I also see over the years on this site more and more questions on health issues in the CVS, In uk I want all CVS must have health cheeks done before breeding age, dogs that have problems will not have there breeding restrictions lifted if they fail any test and so any pups that may get breed by these dogs can never have pedigree, sure it will be hard but at least it is good start for breed in u.k., yes i have sold dogs to people who have now cross breed but they signed papers with me on sale of pups that they would never do this, but i can not control this as the breeders in Europe can not control it either, we can not see into the future, we can not know when selling a pup what people will do, we can only meet the people and from what they tell us we decide to sell pup or not,, it is a thing that every breeder will do, the dogs i have sold that have been used by people who gross bred i am not responsable for what they do, but as the breeder when the breed does get recognition i can if i want choose not to register the litter with the kennel club, this would mean there dogs even though they are pure CSV will never have pedigrees.....then they learn not to break promise and cross breed the CVS with other breeds. pacino kennels

Thank you for this...I have the same fears about the CSV in the US, that it will end up in the hands of someone who will use it for crossbreeding, and affect the reputation and/or the genepool of CSVs here, eventually. I don't think anyone says that these crosses happen only in the UK - there is a higher concentration considering the small amount of dogs in the UK, I believe, and some of the UK crossbreeders openly boast about their practices on their websites, whereas other crossbreeders elsewhere keep their practices a little more hidden. I think maybe the best way to prevent crossbreeding is to be transparent, open, and honest as CSV owners and breeders, and not try to hide things, even if they are our own mistakes. If we see something strange outside of our own homes and kennels, I don't think it is wrong to question it. If there is nothing to hide, then the truth should prevail, and there is no problem.
Paul, I've asked you before, and now again - who are the CSVs in the UK that you know of, where are they, and who owns them? Have some of the UK CSVs come to the US?
