What's the temperament of a Husky x Czechoslovakian Wolfdog cross like?

Hi there, I used 'eaten alive' in the sense that she said she wanted to handle the training herself and only see a dog trainer if things went wrong. I just meant not getting overwhelmed by their behaviour, as they’re likely to egg each other on when it comes to mischief. =) And training two dogs when you don’t yet know their temperaments can be a real challenge.

Tiffzen, why on earth would his dogs turn on him? Zanderic has realised that you really shouldn't rush them or be heavy-handed with them... I'm not worried at all.

Mind you, it’s true, I’m not a fan of those volatile crossbreeds either.

Taking on two puppies when you don't know their temperaments is a bold move!

I think it’s a good idea to ask about the parents’ temperaments to get an idea of how the pups might turn out. I’d definitely recommend some proper dog training for both you and them right from the start; don’t wait until you’re being run ragged by them just because there are two of them. I’m actually doing training classes with my Malinois at the moment—I’m the one doing all the exercises with him.

I’m generally against crossbreeding, I think it’s a load of rubbish, but I have to admit it’s a very handsome cross. We'll just have to see if their temperament matches their looks.

I've just seen the post—they have the most gorgeous faces, but best of luck for the future! I hope for your sake they don't turn out to be too much of an explosive mix.

Above all, don't leave them together 24/7. Try to separate them every now and then by taking just one out for a walk, then the other... They need to be able to live independently. Often, when two dogs are raised together and get on well, they tend to "pack up" and become completely codependent, reaching a point where they can't handle being apart.

Watch out for separation issues too; you need to work on this from a very young age, very gradually... About 75% of CWDs are surrendered to rescues for this exact reason: unable to stay on their own, they become destructive and/or try to escape. I rescued an adult CWD and had to deal with all of that, so believe me, it's much better to work on it daily from the start ^^

Then, as with all puppies and dogs—especially these breeds—socialisation is key, with plenty of positive outings and encounters. It’s better to have walks in a quieter, low-stimulus environment where they only have positive experiences than to take them into the middle of a busy market, which could be a negative experience and a real step backwards in their progress.

I think I've said my piece, but I really hope it all goes well for you!

It doesn’t matter, I love them just the way they are.
