Hello Vicky,
CSW are clearly above avarage level in all disciplines that need a dog that understands what the work is about. They normally also like to do all kinds of nosework. They are very good in all kind of rescue work as long as you have a trainer that is able to leave old tracks and can adjust his training to the individual dog. They get easily bored when they can´t see any sense in the things you are doing but they can be of extremly high endurance in work they like. To work with you in a team is something they love very much and will do till exhaustion if you are a good owner and trainer.
They will do things like obedience and IPO if you ask them to but you will find it difficult to keep them motivated to do the same exercise over and over again, because they learn so very quickly and get bored very fast. And if we are honest there is not much sense for a dog in the obedience or IPO routine.
