Nice idea, but why on FB? Maybe here it is possible to name at least the dogs, then the breeding plan could be made by experienced CsW breeders together?

I fully agree Vaiva, but maybe FB is less daunting at first to those in the UK (I have had many comments about anti-UK feelings on here - I personally don't see it, the comments are directed at individuals who, imo, deserve it not at UK owners). Once they have made contact via FB, they can be directed onto here. Another issue UK owners have is the way the new database describes their dogs as ''(possibly) a wolfdog from a non-FCI kennel'' - I'm sure there is a more diplomatic way to put it After all, it isn't their fault that the KC doesn't recognise the breed...

We all need to help the core of true CsV lovers to thrive in the UK - that way the existing 'breeders' with bad practices will be shamed and (hopefully) find themselves out of business.

I don't think it is insulting. It just says what it is, dog not registered with FCI. Which is true. I am sure that most of those dogs are pure CSV, but some are not. When they get registered with KC they will be allowed for breeding. How to separate them?

I agree that differentiation is needed, but not sure that the addition of ''(possibly) a wolfdog'' is entirely necessary at this stage - it would be enough to say that the dog comes from a non-FCI kennel and should not be used for breeding. It doesn't affect me directly, I can just see why some people are a little upset.

Interestingly, a dog owned by one of these 'breeders' (who doesn't even list all his puppies on here) is classed as suitable for breeding yet has NO health data at all, yet dogs who have all the necessary results are still listed as NOT suitable as ADMIN has not updated the results yet. Mixed messages?

i disagree ,it IS insulting.... my dog is an unregistered csv not a 'possible csv' there is a big difference imo

In such a case I did wrongly understood it as "possibly CSV from not-FCI registred kennel" still CSV but from not FCI registred kennel
