Nice to read your saarloos isn't shy and that neither is his offspring. The picture that has been painted of the saarloos breed over here is that they're almost all shy and or nervous of unfamiliar people and environments. But then I suspect that is because the dogs that were imported over here (if they are indeed pure saarloos), appeared to be under handled and poorly socialised.

Infact, the original importer described them as all being at various stages of feral. One escaped and gave birth to a pup in a den out in the woods and another was shot because of agression. The escaped one and her pup were recaptured, I've no idea how the pup is doing but from what I last heard, the mother was settled in her home. She was rehomed from the original breeder/owner a couple of years ago now.

Yes I was aware that there wasn't always the same level of transparency with regards to health issues as there is today. The past can't be changed but the future can.
