It is always hard to start...
Everywere it was the same... I remember the time when Poland was treated like "Third World" - if someone was interested in a puppy but was not personal friend of the breeder it was not possible to get a puppy from the best kennels and if you found someone who was prepared to send you the puppy to abroad you always get the worsest one. Sure also today I see that some breeders sell pet-wolfdogs even to people which clearly say they want a show quality dog. But it is no more intended behaviour but lack of knowledge about the typical look of CzW by some breeders.
Now it changed a lot. Thanks to the information flow through the internet the breeders and owners in Europe have the possiblity to get the puppies were ever they want.
It is also changing in the case of USA and Russia. I would say till this year it was not possbile even for people REALLY interested in this breed from these countries to get good quality puppies (if they didn't have good contact with CzW breeders).
The problem of USA was that the breed was not recognized by AKC and many dogs were imported as "wolfdogs" (non purebreed). People were not interested in CzW as a breed.
Russia was the country where "wolfdogs get lost"...
So for years the only possiblity for CzW fans from USA, Canada or Russia to get a CzW was to order puppies in kennels which do not care about the future of their dogs and sell dogs to everyone who pay the price.... They were doomed to get the puppies from kennels which produce (and not breed) dogs....
Since the CzW owners in USA and Russia get organized I see also the attitude is changing and I hear more and more "yes, I will send the puppy to.." where you heard "NEVER" before...
UK is a different story...
In the beginning the attitude to the CzW breeders in UK was very good. We heard about efforts to get CzW recognized there.... but "one day" it changed....
The imported CzW were mixed with wolves to get wolfdogs in the american type, they were mixed with any kind of "wolf alike" mixes like Utanongans, Inuits, Cry Wolfs and other... At the moment someone from UK who is interested in good quality purebreed CzW is forced to get one from the "hidden puppy mills" (kennels producing puppies selling them to everyone - even if they have great PR here on Wolfdog
and seem to be "normal" kennels). Because I do not know any responsible breeder which will ship puppy to UK to unknown person (to a newcomer). The only chance have people which are "visible" on Wolfdog already for a longer time (Nebulosa knows it really good as she is the first person in Brasil who imported a CzW
, also for you Tikaani it should be not a problem to find a dog which will meet of your expectations)...
