NO. The CzW puppies are very open, prying and self-confident. But on the condition that they will be adequately socialized by the breeder.
Most of the puppies are born in the winner. They stay in the kennels for the whole time without the contact with people, dogs, aso. Most of them see the breeder only during the feeding time. Such puppies are shy and reserved. And sometimes they stay shy for the whole lifetime.

If you will find a good breeder, you will also get a good puppy (at least concerning the character).
