CzW are not agressive at all, but utterly smart dogs, which will act and even arrive to an attack if they have clear reasons to do it.

You are so right! Apart from the fact that, as far as I know, their lack of interest in attacking without a good reason has always been a problem in training, are there several things mixed up that shouldn´t be.
Problems with aggression, no matter of trained or not trained dog occure in the major amount of cases from dog handlers not being in charge of their leading position. The leader of the pack decides who is to be attacked and who isn´t, being aware of this fact it is very easy to prevent problems. A dog handler that will stay calm and in charge and that gives clear rules will have an easy to handle dog, it is as simple as that.
If somebody is not able to clearly lead a dog and fulfill this task, he should be very aware of this lack of skills and get himself a dog that is not that much challenging looking at this point, like for example an Irish Wolfhound or a typical Golden Retriever. This doesn´t mean the other dogs are aggressiv, it means, that some breeds have a lack of demanding skills at that point that is untypical for most canines and that also makes them not very suitable for a lot of tasks for working dogs.
Also a breed that prefers flight reaction against strangers will be easier in this one point (and only for the owner, because the dog lives in stress!) but might also be a problem adult in family, because the aggression towards family members is something totally different to aggression towards strangers.
Apart from the fact that an owner lacking those skills is quite likely to also get problems in the family with a dog that thinks it is necessary to take the leading position that in it´s eyes needs a new occupation. As a pack without a good leader is at high risk in the eyes of a canine.
And last but not least are some parts of police dog training totally different from the normal dog training due to the fact that a normally trained dog would put a risk on itself and on the policemen coming behind it. This dogs are trained in a totally different way. These dogs normally aren´t GSD by the way and will never be CSW but in almost all cases in Europe Mallinois. And yes these dogs are very dangerous but because of their training not because of just being aggressiv.
