Well as for the law rules regarding import I have a good overview of them since I have both read the rules from "mattilsynet" and spoken with "mattilsynet" personally about the import. Germany is listed as a rabies free nation so after I give an import declaration to the "mattilsynet" they shall give me an import allowance of a pup below 3 months. So there will be no quarantine etc. The customs need only the paper from the "mattilsynet" that I will get before the import.

If everybody had to relay on other SW owners then there would be only SW owners in Trondheim, but from what I know there are going to be many new SW owners in Norway in 2010 and probably many of them will live far away from Trondheim. So it should be possible by using a proper amount of time, patience and carefullness to properly train a SW. And I am not totally unexperienced since I have about 14 years of experience with a German Sheperd.

And if you say that SW owners dont exist in public well then maybe its the reason why the law is so "unsafe". In England the CSV was banned too and then they took a very public course of action which made the ban lifted. So maybe its something to think about I dont know. The wolfhaters are like 0,1 % of the whole population I think or maybe I have just had the luck of never meeting anyone of them. I think you can find more "rotweiler-haters" in Norway, and still Rotweilers are not in danger of being illegal.

I think that the other reason of not meeting so many SW owners on the foras is that the race is not so well known as the CSV so its not only in Norway but in other countries too that its hard to find any SW forum, it was even hard to find the breeders in Europe (where the dog is not in any "unsafe" position) so the cause is maybe the rareness of the breed too.

If you already think that I am an "irresponisible" owner....well I dunno what you do base this statement upon other than the fact that I think that more publicity about a race and more knowledge will just be good and not bad. I think that most "bans" and quarries between people come from the lack of knowledge and the fear of the "unknown".

I think there are few dog owners that use/will use so much time and effort on their dog and really care about it. And I am not a person that do easily give up when meeting on difficulties. I am not confident that I will do it perfectly or anything like that but I know that with enough effort it should go well and I can always ask both the breeder and other people who own SWs if something is not as it should be.

I think that it could be wiser to think about those anonymous 11 or more new SW owners that will get their dogs in 2010 in Norway than about me. What is hidden from the public eyes is more often the reason of something not wanted that happen. Instead of using your efforts on criticising me because I am going to have a SW, it could be actually better to give some helpful advice......(just dont tell me to resign from buying the dog).
