Of all of the owners I have met, and/or corresponded with, yes, I believe everyone has very responsible and good hopes and intentions for the breed in the US. However, I do not know of all owners in the US (I am only aware of around 12-13 dogs, though the website says there are 24, and how many have not been recorded on the website as well?), and certainly more CSVs will be imported in time. There is no way to tell the intentions of these owners, or what their "activities" are; one can only hope they are admirable...this is why I think NOW is as a good a time as any to form a breed club in the US - while we have a group of responsible and caring owners, who are willing to learn and do good things for the breed, and before dishonest owners and breeders, hungry for money or status, attempt to shape the CSV's future in the US.
Even with a US club and it's bylaws regarding health, character, working, conformation and DNA testing, very unfortunately, it is still possible to breed an AKC registered litter from a terrible match...
Mikael, give Hronec our best (especially from Hronsek!)
