I do not agree: some owners do not publish HD results on this site because they do not like or do not agree or do not care of the !owners" of the site(again, personal matters)
Not necessariliy somebody who doesn't like or care for Wolfdog.org is a bad breeder...

I assure you I do not DEFEND in any way Edit, she doesn't need me to defend or accuse her.
I do not always agree on some of her breeding choice and she knows it.
I have my own strong opinion about Character, Bonitation, HD, inbreeding, bloodline, Work, and I have built my opinion speaking and absorbing info (positive and negative) from many many breeders, visiting there homes.
I assure you I have visited the kennel of many of them.
Nobody is perfect, but from character/Hd point of view in general (not specifically about CW) I feel I agree with you.
A good CSWolfdog should stand proud, straight next to his owner and not hide like a mouse.
It is very difficult for a breeder with MANY dogs to make wolfdogs with good characters, because the time they have to dedicate to all is very small.
That's why I personally think if somebody wants to take a dog from a "big" breeder (big in quantity, not in quality ), then take it away from kennel as soon as possible.
I can make you a list of breeders (and some you know VERY well...) with many many dogs, and most do not have very brave dogs.
Shyness is surely a NEGATIVE characteristic of this breed.
Owners must work very hard to have a manageable dog.
I am satisfied with my dogs, coming from "big" kennels, but I worked hard on them.
