Yes, we went to Czech and came back last month. However, we apparently are going back in July (husband's work, and he visits his family). I might look again if I have time and they are not all over the country. The main roads in Czech are good, but the secondary roads are crappy. It can take hours to get anywhere, and the country isn't even that big. It reminds me of Eastern Germany after reunification, only the Czechs don't have as much money as the Germans to fix everything. We just drove through parts of east Germany that we have driven through ten or twenty years ago,and the change was remarkable.
Anyway, change of plans! In a year from now, my husband will go back to Germany to work for one year. He is German but hasn't lived there in almost twenty years ( I lived there with him in the 1990s). So I think we should hold off on a new puppy. Next year our dog will be ten, and I don't really want to fly her back over at that age, so I might ask my parents to take care of her while we are gone. While we are in Germany, I will probably look for another puppy or young dog to bring home.
Nearly every town in Germany has a small breeder, they just don't advertise much, and the older people often don't speak English. Just me personally, but I don't like the big name kennels, I much prefer the small breeders. The breeders we know we got two dogs from, and our dog we have now, we got when she was 18 months old. They were keeping her for breeding, but they didn't like her hip score was A2 and not A1. They said they just didn't want to breed anything less than A1, both for the health of the dogs and as a small breeder, it is harder for them to sell puppies unless both parents are A1. So we got a great dog instead.
Sorry so long.
