Having met Marcy and talked with her I can confirm Vicky's words, that she is a person you may fully trust. Being the first US breeder Marcy feels the responsibility for creating the sound foundations for the breed development in the USA and I suppose she might advise you best out of which pups you might import yours if you decided to do so. Provided you want to contribute to the development of the breed - you plan breeding/using your dog as a stud (or might plan in the future)
it's very imporant which bloodlines you import from Europe. They should suit the ones that are already in the USA - i.e. be genetically remote, as
healthy as possible (some carry genetic hip dysplasia and other diseases
) and.... nice so that your dog could be safely matched with other US CSVs.
BTW Vicky has asked you the right questions and gave you good advice. Don't jump into anything hastily, do your homework, go to Galomy Oak to see the animals live (it's the same state you live in, isn't it?
), read the WD site and forum to find out more about the CSVs behaviour, about the breed itself, genetic diseases, training methods and... breeders
For it's very important you get a pup that has been well socialized and used to humans from its early days. The time you spend on research will not be wasted - later it could save you a lot of worry, time and money spent on vets, etc.
I also wish you good luck and a lovely czechoslovakian vlcak
