I think the majority of people who continuously buy in the UK would have no problem buying dogs with no strings attached here. The *strings* are mainly for first timers. I am sure there are those who sell dogs to long time breeders with strings, but doubt there are many. In my opinion the reason people buy in the UK is because you breed 5-8 times more puppies than we do on a yearly basis. If we consider 10% to be of really top quality, and we produce 2,000-3,000 puppies a year and the UK produces 15,000 or more a year--there are A LOT more top quality puppies available in the UK! So we here in the U.S. have a much better chance of getting a *good* one in the UK than here. In addition since there are SO few good ones in the U.S. the breeders tend to keep them for themselves--they are not just not available for sale.
