Again these are dogs that are doing sports, if I would look for a good dog for film-work I would look for a dog with this charakter, it would be easier to handle for this kind of work (a problem would often be the not so wolfish look in many of those dogs) but if I would look for a new trailer for non-sport work I would rather look for a different kind of dog. Cause I can teach every CSW enough obedience but it is much more difficult to get a Mallinois-kind of dog to make decisions against the thought will of the owner during work as a trailer has to make.
And I have never met a wolfdog that couldn´t work at all and had a normal socialisation but very many owners that wanted some kind of housewolf and got one due to their handling. And very many owners of every kind of breed that had the opinion that their poor results on their dog was due to it´s breed, in about 99% it was due to their handling.
