Thanks Rona,
Yes I am aware of the situation in the UK and I have had dealings with some people of very doubtful intentions!
I believe there are a few genuine CWD in the UK and would like to point this out in an the article. The article will also try and differentiate between the cross-breeds and the pedigree CWD and Saarloos.
As it is now clearly legal to own these two wolfdog breeds, it is up to the genuine breed enthusiasts to form a club, keep proper records and with the help of the breed clubs in Europe and the FCI to have the breeds recognised by the UK Kennel Club, otherwise the Uk will remain a disaster area for all wolfdogs.
I have also met some owners of the cross breeds and can say not all are bad people and the dogs are very friendly, though I understand the fears of CWD owners who live outside the UK who think these cross bred dogs may be mis-represented as the real breed. I am also aware of rumours that CWD are being crossed with timber wolves; these dogs are NOT legal in the UK
.
Best wishes,
