This is getting really interesting. The courious thing is that I understand each one of you a little bit but not in all points
Suski, I really love your point of view and wish you all the best for you and the kids.
What I really miss is a simply honest explaination like "I love wolfish csv and I dont care if they are shy or not as long as they look like a wolf. " I am pretty sure I have heard this before. And I have seen many wonderful/beautiful dogs which were really shy and I though what a shame. Such a wonderful dog and such a bad character
Where is the problem to agree? I think the only problem is, that these dogs would never pass a proper bonitation and actually they should not be allowed to breed with. And this is what the owner or certain breeder do not agree/ cope with. They think it is a waste not to breed with a dog like this and they do not care about. They keep on going to produce good looking shy dogs. Everyone who wants to buy a puppy should be aware of this. And also that these dogs possibly are not within the standard because of this.
Here we come to the next point: Health. I fully understand that breeder and owner do not like computer, do not own computer or something like this, but I wonder why it should not be possible for each country to have a stud book with the results and information of studdogs. Male and female. OPEN to the PUBLIC like here on wolfdog. Well, in different countries the are different regulations for breeding. So this means if I need excibitions and x-rays only- it is a stud dog in this country. It is up to me, if this is good enough, or if I would like to have a bonitation and an endurance run
Actually I do prefer dogs like it. Because it is a working breed. And would like to make sure I can work with my dog.
Finally, each of us has to decide what kind of dogs we like and we want to have. And it is up to us: Owner, Buyer and Breeder, to ask for this dog.
I have to admit, there are only very few breeder where I would buy a dog without hesitating and where I can be sure what the idea of the planned litter is.
Yes, I have a favourite breeder and I would be thrilled to find out who is your - and why- but this is a thing not to ask in public because many people would feel attacked like happening here and this is something I do not want.
Regards,
Kerstin
