I guess the real discussion about importing CzW's to Australia should focus on whether it should happen at all and the importer is fully aware of the personality of the breed.It's all well and good to want a dog like this but a potential owner should ask every possible question of the breeder,and if the breeder becomes annoyed or can't honestly answer a question,regardless of price or looks,then the buyer shouldNOT buy from them.Also a person should read EVERYTHING about the dog and about wolves,should have experience in training and know how dogs communicate with each other and humans.An owner should also know about problem solving and how to react in situations of aggression,submission and be able to react instantly in these situations AND be prepared to get hurt IF such situations arise.YES I said BE PREPARED TO GET HURT!!! I am a certified Dog trainer,I have been bitten in the most innocent situations and in dangerous situations.I was also a security guard with dog and have had to defend myself and my dog in some tough situations and have been bitten,WHY? Because all dogs are still 75% wild in their brain and react in a kill or be killed way in a threatening circumstance and even though your a dogs owner,if your in a dogs way YOU PAY.I just want people to know the truth,I am NOT implying only wolfdogs are like this,all dogs can be,I'm just saying to fellow Aussies be aware that before you commit to any body that you do your research
