Has anyone dealt with shipping dogs overseas?
|
In the fact it is sometimes easier to send a puppy/dog do US than to other country in Europe...
So if you will find a breeder which will ship there will be no problem to get a puppy...

And can you put two puppies in a kennel together or do they have to be in seperate kennels?
|
No, they must travel in separate kennels. But if you will buy a puppy you can pick it up personally you can take it with you on board (in this case you don't need to pay for the puppy an extra price....)

I totally forgot to ask, what is the price of a puppy and what is the price of a breeding adult? I know they will be expensive... but how much?
|
Take a look on this "old" topic...

Of course it will differ from one breeder to another but the average is about 1000€ (I think that is about 1200$).
|
Average? No - it is pretty high price. The price for a CzW in West Europe suggested for example by German Club is 950EUR, in Holland 850 EUR, aso... And the prices in East Europe are lower or much lower.
Sure you can also buy a puppy from a huge factory with recognized "trade mark" (something like Rebook or Nike
) which exist for example in Italy for 1500EUR but if you are looking for good socialized puppy from an interesting mating I will suggest to buy a puppy from smaller breeder where the puppies grow up at home with a lot of attention and contact with people - you will see the difference already by a puppy. If you plan to breed with the dog smaller breeder is also much better choice because such breeders care for interesting and precious matings while huge breeder are simply not able to cover their bitches with the best dogs of this breed (are not able to travel with every female for example abroad) - if someone has many females he will be forced to use his own stud dogs even if they are not very nice and they do not fit to the females (because of the genetic, health and exteriour reasons) and by the puppies you will be have multiplicied faults of the parents....

I love raising puppies, yes... but it's kind of a mixed bag as to what they will look like (with this breed at least), it seems. If I want to breed CzW's, I can't get all puppies and just hope they grow up to be nice looking dogs... with an adult I know what it looks like and how it compares to the standard already... so I can get top of the line, nice looking dogs and produce my own line of nice looking puppies. And that way I dont have to wait 1 year, to see if they are along the lines I want (and of a breedable standard), and then 2 more years before they mature enough to be bred.
|
Sure, you are right. But we say "nobody sells best horses from his stable" - nobody will sell you very good adult dog. In all this years I never heard about selling a REAL "champion"...
But sure you can find people which because of some reasons offer good quality adult dogs...

I have another question... I don't understand the hip scores that the dogs have... is A(0/0) a good thing? What are the different scores on the CzW and which is good and which is bad?
|
A and B means hips are clear. 'A' is absolutly clear. And 'B' ist border value but still without dysplasy. 'C' is light, 'D' average and 'E' strong dysplasy. The numbers in bracket say about separate hips 0=A, 1=B, 2=C, 3=D, 4=E. So the results C(0/2) means the dogs has light dysplasy but one hip is 0 (clear) and second is 2 (light dysplasy).
