Hey Jenni - you have topped even Vaiva´s posting with yours !!
Especially these parts are very true and important for my opinion:

Falcifying pedigrees in a breed like this is especially dangerous. There are so many possible bad effects on it, starting from the fact that nobody nolonger has any control over the hereditary traits, -most importantly the health & character. -If you do not know who you are truly breeding with, you cannot breed. You only make puppies. You don't know what to expect from the offspring, and everyone can start wiping their ass with the pedigree papers."
Exactly ! That´s also the problem with the "breeding" of American wolfdogs - for they are not really
breeded but only
produced.

"
All the desired traits we see in working canines these days are originally wolf behaviour allright, but strongly modified by human breeding selection, and at this point allready far away from wolf."
Yeah - this is what all
real experts say too !
Ok, also to the other parts of this posting I agree completely - this time really 100 % indeed... And I could´nt have told it in better words!
So Jenni - If you congratulated me for the show- result of my dog ....
I much more want to congratulate you here for this posting !
Best regards , Uli alias Silvester
