It´s me, Ina not Michael.
I know CSW since 1997 and I know several hundreds of them in different countries.
You don´t almost see any genetically shy dog nowadays in Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Germany, Poland. I have seen dogs from France and Italy and Belgium all of them not shy.
In the past it was very funny that the same lines weren´t shy in the countries of origin but in Germany. It was simply the owners fault. We changed a lot of things, we talked to people and nowadays even normal judges that have seen the breed from it´s beginning in Germany come to us and tell us that there has been an enormous improvement.

Most people train the dog to do this action. This doesn't make the brave dog, but you get used to do and train a specific action.
The Czechoslovakian wolfdog isn't born brave, not usually ...
We will train you to be!

This doesn´t seem to be a person with much knowledge of normal dog behaviour or training. And braveness could be called stupidity in that behalf.
If you see so many shy dogs in your place you should go to other places and look how the dogs of the same origin behave there. If they behave different it´s a problem of people not dogs.
And if you see Wolfcrosses and Saarloos as no problem in this breed because they are soooo beautifull then I can tell you that those animals are extremely often genetically shy and their offspring is quite likely to become shy. This is one of the main reasons why people want the dogs out of illegal crossings banned out of the breed. They destroy their working ability and charakter.
And they give a totally wrong impression of the breed and attrack people that are getting CSW for their wolfish looks and see this kind of charakter as normal for this breed. It is not!
