Hello,
This topic has been discussed several times over the years. The answers normally are allways the same. My opinion as a breeder is (and I know that most other breeders think the same way): Yes of course I would be willing to export a puppy to another country, it doesn´t really matter wich one. And yes of course I am willing to wellcome puppybuyers to our house answer all their questions, help them to find the right dog for them, help them to get in contact with other breeders I know in my ore other countries.
But am I willing to send a puppy all around the world to a person I don´t know at all? No I won´t do that. As Pavel wrote to the puppieprices good breeders invest a lot of time and money in their litters and dogs. Our dogs are family members, when we plan a litter it takes us very much work and costs to find the right male to breed our bitch to. To raise a litter means a terrible lot of work for weeks if you want to do it properly. We haven´t slept a night through for weeks now, because the first week the bitch needs to go out at night several times, sometimes the puppies cry and you have to have a look if everything is allright. Now in the last weeks the puppies still stay in the house most of the time because there are two meters of snow outside, they celebrate technoparties every night that last till the early hours in the morning and continue very early the next day. It too is everytime again very impressive what a total mess eight little creatures can make out of a big room in very few hours.
If you want to socialise them properly you have to take them out with you a lot, you have lots of people coming in and out of your house and, and, and.
Having gone through all of this you value a puppy quite high, not only in the economical point of view but in the emotional one too. We really want to be sure that the dog has a good home where it is happy and can stay the rest of it´s live. We don´t want it to be abused or sold several times or end up in a animal shelter or be just a number in a breeding kennel having as much litters as possible. That means we want to know the person it is sold to as good as possible before he gets a dog from us, you can´t do that on the phone and I don´t know anyone who knows you I can ask about you.
And I wouldn´t buy a dog for myself from a breeder that is willing to sell it to me just because I can afford to pay for it, without knowing anything about me.
From your point of view: You will have to go through some trouble to get a dog to your country and you have to pay a lot of money for it. You can´t just go to the breeder and give the dog back because it is ill or not properly socialised. You pay the same price for an exellent dog or for a horrible one and it is difficult to get advise if you have any problems. So it is in your interest too that you know the breeder you are buying of and you know some dogs and how they should bee and look like before you get yourself one. Maybee this breed isn´t the right breed for you, they are quite special and normally a pain in the neck several times the day the first two years of their life, they are very destructive, don´t like to stay alone, get bored very soon and manage to break out or in wherever they want.
So my advise for you would be to come to Europe first to find out more about the breed and find a good breeder for you. There will be a lot of enthusiastics helping you with that.
Please don´t understand me wrong of course you can buy and import a dog to your country and you will find that a lot of people will help you with it, including us. You normally just need the usual vaccinations, a veterinary control (maybe not even that) and a good company for the transfer. I just tried to say that dogs shouldn´t be a trading item to be delivered by plane.
