The CzW will do okay in an apartment if it is sufficiently exercised. It is moderately active indoors and will do best with a large yard. Well-suited for cold climates. This breed needs a lot of daily exercise and adequate space. This breed sheds heavily twice a year.
Bathing is most unnecessary, as the coat sheds dirt readily.
Dry shampoo occasionally. This dog is clean and odorless. In the year 1955 a biological experiment took place in the CSSR of that time, namely, the crossing of a German Shepherd Dog with a Carpathian Wolf. The experiment established that the progeny of the mating of a male dog to a female wolf as well as that of male wolf to female dog, could be reared. The overwhelming majority of the products of these mating possessed the genetic requirements for continuation of breeding.
