I absolutely agree with Dharkwolf and would even go further. We see a lot of German Shepherds and Mallinois in our dog shool and looking at daily life situations Czechoslowakian Wolfdogs are a lot more pedictable than those two breeds because they are much more able to decide independently. We see a lot of dogs of those breeds that are not reliable with small running children because they are extremly reactive on prey-situations. Our wolfdogs are always extremly reliable with small children because they treat them as a puppy even if they run and screem and even fall down.
If it comes to protection I can (and have) taken all of our dogs to my daily work in the office, they will ly down and wait, no matter who is coming. Everybody can come to our place and house - if we are at home and great them- they won´t attack. If we are not at home or are attacked ourselfs they will protect, in a very reliable way, and they stop attacking as soon as the threatening of us stops or when we tell them to stop. None of our dogs has ever done any defence training.
For me, and we have a lot of experience with very different breeds, wolfdogs are one of the most reliable ones as long as they have been brought up and been socialised properly.
