Next week I'm going to see this lawyer. By that we will have a decision of
the court not only of Mr. Werners personal vendetta, but every aspect of
the subject of the legality of importing and keeping of our dogs, the
genetic aspect and the enviromental threat these dogs might cause. Such a
trial should lead to some interresting conclusions, including the
credibility of Mr. Werner.

I think that is WONDERFUL news! Out here we also have people that pretend to
know something that they know nothing about .. but unfortunately, they are
allowed to publicly slander anything they want to (including your dogs) and
nobody can do anything ;(
One such person we know as Parker Adams, he lives in Pennsylvania USA .. and
he claims to know most of you and says he has traveled there many times and
seem how terrible the temperaments are on these dogs. He has even been
consulted on wolf and wolfdog behavior for a book that is being written in
Canada. I have been thrilled to be here and see for myself (from people that
own them) what wonderful companions they can be

I am going to copy for your records a little bit from this persons notes to
me;

I have many more letters .. but the one below was the first he sent me after
I joined your list to learn more about your wonderful breed.

I am also someone
who believes based on that 25 years experience dealing with wolfdogs and
observing numerous shilohs in person and having seen pictures of many of the
Baker Line Dogs and Samson Woo that there is substantive wolfdog blood in
the shiloh. Obvously I cannot prove it but I highly suspect it. To that
end I certainly hope that you are not thinking about using a Vlciak as NB
for the shiloh. If you go down that path then you will totally F_ _ _ _ Up
this breed in an even worse direction than it is heading right now. I have
been to Slovakia where the best Vlciaks come from and I can tell you that
they are a handfull and still act like very high content American wolfdogs.
I recently read a study that suggests that regardless of the breeding that
once the wolf has been crossed with the dog that approximately 38% of the
behavioral genetics remains. Throw that into the Shilohs mix then you will
really be playing Russian Roulette. If you think you have behavioral
problems with your dogs now you ain't seen nothing yet. There were three
Vlciaks in the US. One died of brain cancer. The owner of one of the other
two dogs is having problems with local dog control and Wildlife officials in
his state because of the "wolf" in the dog even though the breed is FCI
recognized. I warned him about that. The world is small so I hope you
don't do the wrong thing. The CSV world is even smaller and I hear about
almost all of the American inquiries so I will know if you acquire one. I
have other wolf friends who were interested in the Vlciak until I had the
opportunity to see several of them and told them what I thought. I am
merely passing along my thoughts to you.

Is this person someone that all of you know? He has mentioned Margo and Per
Olav among others in his notes to me.

BTW the F____ word is not a nice one here in America ;(
