So I doubt the validity of what she says now...

Indeed, though I believe the someone in question stated they gathered all the paper work from the other people, who they then stated were never actually interested in getting the breed recognised in the first place.

Jmo, but I believe they just didn't want to work with each other. It would mean they'd have to put aside their differences and work for the betterment of the csv breed, rather than for the betterment of themselves and their pet projects.

I'm of the opinion that the future of the csv in the uk, lies not with those currently breeding (unless they change their ways) but with the owners of the pure csvs they've produced and with future owners/importers providing they've the right attitude. I'd go as far as saying, that those currently breeding have lost their right to any future involvement with the development of the breed here. Unless of course, as I said earlier, they change their ways and are able to prove it.

Possibly the saying 'Clutching at Straws' is applicable in this case.

Possibly, or they've just got their wires crossed.

Yep, that's it exactly.

It's all a matter meeting formal requirements, and since importing pups with good pedigrees from different and interesting lines will be easier soon, they may have been fulfilled sooner than you think.

Why don't you ask a couple of European breeders how many enquieries about selling a pure bred CSV pup to the UK they have recenty had....

I hope so, wonder which group they'd be put in. In other countries they seem to end up with all the herding breeds, which they aren't, I'd think working or utility would be a better choice for them.
