I understand you perfectly because that was my only concern too.

However in the specific situation of the breed in the UK any imported pup could apart from being "happy healthy example of the breed" also contribute to the breed registration. Why not use such a great opportunity.

Besides, vlcaks vary a lot one from another. It matters what looks and especially characters the parents of a particular litter have Some owners prefer active pups with strong personalities for sport and work, others might prefer pups of less independent parents. For one person big coat and small ears are important, for another - light body and good movement. Etc. etc. Some research into the breed before getting a dog is really advisable.

I have been planning on getting a CsV for several years so have researched all I can. One thing I haven't done is researched Europesn breeders as I didn't regard importing as an option with older quarantine laws.

If the breeder bothers to care for intensive early socialisation it's not problem to get a really nice 15 week-old baby vlcak from FCI country now
Good luck in your search

I agree with this! We just picked up 2 15-week'ish old puppies from Europe.. they are happy, outgoing, self assured.. and nearly housebroken.. next time I get a puppy, I will pick her up at this age too.. because the 10-15 week period for my first CSV was terrible..

Of course provided your breeder socializes them and not just keep them in a kennel somewhere!

If you will deicide to make your plans happen and you will go for FCI registered dog, please, let us know. As you aware, we need 20 unrelated dogs with FCI pedigrees. If you think you could do something more for the breed in here, join our little club

Hello Rona,

I agree with you, I live in France and have two FCC and FCi registered dogs. An enormous sociable grey wide built male sociable with a dog like manner and good worker and on the other side a slighter finer browner coloured female with good mouvement but less inclined to be a good worker and a bit more timide.
