Saarloos mixes by "Crying Wolf" kennel (CSV red colored)

[admin]

After several emails I received last time and taking into consideration the behavioral of the mentioned breeder and her lack of any will to cooperation by clearing this case I must suggest that we have here to do not with an mutation but with intentional mixes.

I received information that by Crying Wolf appeared two litters which show many characteristics typical for Saarloos + overgrown sizes. It is strange that nobody was suprised (even in the origin countries) that by kennel where dogs hardly reach the minimum size unexpectedly appeared litters where females are even bigger than the Czech lines - usually about 68cm. A MIRACLE? Only children can believe it it.

Examples:
females with 68cm:



and typical weak Saarloos expresion

It seems that "affected" are not only suggested litters of T-Crying wolf and S-Crying Wolf but also V-Crying Wolf and Y-Crying Wolf. And their offsprings.

We ask for help to clear this problem. The breeder do not want to cooperate (no wonder if she knews what she is doing). The Hungarian Kennel is also not a big help: it was already proven by the problems with export pedigrees and another issues connected with Crying Wolf kennel.

WE ask for help the Slovak club and some of the suspiciurs animals are living also there and there was at last one litter of one the the "Saarloos" females.

These photos show clearly that it is indeed not only a different colour but they are mixes !
From the beginning of the discussion here it was all time much more probably that a mixing had taken place.

Just what nebulosa, wolfin , me and others had already strongly supposed before....

In spite of this it´s not very pleasant news .

very sad for the breed and even sadder for the breed in England if the 'crying wolf' imports are related to these 'mixes', as they were meant to bring 'new blood' into the country

[Shadowlands]

So is it only these 4 litters that are suspect? There was talk of Galiba being suspect too, I think, or was he the dog reported on the pedigree to be the father of a litter when it is suspected he is not?? I am worried as he is sibling to Gaia who appears in our girl's pedigree - where will it all end and where does it leave the breed? Not good news for the people who have bought and bred offspring of these dogs in the belief they had pure bred CsV's.

I do not see any reason to import a puppy from a farm-like kennel like Crying wolf - well, maybe when the only reason is a breeder, who agrees to sell with no questioning. There are a lot of kennels with much more worth "new bloods"...
Do you have many crying wolf dogs in your country?

The list of suspected mix breed Cs Vlcaks are growing rapidly, I did send a e-mail to the FCI in 2009 but nothing did happen, they did not even care to respond, I think ALL breeders need to act on this at the same time, if ALL serious breeders sign a letter demanding FCI to act, it will be very hard for them not to, off course we also need SL and CZ club + other big clubs to support this... As it is now nothing is happening and the list of suspected mixes are growing longer and longer by the day.

Why stop at breeders - surely a petition signed by all owners who care about the breed would be as, if not more, powerful... All that is needed is for someone (or a club) to draw up a letter and post it for people to sign (is there anyone who is considered 'senior' in the breeders, they would be a good person to draw up the letter and have it translated into all languages)

I am responding not only on the topic of Issar Kollarov dvor’s paternity but on paternity dispute in general. We all know well that only DNA tests compulsory in all countries can solve the situation finally. False data on parents can impact all breeders and owners. Financial issue is complicated, but solvable. I assume that it should be organised officially on breeders’ clubs or superior organisations (if there is no CSW club in a particular country yet) level.
At present, Issar Kollarov dvor really is in Crying Wolf kennel but I am still his owner. Mating Issar x Flash CW (litter Y CW) happened when Issar was still at my place and when I was present there.
Slovak CSW club asked me for co-operation in this particular case yesterday, therefore I will provide the Slovak club with potential information. I will deal with the situation in close contact with Edit Molnar, of course.
However, the whole CSW community should realise that accusing any particular breeder on any forum and asking for DNA test that way we will never achieve anything. Doing a DNA test is just the step A, we have to think about consequent steps as well. In cases of particular DNA tests carried out BEFORE introducing compulsory tests in all countries it will be inevitable to answer many questions, such as:

Who is eligible to ask for a test?
Provided the owner/breeder agrees to do the test, who covers the test and related costs?
What happens if the test confirms the parents data being false?

Well, at least in Lithuania it works like this:
If there is a serious possibility (accusation with arguments), that parents of a litter might be others than written in pedigree, Lithuanian Cynological society has a right to ask the breeder for DNA tests. If the answer shows, that the parents are REALLY the ones, that are written in pedigree, the Cynological society pays for the tests. If DNA shows, that breeder was cheating, he/she pays for it. I am sure there is a way to "cancel" the legitimacy of the pedigrees of the litter - just to put a stamp "not for breeding"

This weekend had unofficial conversation with the authorities of Lithuanian Cynological society about a cases of mixes in some countries. In their opinion, kennel clubs of these countries should be really interested in cases like de la louve blanche kennel's Such facts make bad impact for the reputation of all the breeders in that country, so I guess there is only one way - informing the kennel clubs of sertain countries about cheating with pedigrees.

