The CSV as therapy dog

Sorry Guys, but you haven't convinced me. The argument that something is OK because other people do it is not valid for me: having been an academic teacher for many years in Poland and in the UK, I'd heard it ever so often!

Neither the benefits for the breed PR appeal to me - but this is probably just a matter of priorities! (Per Olav, I understand your detremination in the breed promotion and will help you with the webpage if only you wish, despite my doubts.

)

Besides, I want to stress, that my views are not the views of all Polish people as opposed to Czech or Norwegian, but my own, personal opinions. I can assure you that you can find all sorts of articles in Polish magazines which does not mean that everything that's written or shown in them is accepted by everybody. Mirka, do Czech journalists really believe that people have the same attitude to something just because it was published?

(This is just a joke, of course, so take no offence)

One more question to Ela: I've read somewhere that dogs that were trained for defense are formally not allowed to work in dogotherapy. Is that true? Because I remember seeing photos of Amber being defense trained. Or am I mistaken? I know that Amber is exceptionally amicable and sweet, but wasn't that a formal obstacle towards his certification?

This is just a plain question asked out of curiosity, so don't treat it as an attack on Ela, please.
