Hi,
Really the discussion about European prices is not relevant to us in Australia.The exchange rate is though.At the moment one Australian dollar is worth .50 Euros,so when asking about the price we must double it,of course the exchange rate varies day to day.Also,for a dog the size of a CzW,I have been quoted about $3500US,or about $5000Australian to ship from Germany.Lets not forget price of blood tests,which varies,and may have to be repeated,also a dog,regardless of it's test results must undergo a MINIMUM of 30 days Quarantine in Australia,more if required,at a cost of $1000+.BUT we also need a licence from the Gov't to import any dog and a different one for Wolfdogs,which must be at least 6 generations from any pure wolf blood.All up to import a dog from Europe should average $10000(these are my estimates based on more expensive figures).
