You are right on this one, Michael. I too saw very shy dogs in CR, or in Slovakia, same as dogs from France, Netherlands or Belgium.

The problem is in people. Not in the breeding, but in the breeders (not socialising pups at all) and then of course in the owners (not socialising again).

Often the breeder does not say truth about socialising - needs of the pup, in the hope to sell pups faster, easier etc. Some breeders do not help the owners of their pups, when they have problems.. Some do tell them it is normal, if the wolfdog is shy..

Some owners on the contrary, do not listen to their breeders. They refuse the advices, they think they know better. Or they get the dog for its beauty, but they don´t respect its needs and when the dog becomes shy.. they say that´s the wolf in it, see?

It is all about people. And it happens in all countries. I only must say, that I still saw larger amount of self-confident dogs in CR and SR, than in other countries.
