[Girlie]

How much would it cost a prospective buyer of a very good bloodline of wolfdog puppy for:

pick up at breeder's kennel?
via shipping OUTSIDE the country of origin?

When we were looking I think my wife did speak to a breeder or two in the Czech Republic and they quoted her $2500-$4000 (US $).

But - are you looking for a vlcak, lupo, or a saarloos?

Edit: shipping a dog is usually anywhere form $200 and up, depending on the airline and the distance. You also need to consider vaccinations, rabies, and any needed quarantine (depending on the originating country and the destination country) which can add a couple to several hundred dollars onto the cost.

I see you are from US. So shipping for example from Czech republic to USA is + - 600Euro.

Hanka, small question: you would really ship one of your puppies to USA if they gave you an amount of money high enough?

Hello Massimo. When somebody contact me about puppy, I in all cases write with this person much emails. About him, about breed, about everything. If we both are sure it can be good owner, I sell puppy. Like every breeder.
Not all people can travel over ocean for puppy. Not all people are so rich, but they want puppy. What they can do?
I have not bad opinions wit selling of puppy over sea. I am in contact with all my american pups. They are happy family dogs and I have info, fotos about them. I had only one "misunderstanding", when boy (or young man) bought puppy and he ended to inform me about puppy. But now I am in contact with his mother and everything continue well.
More often is for me bigger problem to contact my "czech owners".
Everybody can have different meaning about it. But my meaning is: why not.
It is not question of money like you write: "if somebody gives you enough of money".

There are other reasons to quote high prices, it helps weed out the people looking for "a dog" as opposed to someone looking for that specific breed for specific reasons and has a gameplan for the dog working, showing etc..).

Hi,

I personally think high price policy doesn't help selecting "good" owners from "bad" owners.
Believe me, I know people who would pay such a price for a certain dog just to keep that animal in a kennel using it as a breeding machine.
Do you mind naming the breeder asking for such a price, I'm really curious.
To me it's a complete rip off.

Or they incrust little shiny diamonds on every teeth of a pup
I fully agree that a person, ready to pay a very high price can still not be the right person for a wolfdog. There are allways people not only making "farm animals" out of dogs, but also the ones, who simply feel proud to say "I paid THIS much for a dog"

Sorry, what i meant in shipping is not LITERALLY by SHIP. "transporting" (of course via airlines). Got my GSDs from Czech Republik, may MALINOIS from Belgium shipping via AIR.

To all who answered my post, thanks you so much.

Wow, I hope all people "speak" here about shipping by plane, of course!!!!

hi, i have imported and exported dogs to and fro from uk and Usa for many years, it is not hard as long as you make sure you get everything correct and in plenty of time, you must find out if you need importation paperwork and that all is checked before flight,diffferent states have different rules and laws so check up with proper authorities, last thing you want is for your pup to be held up at airport because one small detail has been overlooked, or a mistake has been made in paperwork, pups from uk can travel to Usa at 12 weeeks old and do not require quarentine of any period, when i am exporting a pup i have pup in the house and train it to living in a crate, this reduces stress as the pup is used to the crate, it will obviously suffer some stress but i am sure it helps, also there are different types of sky kennels, i use the ones with bars not mesh, i do this because cws puppies love to chew and mouth things, i have over the years experienced young pups biteing at mesh and getting the large cannines caught in the mesh with there mouths wide open, i do not use vet bed or any sort of bedding incase the pup will chew on it and choke, i use only thick layers of news paper. if you travel to uk to pick up the pup and book it on flight as access bagage the flight is cheaper, access bagage sounds terrible but it is worth it, you can also make arrangments that the pup is checked during the flight by one of the flight staff. any dogs i have imported have been ok, they are stressed but soon get over it, normally next day they are running about carefree, many have been playing in my home only hours after the flight, i do not have any personal experiences of importing dogs older that 12 weeks so i could not say if it is less stressful for older dog to travel by plane. many people are against long flights for animals but i think if you want a Czechoslovakian wolfdog then you have a right to enjoy this wonderful breed as much as the next person, i hope some of this is of help to you, best regards paul

I not know shipping because I will go for puppy but i select 4 for me best kennels in France, Germany, Slovakia and Poland. Puppies I like most was only 800EUR and maximum offered to me was 1200EUR.
I was checking good character and health hips. And only choose most wolfish kennels.
