I agree that the quality of breeding can be good also in countries which are nmot countries of origin. There are some important issues though:
1) The parents should have official bonitation. Dog-show results are not allways good for saying if the dogs are good or not, as we all know some judges don't know the breed and give bad marks to dogs for traits which we want to have in CsV (light eyes, short tail, narrow stature of front legs, etc.).
2) The breeding should be either according to a breeding plan, or at least it should follow some principles - if there is some fault, only one of the parents is allowed to have it and the other one should be very good in this trait (if one parent has darker eyes, the other should have very nice, yellow eyes), bad traits are not used in breeding (missing teeth, shy chracter, aggresive character, etc).
3) The parents should be x-rayed.
4) The puppies should be well socialized.
There are also more things, but I think these are very important. Especially the first two points. And of course, the breeders in countries of origin HAVE TO follow the first two points, while in most other countires they don't have to... Therefore it is easier to find bad-breeding puppies in countries other than countries of origin. But, there are also breeder in other countries, which bonitate their dogs and follow the principles of good breeding and therefore it is safe to take puppies from them.
