WOW! look at all the replies. Sorry guys I have been a little busy lately and havent written back. Hey another aussie GREAT! Where abouts in Australia do you live? Thanks everybody there have been some very important points made. Let me tell you all a bit about myself. Firstly my real name is Janet and I am 23 years old. Yes that is young but I have grown up with dogs and I am working on becoming an animal behaviourist or Ethologist. I already own one Czech Shepherd. This is also a wolfdog but looks a bit like a shepherd. I LOVE wolves and I am planning on visiting a country where I can see these animals in the wild. I also hope to actually visit the breeder before I purchase. So you can add another $10,000 to the cost. I also estimated it would cost $10,000 to import and that England would be best but I am waiting to see what happens with DEFRA. I will not be purchasing imediately and since I have already known about this breed for 5 years I feel that I know this breed as much as I can given the distance. I also have looked into other breeds so I know that I really like this particullar breed. I hope to keep contact with breeders through this site so that when I do travel I will know a little about them and there dogs. I would be happy to either do a joint-venture or talk about pups that I import (keep in mind this may be another 5 years away) with any other Australian. I intend to breed so hopefully I can bring out more than one dog and I also intend to keep track of pups sold and would take unwanted animals back free of charge. I grew up with troubled dogs that had to be re-homed and I know the amount of work that goes into it. I hope that answers every bodies questions thanks again for so many wonderful replies.
P.S I am not worried to much about price, I want an animal that Australia can look at as the same as the rest of the world, not some new breed.
