Oh, it is....
Because there is something else behind it. As you wrote: it will be very expensive to import CzW to Australia. So it make no sence to import ordinary, "middle quality" dogs but it is better to buy typical dogs which can be good start for this breed in Australia. By many other breeds it is pretty easy to buy puppies from outstanding litters or puppies of promise - if you pay more you will get better puppy. But not by Czechoslovakian Wolfdogs. There are CzW breeders in "West" and "East" Europe. In East Europe the puppies are on average 50% cheaper than in the 'West'. But in many cases there are not worser but even better than more expensive puppies (it is also not surprising because we talk about origin countries).
So the main point is not "buy the puppy in XXX because it is cheaper". But "don't pay attention to the price because it do not garantee anything". The only chance to find good breeder/litter with good puppies is to check their parents, their achivements, show and working results, aso, aso. And Wolfdog.org offers all this information and good overview....