Could somebody knowlegeable explain what it means exactly that Kennel Club of a particular country is responsible for a particular breed? I imagine the KC must keep and guard the original herd books and approve any changes in the breed standard. But are there any other international/legal rights and obligations connected with being the "breed-guard"?

Kennel club (the main one, like Związek Kynologiczny w Polsce in Poland) gives dogs their pedigrees and put their name on them - so they should be very interested in using the name of their organisation on some faked pedigrees.

It's logical what you write and I fully agree... But my question was what legal rights and obligations would Związek Kynologiczny w Polsce have if some foreign breeder(s) tried to fake pedigrees of Polish national breeds litters, e.g. of Polish hound or Tatra sheepdog... Would the Polish KC have any authority and 'legal space' to act in such situations or would everything depend on the KC of the country where the fraud took place?

I'm not mentioning particular breed clubs, because I assume they should in principle cooperate closely with their national kennel club, which affiliate directly with FCI (?)

Under the AKC in the USA, persons can submit information and evidence of falsifying pedigree and/or "hanging" papers - meaning that the registration papers are real, but meant for another litter or perhaps extra registrations from another litter were used on a false litter- to the AKC investigations board.. they can and will request DNA and I assume pay for this testing.

If the tests confirm the parents data being false, the AKC has, and continues to, issue suspensions to the breeders/kennel of all privileges, this includes registering new litters, transferring existing dogs (no papers will be provided for this), showing dogs, etc etc. The suspensions can last anything from a few weeks to even 10 years or even a life-time suspension, depending on severity, intent, etc. Also, such a suspension often accompanies fines in the thousands of USD.

Furthermore, falsified litters do have their pedigree and registrations revoked and removed from the stud books. Finally, the AKC can make reinstatement after suspension of privileges contingent upon the kennel starting out with all new breed stock from known lines and pedigrees.

Here is an example of the announced suspensions during one board meeting (starting from around the middle of the page):

Draggar, I think if we cannot trust Sonya, than we can trust nobody, including ourselves.

But does this preclude a double-covering if the timing was right?

only one - question - was this female ALL time per shes heat in Sonja house or not? if a little read about ovulation - female in this same heat can mate with moore males whenh shes ovulation are longer like one day.
but realy reproductor owner all time want a DNA test and have later easy antswer who is who.

I'm not sure where this comment is going - I'm assuming that you're saying the breeding took place at where you are (and not that someone else was claiming to use a stud that was in your posession?) and that you (for the lack of a better phrase) managed the actual mating (you were there, made sure everything went OK, etc..)?

My concern is that Pollux (Yolka's son) exhibits some Saarloos behavior - I've never denied that he's large or rather skittish. We never attributed his size to anything and thought his temeprament was from enviroment and not genetic. Genetics (especially recessive genetics) tend to pop up in grandchildren which is what Pollux would be to the sire in question (Issar).

We have to Yolka children in this country (both from the P litter) and if there is mix in there we'd need to know quickly before they're in the gene pool here in the USA - it would be devastating to the breed if we have to take many dogs out of the breeding pool ~10 years from now because of this. Our gene pool here is already very small and I'm sure people can understand the concern that I have over this.

It wasn't a matter of trust, I just missed her post.

Well, you/your wife are in control of Pollux and I don't know if Partha's owner is planning to breed her. It's pretty controllable at this point.. if in doubt, just don't breed them at all?

Technically we're not in complete controll, his "owner" still has full control but I'm sure my wife's opinions and suggestions will carry some weight. It'll be sad if he is a mix, he does have some good qualities (he's goofy in the house, he's very good looking, he does well out on the schutzhund field, I'm sure he'll be a good tracker, etc), he's also starting to be protective of the house, etc.

I'm also trying to make sure I have the right person who owns Partha before I start to talk to them.

To be honest I find it rather strange not to trust Sonjas words, I know you know her quite well, we both know that she will not give a statement like this if she wouldn´t be sure.
At this point we maybe should stop and think a little bit about what we are hopping on here. A virtual person has thrown in an idea basing on some photos. looking especially on the photo with the weak Saarlos impression I had to grin, I know one Czech female - of her origin I have no doubt at all - that looks exacly the same, apart from a totally untypical head.
