Hi Ligerwolve,
I'm really curious.What is a Czech Sheperd ?
And in brackets you called her a wolfdog.So what is she now,a CWD or GSD ?
The only Czech sheperd dog I know is the so called Chodsky Pes breed (not recognized by FCI), a typical old continental herding and guarding type of dog.
In behaviour and exteriour absolutely different to the British type of herding dog.The avarage size is 50 cm which is about 19,5 inches.
Do you have one of those dogs ?
They make brilliant working dogs, such as sniffing and avalanche rescue dogs
Another thing is,wolves need aggression to survive (territoral,sexual and food motivated aggression),this is not bad and has nothing to do with stubborness at all.
All of our domesticated dogs inherited this behaviour from their wild ancestors. Even a Toy Poodle !
As a behaviourist I see these problem cases .In most cases it has nothing to do with the breed,but with certain people keeping the wrong breed and treating them like a human and not like a dog,which is not fair to the dog.
Sooner or later rank order problems will arise.
So we have to be very careful in generalizing a certain behaviour or even certain dog breeds.
