@Mirka,

I agree with you when you are talking about visitors in your house with bad intentions!

But in training situations your dogs are (for me!) also great!
When a decoy tries to hit with a stick, they are like guarding dogs. But after this training they are very firendly again even to the decoy.
(Jorn did ask me to write this, just because he did like it very much how your dogs did behave to him during the whole training!)

@Tuky
1-Distrust in the strangers. No my dogs don't distrust strangers. But some of them they ignore (or they react reserved). But in most cases they like strangers and are very friendly to them, special to children. (For me its a special signal when they ignore sometimes visistors in our house. Because in of all these cases till now, later on we did discover there was something wrong with these people! )
With older people or "special" children, (with mental of physical problems) they are very carefull in greeting them.

2-Territoriality. Yes my dogs have a strong feeling about what is of their own pack against other dogs who are visiting us. But we can have visitors with dogs

3-hierarchic Structure. See the comment of Mirka

5-Instinct of hunt(fighter). Also my dogs have (like most of the Csw) a strong hunting instinct. But since they were puppy's , they are not allowed to hunt! But I don't understand your comment "fighter".

6-Resistance. I don't understand what you want to know

7-Sociableness. My dogs are very sociable in normal human community. They are going for example with us on hollidays by boat, car, train to several city's and places.
But when you means in a human way of thinking "sociable to all other dogs" no!
When they are on leash it is not any problem. But out of leash they don't always like other dogs of the same sexe (and they behave dominant)
