Hi,
I’ve spent some time working and living in UK. During this time tried to find people with CsV. I’ve contacted a lot people in love with Czech Wolfdogs. Some of them are the owners of CsV. As you know CsV are not recognized breed in UK. It means for “breeders” – they can’t sell puppies as pure breed. So any people I’ve contacted decided to cross pure Czech, as they want this blood for pups, but have no hope for “legal” litters.
To be true – this people are not ready to fight for Wolfdogs. They may love them, adore them, they want to breed them but… nothing more.
I met in UK one man Wolfdog crazy. He and his family left all and decided to go one way – Czech Wolfdog way. They live close to their CsV, spent whole time with them.
They are brave – they keep Czech Wolfdogs officially – as CsV, even they could be punished for this. They do lot’s of paperwork with UK Kennel Club, year after year trying to be closer to recognition of the breed.
They do not cross CsV, keep them pure and tested.
The people are Paul and Mandy, the only ones ready to fight for Wolfdogs in UK.
They opened their house and hearts for me and my Wolfdogs. They always asked – how we can help you here in UK. And finally they helped me a lot. XXX
UK is not FCI country. It will never be that FCI rules would be there. As you live there, you can see – everything in UK is opposite than in EU.
So the HD measure is different as well.
Thinking about breeding in UK – bringing CsV to UK and making litters is first step that should be done to recognize the breed in UK. They need bigger population, if not – have no chance for recognition.
As I understand the idea – now, as CsV are not recognized, but also in future, as they will be official Kennel Club breed – UK Wolfdogs (litters) are for UK people. So they always will be “pets” for EU breeders, but breeding by Paul – we can be sure they will be pure and healthy Czech.
I’ve met Paul’s Wolfdogs few times – they are VERY open, healthy and full of joy. Full of energy as well They look much better than SOME of CsV I’ve met, showing my dogs in West EU. They love visitors. Have very nice and strong characters. I wish all CsV would have characters like them.
You may not like Paul, or ways how he is reacting, but if you think about the breed – you can sleep well.
