From your reply it's clear that maybe for people the second is preferrable.

For me is not only the exterior important
A stable dog with a good and strong character is for me also very importent! (unfortunaly there are also frightened and scary CsW's in some country's)

When I am looking for stud dogs, yes I first look for exterior of a male that fits with my female
And for a CsW is for me important: wolfish/powerfull/elegant/strong but light moving

When I have made a first selection I look to HD results, bonitation (if they have) and wright's coefficient

I also visit several males (long time before a female is in heat )to get an impression how they are and what their character is.

So only the height of a stud dog is less important for me
