Russian tortoise Breeder

[Ulises]

Whats good everyone I'm looking to buy a Russian tortoise,I live in Canada and I haven't had any luck looking for breeders or places that carry these tortoises in my city (Toronto) could someone please point me to a website or a person who breeds them preferably in Canada or in the US ?
I've read so much conflicting reports and I'm hoping someone could shed some light,Could I buy a tortoise from the US? Is it permitted to buy reptiles from the US? Your help would be greatly appreciated thank you

I just read a post from a Canadian who purchased a tortoise from a shop here in the states and was told that the only tortoises allowed in Canada are tortoises that have been born there.

Sorry, I don't know any Canadian Russian breeders, but if you contact one of the breeders here in the states, they might be able to refer you.

You can go to this reptile expo, I went to the one in Montreal and there was a couple of breeders. The store Pet Credit Pet Center was there too, they had a lot of tortoises to sell. They are located in Missisauga. Their phone number is 905-274-8018. Maybe you can call them to see if they have Russian tortoises at the moment.
Here is the link of the reptile Expo I am talking to you about.
