Typical temperament of CsWs

When talking with breeders and owners of pups (or reading some posts on WD

) I sometimes hear that "my dog" or "this litter" has great character/s. Sorry, but it alwyas makes me smile. At what age, in your opinion, guys, should the character of a dog be assessed, so that the evaluation would make sense - say something about a particular dog, and not of its potential? Within my limited experience I'd say - when the dog is at least 2,5 - to three years, but maybe some of you have other views?

I'm not talking about the character as assessed by the "prepared" Czech bonitation character test, because just like Ina - I don't think much of it.

, but of the general character of the dog as displayed in everyday life - in the streets, among crowds of people, with visitors, among other dogs at trainings etc. etc.
