The CSV a working breed - how do I understand the codes

[Minna]

Hi,

I hope that we don't need working titles to our CsVs in order to prevent
banning the breed in any countiers. There are so many breeds that are not so
called working dogs and they aren't on any banned lists, because they are
not aggressive. However, many so called working dog breeds are on those
lists (take for example the Rottweiler), because these breeds are
successfully bread to work as a weapon ... and then when these dogs are in
the wrong hands accidents happen.

What I really like in CsVs are not the GSD characteristics, but the other
ones. They are wonderful and very clever dogs, much more interesting than
any "normal" working dog breed. And every real dog freak can still learn
from them about dog's behaviour. I am much more afraid that the CsV ends up
to be just another GSD.

With this I didn't mean that we should not work with CsVs. My dogs can all
basic obedience and my male dog is pretty good at tracking. But I would not
like to train my dogs to be the same (sorry to say) stupid robots that so
many other dogs are. I would not be proud of the dog that only wants to
please me without using its own head. What I really respect in my dogs are
these qualities that they for example don't want to play with some stupid
ball all the time - they need more intelligent games. Too many GSDs I know
are only running after a ball or defending their toys from other dogs or
from other people while outside and they can't or don't want to play with
other dogs anymore. Would it be sad if CsVs turned out to be like that - to
me it would mean a total loss of their intelligence.

What comes to running 20 or 40 km, I think it is a good idea. How many
breeds are able to do this now a days? At least it would show that CsVs
still can run and are healthy.

What I really love in my dogs is that they are not overly anything (not
overly protective, not too keen on playing and so on) but so extremely
many-sided and clever.
