You are right, most although not all in Europe will sell to anyone, no contract as contracts are illegal there.
However if you are looking for something for the show rings as Europe does not show the same as we do nor do they look for the same in a show dog as we do therefore do not select their breeding stock same as we do in Canada and the US, you will be disappointed. They do not have the structure or temperment for the most part. They usually are much bigger as well compared to here. Of course there are exceptions especially those breeders that are working with North American breeders which is where many are trying to get breeding stock from. Many show breeders won't sell over there anymore unless they know the European breeder very well once it was discovered contracts are nonbinding in Europe.
Many very good lines got away from good breeders over here because of that issue.
