Hi i looked into this breed as well as the czech wolfdog they do seem to be very rare but i have read into them and it does say that they do not make great pets and its like training a cat!! Also before you look into buying abroad you may need to check the state your in legislation however there are wolfdog and hybrid breeders in texas not sure of the link but if you google dog breeds there is one site that lists breeders. hope this helps.

me again i looked on pets4you.com and they give you wolf dog breeders one being wolfzone1.com they arent saarloos but very beautiful might be worth checking out good luck.

Ok, first off welcome to PT!
Secondly, have you done any sort of research on this breed??? You really need to do extensive research on any breed of dog you are wanting to get- there is no 'universal dog' that works for anyone and everyone.

As for finding a breeder, you need to ask them questions to make sure they are reputable. Questions such as 'How often do you breed?'; 'How many litters do you have in a year?' (Reputable breeders will only have 1-2 litters per year, IF that). Also, 'What kind of health testing(s) do you do for the sire and dam'?

Feel free to ask anyone here questions, there are a lot of knowledgeable members here on PT!
