'One Person' dog, or family-oriented?

I don't know that you CAN really know what to expect... They have very unique relationships with those they consider "pack"... I also think a lot depends on the nature of the relationships they have with their people... for instance, I do most of the training, so both the vlcaks respect and respond to me as boss. My husband walks and feeds them and they like him, too, but very differently.
My girlfriend Siobhan co-owns Pongo and he goes there every other week to stay with her. He gets away with a lot more "naughty" behavior here, but not there and will not even attempt it.
Luna is NOT snuggly at all, though she will smooch me when she can. Pongo LOVES to snuggle and smooch.
CsVs are SO unique as individuals, they are not supposed to be noisy, but Luna is as barky as a Sheltie, while Pongo is quiet as a mouse.
But they are fun and interesting and incredibly bright. My only warning to those who are not vlcak owners already - LEARN DOG LANGUAGE!
