CzW breeding in France (work vs. show)

Hey all,

I have tryed to follow this post...

I am from France, and i want to give you some precision.

The most people in France, whom are working dog lovers, will respect standard and give CWs working activity, in the respect of law or in french breeding club decision.

Here in France, some breeders will never train CWs in defense...
But it doesn't concern all breeders !!!

The most of breeders here are convinced that we must increase socialization and training (obedience) for CWs living in France, in order to establish stable caracter.
French breeding commitee, recently officially validated, thought about since the first meetings.

French Breeding commitee would plan several actions :
- preparing an information document support to new CWs owner to explain them CWs caracteristic and a social needs,
- actions to make possible a better selection mixing good caracter and excellent morphology,
- actions to increase breeder information exchange to help them in their selection

But ALL this actions will reach their objectives rapidly with the support of breeders and expert in the native country of the CWs.

The other problem is the french law about "dangerous animals" which concerns in fact dog used as guard dog (like Rottweiler, Tosa, Pittbull).

In future, this law will be harder and harder...

So, because CWs is a recent breed in France, most a person in SCC and Breeding Club think that we must be very prudent before accepting CWs in defense activity.

Imagine can accident here in France with CWs trained as deffese dog. People will only see that accident as a "dog like wolf" accident, and media (press, television) will take the opportunity af making good audience...

For conclusion, the CWs risk to be classed as "dangerous like dog"... You imagine the disaster for the breed !

I have Rottweiler and i work in obedience and defense too.

I am sad of this situation for CWs, but i understand this reserved attitud for Cws as defense dog.
And for now, it's a intelligent decision !

For conclusion, please find some photos about my dog... Most of people thought at the beginning that it just be a show dog with wolf like behaviour...

They are wrong... as me, because, with a few working period (few days), not with me (i am not very good in this area...), we discovered a dog with a real working potential !

I want to inform that the INSTRUCTOR and CONDUCTOR of my dog, Ar'wan de la Mollynière de Lo'Scale, is M. Lionel MARTINEZ, well known french instructor for rottweilers.

M. Lionel MARTINEZ is part of the Mollynière de Lo'Scale TEAM BREEDING, and all the working stage was did in the breeding facility near Paris....

So this breed station, as others in France, are working with their CWs.

But for now, see photos above obedience and tracking !
