Hi mijke,
thanks for your comments but maybe I wasn't clear enough and brought you slightly out of thread.
I didn't ask "what do you look for as most important in a CSW".
I personally have a special feeling for a male I know personally which is maybe the most wolfish CSW around...BUT because of his character i wouldn't ever want one of his sons...
For me health and Character are MORE important that looks, no doubt.
I was concentrating on "large/tall" or "small/short".
However you mentioned something for me very important:

And for a CsW is for me important: wolfish/powerfull/elegant/strong but light moving

LIGHT MOVING
isn't it so difficult to find "large" csw but LIGHT MOVING??
Perfect proportions allow a dog to have light movement, just like wolves. If you ever saw wolves in real life or on documentaries, they seem to float on the ground, swiftly and magically, and prey can't even detect them from very near.
A dog with a large chest or too long body looks clumsy when he walks and is far away from being elegant...
