began in 2005 when she acquired a dog from a breeder who could no longer care for its needs. Because of this experience, Terri decided to take a closer look at the breed. In 2012, when she was looking for a new breed to show in conformation, Terri decided to import her first CSV from the Czech Republic. This amazing CSV has gone on to win an amazing 23 Bests in Show, including five AKC BIS FSS Open Shows. She has since imported several other CSV, and is now operating a kennel called “Native Canines” and looking forward to continuing to show this wonderful breed in AKC events.
