Vegvisir (Str'Ca Vegvisiru)

Vegvisir, known formally as Str'Ca Vegvisiru, is a small Czechoslovakian vlciak kennel run by Jenna Soltis in Nashwauk, Minnesota, in the heart of the Iron Range roughly two hours north of Duluth. The kennel holds active standing with the Czechoslovakian Vlcak Club of America and competes under AKC, UKC, and ICE, while also collaborating with FCI-affiliated breeders in Europe and other reputable programs worldwide to help preserve the breed's genetic diversity in the United States.

Breeding goals at Vegvisir center on sound temperament, health, and a genuine working ethic. Because the Czechoslovakian vlciak is a rare breed in North America, the kennel pays close attention to pedigree diversity, targeting a coefficient of inbreeding at or below 3% and an ancestor loss coefficient at or above 90% when planning litters. All breeding dogs are OFA health tested, and Embark DNA panels are used to screen for genetic conditions including degenerative myelopathy, MDR1, and malignant hyperthermia, among others.

Puppies born at Vegvisir are raised in the home using the Puppy Culture protocol and receive a puppy aptitude evaluation at seven weeks. The kennel's emphasis leans more toward working and sport venues than the show ring, reflecting a commitment to keeping the breed versatile and capable across a range of activities. Those searching for Czechoslovakian vlciak puppies in Minnesota will find that Vegvisir approaches the breed as both a sporting pursuit and a long-term preservation effort.
