Hi, just reading through the posts, interesting, there are lots of shy CWD i have seen lots, but maybe you should look who is on the other end of the lead,,,I believe the dog can take from the charicter of its owner, lots of people do keep there dogs as pets, lots show there dogs, and it is true very few have the time for hard training, the CWD is a very versatile dog and we see him in all differnet homes and he adapts to nearly every knid of life style and learns to fit in, but i would never under estimate the working capabilities of the CWD, i keep my dogs in large kennels , they have very large excercise areas, they are very well socilised as pups and are friendly dogs and greet everyone, i work my dogs on sleve and also full bite suit, i have a Malinois as well who is trained, i have people who come to work there dogs at my farm, they have Malinois, Gsd, Rottweiler, i compare these to my CWD, my CWD can get to any target as quick as Malinois but quicker than GSD or Rotty, my Cwd can hit as hard as Rotty but harder than Mal or Gsd, my CWD will have more stamina than all these dogs for working day, the CWD is a great working dog and a pleasure to work with, i have had the police dog trainers see my dogs work and they inquire for a puppy from me, i was very proud of my dogs and that the police asked for a CWD for training. biggest problem with CWD is the new owners not prepared for the breed. to train the CWD for show ring i think you have to partly change with his charater, to me this is not correct, maybe you see how i keep my dogs is not correct, my dogs greet me as they did when they where pups they grab my hand or sleve and want a play, but you cant have show dog acting like this, so people train the dog not to do this,, Why? it is the dogs way of saying hello, to me it is part of the bond your dog has made with you,, i admit my CWD play very rough with me but it is how i like my dogs and i dont wish to change this part of there charater, but they are a very good working dog and should remain so. pacino
