The reason that these breeds, Ovcharkas I mean, are not increasing in numbers is because we only have one SRO breeder, a very responsible one. Many people do not want to import, too much hassle, preferable they want to buy one that is bred next doors. But what about the pedigreeless ones, right now there is trend that puppymillers/brokers buy complete CO litters in former USSR countries for little money and sell them in Belgium and the Netherlands as cudly bears, who can resist...... The number of COs is much higher then what is registered with our Kennelclub. Most people do not have a clue what they purchased untill it is too late. The Anatolian/Kangal is a true runner at this moment, some of these dogs switch owners each month. This breed is hardly advertised in our country, but brought back from holidays in Turkey.
