No breeder had asked me a fee to confirm the reservation, at start I sent the money for the breeder before travel for pick up the pup, soon I discovered that was easiest to travel with the money and pay direct to the breeder when I picked up the pup than send it via bank and pay several taxes for it.

I received an email from one of the breeder who posted on this thread, thank you so much.

Have you ever thought about "why would a breeder be so willing to send a pup to another continent?", Czechoslovakian wolfdogs aren't Golden Retrievers or Rottweilers, where you have a lot of bloodlines and animals to use and select, it's a new breed with a very small genetic pool and even less good stud animals.
A good breeder will select the breed for improve it, futurely the breeder will want to use the dog that he breed at breeding, so its common good breeders with good and interesting litters not accept easily to send a dog for far away, as it probably will be a "lost dog" for breeding for them.
Looking at these points you can see that you will only get a good dog if a good breeder already trust you enough for it.
Also, as you live in USA, every good male or good female can be very interesting for the future of the breed in your country as it can be a stud, so the best thing you can do is talk with the North American Breeders and let them help you pointing wich announced litters would be interesting for import, they can help you to chose the litter as, in extreme cases, they can even help you to get in contact with the breeder.
Enter in contact with them, enjoy the opportunity of already have breeders and CzW's in your country to know the breed personaly, see if it's realy what you want for be your friend to the next 15 years and also if you're experienced and prepared enough for have one.
