I hope one- USA breeder have brain and see who he make with breeding- hope Marcy help with this. My not very like situation when we can have in future "USA wolfdog" - new breed with USA dogs breeding typs (who we can see in others breeds) - longhairig, or with bad angulation or with bad collor. If owner interesing in litters who want buy, not listen only bla bla bla - be ok. I hope...

Cool! Which dog? Which state? I try to maintain a list of dogs in the US - it was really nice when Elf's program "revealed" all of the dogs that lived here (for now, anyways, it's possible to know how many dogs we have here - but not who or where - from the WD database). I hope also, that our breeding program puts out dogs that fit the European standard - I know it's something I look for in my own program...somehow I think we will need to figure out an efficient, reasonable way to use European rated studs though...not only the dogs that are imported permanently here. I spoke recently with a vet clinic who specializes in AI in the US - they said the costs for import/use of frozen AI are approximately $3,000, they usually have pretty good results with other breeds - but still a huge (expensive) risk.
