Hi,

I had brief email contact with this guy. I don't have an opinion because I don't know them but so far I do feel uneasy. My reasons are that when I first saw the site his two pups were, 1 Tamaskan and 1 Czechoslovakian Wolfdog. I replied to an email saying I hope you don't find this question patronising and are able to put my mind at rest but you don't plan on breeding the two together do you. I made a comment like it would be a great shame for the Czechoslovakian Wolfdog to be cross bred here before they are even a breed here in the UK - a bit like ruining everything before a start has even been made. I would have been really pleased to get a informative response back saying they agreed and had no plans to cross the two but I never heard back

I'm not saying that these people will be crossing but they didn't take the opportunity to confirm they would not be.

Also I am uncomfortable that they have a 'donations' page where you can donate if you believe certain animals should be reintroduced to the Scottish Highlands - which is great, but it says nothing of their involvement in this project and gives no details of funding and what people will be donating towards in direct relation to these people.

It's a shame because on one hand it look very professional in the visual sense but sadly very lacking with words.

I've no doubt they love their dogs but I don't believe they want what is best for the Czechoslovakian Wolfdog as a breed at this time.

I would like to also know where they acquired the pup and if the breeder knows of the possibility of cross breeding it if indeed that is to be the case. If however they mean well and do not plan on crossing their dogs I wish them all the best.
