I don't think the Saarloos has the right temperament, he is difficult to train and gets bored easily. You can teach a few tricks and commands very succesfully but they can get easily fed up with a task when they can't see the point in doing it. They also seem to have many wolf characteristics in the breed including shyness of strangers, fear of new things etc.

I have two Saarloos but the Cwds I have met are much more 'willing' and open, I think the Cwd is probably an easier dog to live with and to enjoy trainning with. What does anyone else think?
