I did own a crying wolfdog as a replaced dog looking for a new home for a long time..
He was not easy to handle because of his independent and real strong pack behavior.
But he was NOT SHY at all and he did lke to WORK in every way you can only imagine as an owner
For him it was fun to do things with his owner and he did like everything NEW and for him Interested work as long as he could cooperate together

So he was used in all kind of art projects (one of my personal goals)
And besides this I don't like to blame any breeder for "behavior" of the offspring of their dogs!
Because behavior of a dog always depents of a lot of things, like for example the personal behavior and raising of the owner
