I agree - but it would have to something readily available and fairly simple so as not to put people off

That breeders have their dog/bitches as a minimum hip scored and dm tested.

That all puppies are dna profiled. I'm also wondering if puppies should have some kind of id e.g microchip before they go to their new homes.

That bitches are a minimum of 2 years old before their first litter. I'm tempted to say the same for studs to...thoughts anyone?

Again agreed - for the Studs also - particularly important in a late maturing breed.

That no bitch will be used for breeding after their 7th birthday.

That no breeder will use their dog/bitch to create mixes.

Then of course there's the obvious stuff like providing food, water, shelter, exercise, vet care and taking back any of the dogs/pups they've bred at anytime, for any reason, if the owner can't/will no longer keep them.

Has that yahoo/fb group been created yet?

Just a wee thought...

If you are having to start all this over with the KC, how about going the same way as the US and calling the breed Czechoslovakian Vlcak to distance yourselves from the 'wolf', 'wolfdog' and 'wolf look-alikes' connotations?

Yes, I was thinking about same thing. This subject has been brought up somewhere else in this forum. Someone said that breed name must be the same as english breed name given when breed was registered with FCI. But I am not sure, I will have look inyo registration forms once I'll get back to home. You want "czechoslovakian Vlcak " or "ceskoslovensky Vlcak"?

I've just has a wee look at some of the paperwork we have for Shadow and it seems the FCI name is Ceskoslovensky Vlcak. That is how it is listed on her pedigree, the pups' pedigrees and her, newly arrived - 10 mins ago - CIE Title Certificate (sorry to boast, but I'm a proud mummy at the moment

)

It would seem it is us native English speakers who must have changed the name to something easier for us at some point in the past

Prefer vlcak a lot more than wolfdog. I found out it is quite common whenever I say "wolfdog" people get a bit scared

"wolfdog" appeals also more to people who would like to have wolfdog not for right reasons.
