I don't want a csv to use for breeding, I simply want a pet...that I've no doubt will teach me a lot.

Oh yes!:lol: :banghead:daysmile:love:love:love

:kiss_2:Rose:bigok Faith is slowly being restored xx

Hang on guys....wasn't meant as 'people on this thread' want to breed :roll:

But let's face it it is true,pixie has mentioned breeding,as has orkwolf and a lot of novice owners I have spoken to,and not forgetting any dog bought from 'mr winder' is encouraged to breed from...and some of these dogs contain cw....that's all I was saying

I would only breed Pixie if she passed all the health checks, and it was to promote the breed here, otherwise i am not interested in breeding her and never have been. She was bought as a pet pure and simple, and that is the way she will stay, I have no intention of importing or buying any other CSV for breeding although i am tempted to get another as a pet lol because she is so lovely. I hope that clears up my breeding ambitions just in case I am an Owner not a breeder

thats still breeding ;-) and isnt your dogs sire a cw dog?

anyway its not meant as a 'slur' im just stating facts...a fact you posted on this forum before :)

Yes her dad is a CW dog, and i dont really have any intention to breed just stating the conditions that would make me do it, and I did'nt take it as a slur mainly because it never came across that way lol

I know, was just taking the oppertunity to make my position/intentions clear.

Why do we share our lives with dogs?!
That special sort of companionship that you don't have with people..that special bond ...thats what i'm looking with my csv......
...and seems it is that special something that csv owners are discribing when they say csv's are 'different' than other breeds.
I hope that is what motivates others....not the opportunity to breed

I do hope too. But supply and demand are dictating
other motives. And whenever money is involved, I am not so trusty any more..

i dont want to feel that way...but i do :(

Done, but I left here the posts talking about the mixes and old breeders too, because I think it could be a problem to the recognition of the breed at the british kennel club.
If you find better split it in one different topic (one only about the mixes and other problems related) please let me know.

I have no interest in breeding at all.

Although I own a Mix and would actually like a Saarloos - I like the CsV as a breed and would be interested in helping to get recognition in the hope that one day the Saarloos might do the same..

just a point i am 53years old and had dogs of various breeds over the years mainly GSD's i have only bred once when my border terriers mated by mistake and that now cant happen again (poor boy) hardly a novice owner

does anyone know when the next meet is in europe will try to get there and does anyone in Britain want to meet up to form a club it does not need to be straight away but we need to get a date organised

This is ,indeed, all that motivates me and I look forward to the day when I have a CsW pup of my own and may even be able to take to shows in the future:p

Yes I'm more than happy to meet up, but no, I don't know when the next Euro meeting is.

I think info about most of meetings you can find here, in this site.
Here is event calendar:

may be not very helpful as just realised names of events are written mostly in languages different than english.

Thanks

In the beginning of our club, we created a "Code of Ethics" and also a set of club bylaws. These can be used to oust people from the club (they were both finalized about a month ago, so we haven't had to enforce them yet). Although we haven't had the problem of mix-breeding here (well, maybe some Tamasken "variation" people, but they have no interest in our club or breed), we have had some other issues...but everyone is given a clean slate at this point, since there were no legally binding club documents prior to ours for the breed. If anyone messes up now, and we are aware of it, they will have their membership terminated...though unfortunately, this has no effect on their relationship with AKC.

At our core we have a board of 5 members who make decisions on voting people out, and takes on judicial duty if people violate the code of ethics or bylaws. We also have different types of membership - full voting rights are only given to adult CSV owners residing in the US, but non-owners as well as owners/non-owners can have non-voting membership and be fully involved with club activities. We plan to have a health testing scheme as part of our code of ethics, as well as a mandate on no cross-breeding. Maybe it is worth it for your club to look to other clubs (as we did!) - both CSV clubs in other countries, as well as "successful" (in terms of ethics and health) parent breed clubs within the UK. I would think the KC might be of some use also once they realize that there are serious people who are in things for the right reasons.

Here are links to our club documents, if they might be of some help:
