Paul,
I'm sorry I don't quite understand the purpose of your survey. Why should anybody have anything against CzWs in the UK? If they can be successfully bred in many European countries, why should UK be excluded from the list? We all know that CzWs ARE dogs, we all know that they are very special - Gaga put it nicely that in comparison with well socialised CzWs, dogs of other breeds seem a bit autistic

. Personally I see no reason why CzWs should be banned from the UK if MUCH more dangerous breeds are allowed there. I know somebody here in Poland who has a very good job opportunity in UK and would like to spend a couple of years there, but he is afraid to take his CzW with him. Absurd, isn't it?

There are cases of insensitive, stupid, incompetent or greedy breeders everywhere in the world, not only in France or potentially in the UK, and they breed not only CzWs. What's more, there are probably fewer such cases among CzWs breeders, since the dogs are not easy to raise and handle by beginners and, thanks God, the breed is not dramatically popular.

But when DEFRA finally agrees to legitimise CzW in the UK the first British breeders will bear great responsibility at least to try to control who buys the pups so that the dogs do not fall into hands of immature or irresponsible owners who know nothing about the breed and just want to act as "walking with wolves"

By the way, has Annika contacted you? I wish you all the best in your struggle with Defra. From what I know about British administration (I used to live in England) it is very dificult to break through their mental barriers, but once it's done, they claim it was their original idea.

I suppose in about 50 years time there will be attempts to change the CzW into "British Wolfdogs"
