Shipping a Czech Wolfdog

[Nebulosa]

Would be great if you import a pup paying attention to the blodline of him, the breeding in mexico is quite new and good imports can help the breeding developement in your country a lot.
Also another good thing is study about the breed and whats going on before import your pup, mainly now, when we have several breedings breeding mixes (non pure CzW) with fake pappers, also that those people are willing to send dogs to foreing countries.

A good breeder will not easily accept to sell a pup to you.

First of all thank you a lot for all the answers , this is my first time buying this kind of puppy (if you haven't noticed hehe).

Could you help me know which breeders offer quality and are trusthworthy in Czech Republic or Slovakia , I am looking forward to go pick it up myself.

Also other than the lineage what should I be looking at ?.

Thanks a lot, great forum and a great community.

The breeder should pay atention to hips and elbows displasy in his selection, as he should be informed about DM and have a plan for work with it fitting with the breed situation in his place.
A good breeder will also not use show titles as proof of quality, because he will be informed enough to know that show titles mean simply nothing to the breed selection.
A good breeder will never have perfect dogs, he will always know the problems which exist in the lines he is working with, in his dogs and he should see no problems to talk about it openly.

Take a look here in Wolfdog at "coming litters" There are many offers. Or in Czech Club of CSW breeders. Find some breeder, who is able to communicate with you (even with translator), because good breeder will want to ask you a lot of questions (it was told here already) and you will also need help with puppy transport back to your country.
Check the airlines conditions - for exampl Czech Airlines says about dog on board: "The animal must be placed in a special crate (max. dimensions 48 x 32 x 29 cm, max. weight of the crate with animal 8 kg)" - 8 kilos is not much and the dimensions also. It is for puppy max. 7 weeks old. Are you allowed to bring such young puppy to your country? Etc., etc....
It is a lot of work to buy a puppy, isn´t it?

It is against all airline industry regulations to send a puppy under the age of 8 weeks, some insist that the dog be 10 weeks. Recently, some airlines (maybe the whole airline industry) says that dogs must have a certain clearance above their EARS to travel (which makes the need for a bigger crate with a point-earred dog). I have yet to have an 8 week old CSV puppy that would be small enough to fit under my seat with these regulations (maybe a very small female right at 8 weeks). There are also many regulations on temperature for traveling with a dog - related to hot and cold temperature. Cold is usually easier than hot.

I doubt any of our puppies would meet the 8kg WITH crate limit at 10 weeks - they are over 5kg at 6 weeks not including the crate! And, as Galomy Oak says, they require a large crate that allows them to stand with clearance above their ears and space to turn around. Accompanied travel is the only way you can transport a CsV puppy.

A very valid point and one you should not ignore Good breeders want to know everything about you (including your inside leg measurement - only joking ) and will not easily accept sending a puppy so far away from home. Be prepared to be asked a LOT of questions (very intimate ones too) - if you are not, then try another breeder

Also, don't forget about health issues - reputable breeders will be having all their breeding stock tested for DM and most now test all the puppies in a litter - if they have not (and the results will appear on the database if they have), again, consider another breeder.

Good luck with your research, your search and hopefully with your new puppy And always remember, the breed name is the CZECHOSLOVAKIAN Wolfdog (and do not shorten it unless to initials CsV or CzW)
