Introducing The Czechoslovakian Wolfdog {Vlcak} Breed Club of Great Britain

2 observations...

1. At least in America, it is illegal to use the Copyrighted materials of another club's website without permission

I would certainly hope the creators of a breed club would have the knowledge, experience, intelligence and ambition to use their own words to describe their breed, and dog breeding in general for their fellow countrymen...or at least ask permission to use the words of another, and give credit to the people who did take the time to create materials...

It seems I have read some of the other materials on your page verbatim as well...

2. Other than joining our Facebook page (as a name of your club, not a person) and promoting your forum without asking, at least I (the president for the The Czechoslovakian Vlcak Club of America) have no clue who anyone in your club is, or what they stand for, or what they have done in their past...so would not and do not give permission to use our club's materials, as we hope only to align our club with breeders and owners who have a past history of embodying the same ethics as we do. Generally most official clubs list their officers, contacts, etc. - who are you guys? By name, by kennel, by dogs?
