Mijke is absolutely right. CSV love work, that's how they were 'made' - if one deprives them of the possibility to work, (whatever is understood under this term), they feel useless and suffer. I know an archeologist who takes his CVS with him whenever he works outdoors. My Tina taught herself how to act a 'geologist's dog' just by accompaning my husband in his reserach field trips... She also fetches slippers, newspapers, carries sticks, etc. She ran by the bike until she was nearly 13, etc. Even now we have to organise her "duties"
, otherwise she gets bored & frustrated and nibbles the fur on her legs
But remember Frank, that no dog should practise intense running (endurance runs) before the joints (hips and elbows) are checked against HD and ED. If it turns out that she has C or more, running might ruin her health. But such dog can still "work" - can do tracing, obedience etc. Not necessarily to pass exams but just for fun, out of genuine need and to build trust between him and the owner.
And if the owner says he/she has no time for such activities? - well, what was the sense of buying such dog, in the first place? He should have bought a yorksire terrier, keep it in his pocket and have plenty of time
