No, not a dig at all. Two of Andre's puppies - Jorja and Raider - were (according to the wolfdog.org database, stemming from the info on forum member "neesk") reportedly living in the US. Given the situation with Paul, de Louba Tar, etc. - and the lack of transparency/honesty, I became quite interested (back in 2008...) in the fact that someone had imported "suspicious pedigree" dogs - and what it might mean for our breed in the US (there are also lines in those breedings which must be carefully considered for health, especially HD). I think the info about the dogs living in the US might actually be wrong...at some point "neesk" and user "malgor" were merged into one on the forum, but it's hard to say.
In any case, I am quite serious in wondering if the questioning of Brix Bis's pedigree was ever resolved. He is clearly a fundamental dog in the breed for the UK as it exists today - should the breed become accepted with the KC, I suspect many Americans (given the fear of language barriers) will try to import from the UK. The direction owners/breeders in the UK decide to go could have an impact for the breed here as well.
Does the KC have a policy on DNA profiling of imported dogs? The AKC requires all imported dogs to be DNA profiled before registering a litter from them - if it is the same with the KC, it would be tricky to register even pure dogs if the initially imported dogs were deceased or unavailable (and unable to be profiled). Our club has requested the AKC to create mandatory DNA profiling for domestically bred CSVs as well...but we shall see. Now we must deal with the lack of reliability of CW dogs here...it's a shame how innocent people must be left picking up the pieces from lies of other breeders.
