Above all, in the Asia exists a thing, which is called the testing examination of wolfhounds. As for it's legality, there are more official opinions differing in dependence on the place of this world they originate from, since every country has it's own laws. There are places where this test is considered to be a necessary good tradition, and there are other where it is considered to be a crime and animal cruelty.

It is a fighting test that helps to recognize the character of a wolfhound and if it is useful to use him for breeding. To choose the best dogs to participate on breeding is quite a difficult task, but the fighting test will show the condition of the dog, it's temperament and dominant tendencies, and at the same time will let the dog train itself in a fighting respect.

The wolfhounds that need such a test to preserve their original endowments and their typical use are Akbash, Anatolian Shepherd, Caucasian Ovcharka, Central Asian Ovcharka, Koochee, Turkish Kangal and other livestock guardians.

It was proven, that wolfhounds without such a test will gradually degrade. The saddest situation is probably in the USA and UK, where wolfhounds do not use to pass any fighting test and therefore their fighting readiness is gradually going down. If this will continue, these dogs can degenerate. The legislation of most of modern countries forbids the testing of fighting readiness of wolfhounds, who were however designed to be capable to fight and overpower a wolf, which is a quality that they are gradually losing.

Old sources speak about the dog's ability to stand the pain, to act individually, to be able to fight wolves, about true maleness in wolfhounds and about a strong will, able to resist all the opponents. These old qualities should not pass away and the testing examination of wolfhounds should continue. For without it wolfhounds will get degenerated.
