After having met Luna, she has been doing a lot of research on her own, and her dog experience is pretty vast - she has trained and titled dogs on a National level - high in trials, even been invited to Japan for a couple of months to travel around and lecture on dog training and competition. So I am not concerned with the fact that Luna is her only experience with a CsV.
Once she has made a commitment to a breed, she is very loyal. Part of her interest in the breed is similar to mine - to get in "on the ground floor" as it were and make sure that this breed is successfully maintained in this country. In her research on the breed, she was quite taken with their beauty and intelligence as well as their working ability.
Her biggest concern is that she has no knowledge of or connection with anyone in the Vlcak community. So, as I have been researching them for almost 2 years now and I am on the forum, etc., she felt that I would be better at finding her a good pup. In German Shepherds, for instance, it is personal connections that get you a good import.
So I will go back to some of the breeders I made contact with in my original search, and see what we can find.
I do apologize to any of those folks who thought my "American approach" was a bit overboard. <grin> For those who know me personally, I can be VERY enthusiastic...
