I believe a lot of the dogs have been sold with the understanding that nothing out of the dog is to be sold back to North America.. however in places where contracts are not enforcable...the agreement is only as good as the word of the person making it. Even if someone does stick to their word, once they breed the dog out, or sell offspring out of it to another show person in their own area, what binds that next person into honoring the agreement between the N/A breeder and the original buyer of the dog..? I have seen lots of very obvious lapses or complete lack of integrity.
A persons word should be golden. Obviously this isn't happening.
Obviously $$$$ is the motivator..and that's just sad. Now will this eventually stop N/A breeders from sending their dogs overseas? I don't know.. I guess that depends on how much the N/A breeder cares about their line, and where it ends up. If it does stop it.....it's very sad that a few have ruined tremendous opportunity for many to improve their dogs.

Jokes aside, I believe that bad frons are a big issue here... But as someone of you said - there are poor (and good) representatives of the breed everywhere in the world. Likewise I can't understand why it's "in" to show the dog by hanging it by the leach and almost twisting it's tail off..
I have wondered, though, how it can possibly be that so many dogs from top breeders in NA have ended up in east Europe, since I know that the best breeders in NA are very careful with their dogs... |
