Demand will fall also when we start to "advertise" European breeders, at least till normal breeding starts here.

Market from novice breeders that have only owned this breed for Short period, that may still not be KC registered. All i can see here is disaster! Do you honestly believe that All these puppies you breeders are selling to the UK in Jan Wont be used as breeding stock? Rubbish each and everyone Will I bet my life on it! |

Seems to be a lot of pessimism ....How many people in the UK have bought a dog from a European breeder, with the agreement they would not breed and then went ahead and bred anyway?

Do you think things should be left as they are?? Are you happy with the breed as it is in this country? If not what would your solution be? People are at least trying here to head in the right direction, a bit of positive input might be nice? |

How about starting off with a Code of ethics?
Listing what would be the criteria for membership? Or possibly different levels of membership? |

I bought outside the UK and never crossed my mind to breed my dog, I wanted a companion not a money making machine! I do believe I am 'rare'! |

you only need to type into google and theres 5 well known breeders of CSW and also the majority of these dabble in mixing the wolfdog breed. Just by looking on puppy sale sites there are a number of 'back yard breeders' who are selling CSW and mixed, who dont have big websites but use such sites. Throughout this thread U.K. non owners and mixed bred dog owners are eager to bring in pups to then form a breeding pool, however it still concerns me the number who dislike these breeders, rant on about them but yet are happy to line their pockets and buy their dogs. Double standards ? On here out of the posting members other than tupacs who bought her dog from one of the said breeders has a pure CSW that is not from a british breeder? and doesnt breed, I ask? I can only find a few which makes me rare IMO |

Personally I could not travel at the moment, as I said I am willing to help, but i have a cross and it is unlikely I will ever own a CSV, that does not mean I wouldn't like to help in any way I can. |

I am the 3rd breeder in America. I am a "Novice" because I have only had 1 litter - ever! However, what sets me apart from the likes of certain posters here is the fact that I abide by "ETHICS". Yes, people actually use them, especially those who genuinely care. I am not making money from my pups! I am still in debt from all of the health tests I have performed on my adults... I still have pups from March! I am not breeding again until I have them all in proper homes and also have proper homes reserving puppies from my next litter (after that, I will have to wait for my girl to go into heat again - NOT THE SAME BITCH!) I want to see the UK head in the proper direction. The government already has its eye on "Dangerous Animals", so wouldn't it make sense to not cross, but to focus on improving the "pure" dogs, at least in the beginning??

There are not 5 well known breeders... There are plenty who are crossing crosses with crosses, in the same way there is even more people crossing 'inuits', GSD's, huskeys etc.

We have organized / are organizing ours in the USA via internet. I have not had to travel. Marcy travels, but she shows a lot too. I plan on traveling and showing in the future, but it is possible to minimize travel.
