Sure, you are supposed to take care of another living creature.
But this is not what I am talking about.
I think Per Olav describing it some better in this post: http://www.wolfdog.org/forum/showpos...&postcount=243

Haha! Personally I don`t think 2 weeks are any better. If I were you I would at least try to visit a breeder, before making a desision about if I should purschase a saarloos or not. And also I don`t think color should be so important, I think it is more important to find the rigth induvidual suited for you.

A littlebit disrespectful I think. In my opinion he already is a hero

No one else that I know of has made such a great effort to avoid or lift the banning. Your doing a great job Per Olav, after visiting your webpage I can see that you also write like a true professional!

Best regards,
Steffen

Good luck with your SW pup. It took me six months to find my first one. The Saarloos can be a very difficult dog to live with and not good with strangers or visitors. I had to move house and buy land to walk my dogs on as my neighbours didn't like them at all; even though they always told me how much they like dogs!

The situation in the UK is not very good. Since the change in the law many wolfdogs and cross breeds of wolfdogs have been sold and now a lot of them are for re-homing. People found that they do not suit their 'life style'. Owning one of these dogs means you have to change your life to suit your dog!

Have a good new year 2010.

Well one of my points, was exactly that I live on the outside of a small city and there are very few people who live around my place and there is a nice big forest very close. So a dog that dont like many people around should be happy with the surroundings of the place where I live.

I wish you all a fantastic, successfull new year!

Remember that the SW learns everything in the first 4 months of life. This is the time to socialise him with everybody you know; adults, children and animals. Both mine were horrible pups but matured well!

I have at last got my little wolfie to Norway today. Everything went well with the travel (with the exception of my father having to travel with the pup since I couldnt lend a car in Germany because you have to be 25 to do it), and the customs on Gardermoen where very kind since they didnt make any "drama" when they found out that there is nothing about the Echinococcus worm pill written in the passport. Instead of making any drama or not letting the dog in they called the borderzone veterinary who gave the pup the required pill after he told me that it will for sure not harm the pup to get the pill twice (it have got it already in Germany when it was 5 weeks old according to the breeder). Either way any myths about "bad, evil" customs got busted...

As for the little wolfie herself (yes I got a female instead of a male since the breeder chose the best pup she could choose for me and then it was a female called Miata (Miata Wakanda Tachunga)) it is absolutely awesome, it wasnt afraid at the airport (and there was really many people there) and it didnt looked scared, instead it was sniffing around on things very curious of the new enviroment then the car and finally my home where it will be living. So its indeed a good tempered pup as the breeder said

Ahh and it looks totally awesome too, exactly like a wolfcub....people did actually think its a little wolf until I told them its a Saarloos (when waiting on the veterinary on the airport). And actually NO ONE not even a single person told me anything bad or wanted to harm the pup.....so I have been lucky and missed the whole army of "wolfhaters" that I was warned about, but instead met very many "wolf likers/passionates" and I hope it shall continue that way in Skien where I live.

I shall keep you informed about the success (I hope it will be and I will do everything possible to make it be) story of me and the Saarloos. And post some pictures soon in the picture section of the forum.

Have a nice week everyone!

Is it true that csw are still not allowed in norway? Today I telephoned with people who will move from germany to norway. They have a female csw and will probably get a male csw. They told me that they talked to the norway ambassy and they told them that csw are allowed in norway.

Is there some knowledge which is actual?

Thanks

Christian

PS: It is another thing to import a puppy than an adult csw who looks for people who do not really know easy like a wolf.
