[Quote Ursula]Because anyone can see that those dogs behave that way mostly due to their experients and the way they have been handled. [/Quote Ursula]

Hm - this is an assumtion, but unfortunately it's not simply socialisation (missing or not) - we've (CwD and foreseeing breeders) walked a long road to keep anxiety in line... 
Some generations ago behavior as it is shown in the film was one common possible trait among others; fear, tendency to flight, stupor from fear, and paniking when being confronted with loudly, noisy, indifferent situations. THIS has been a kind of disstress to the dogs which torchures without visible force.
There is really no fun in presenting a "scared to death" dog in puplic - I know what I'm talking about when it comes to deprived or scared dogs...

Todays breeding makes all efforts to  "get" our CwD closer to the standard, which expects fearless and bolt behavior... with many successfull results - "tough" dogs, mentally clear, more workable due to charakter traits like bravness.

Now there are some people who obviously don't care about standard of CwD breed - and worse, not even about their own dogs when they suffer from stress-stupor just because they want to present them in puplic.

It is only because they want "another kind of wolfdog", more wolf-like, more wolf-look-alike... therefore, they do not hesitate to send a whole breed back to Square 1... to me this is not only a slap in the face of all breeders whos archievement it is, that nowadays CwD are suitable even for living in urban regions and an attractive working breed,  but an assault to the well-being of their dogs and their future puppies, future owners...

If the statement here is correct - and as far as I have heard, it has been confirmed by those "new, proud producers" - that these dogs are F3 then they cannot be CwD -- but on the other hand those producers claim to have pure CwD Pedigrees... you see, there's some discrepancy...

If someone prefers shy or fearfull dogs, it would be easier to buy a SwD or other kind of WD instead of messing with a breed which shouldn't be shy or fearfull at all.

One last thought...if one preferes such dogs, please respect their traits, their fear, their well-being and ACT ACCORDINGLY!! Don't bring them into situations which aren't bearable for them - or at least have the guts to end such sits as soon as one becomes aware of their stressed behavior, please!
...and don't call them CwD if they aren't CwD...
