But I understand what you are meaning. It worries me also that sometimes CsW’s get excellent results in shows while they behave like a shy Saarloos in the showring. In east Europe I did also see shy CsW’s with tail under the belly, but they do not get excellent results in shows....

Though I absolutely agree with all of you, I would like to remark just one thing, I know several wolfsdogs that are far away from being shy but have their tails down in the showring (though not up to their nose) because they just don´t like the situation and show discomfort but not fear with that behaviour. Wolfdogs have a much more impressive bodylanguage than other breeds and I made the experience that some of them seem to show fear when they just don´t like the situation. In my experience there are dogs that love shows and dogs that hate them, the last I can understand very well because after a whole day on a big dogshow I am pretty fed up with all the crowds and noise and would without any doubt carry my tail down if I had one
