The CSV a working breed - how do I understand the codes

[mijke]

Hi Pavel,
On distance I follow this interesting discussion. And I agree with your
opinion.
That's also why I asked before if you can see a difference in CsW type
between "working" and "show" dogs (as you unfortunately can see in other
breeds)

It's a pity that your country is to far away for me, so I can't follow a
training there. But in future I'll sure come for some competitions!
For now I train basical obedience and search for all kind of other ways to
work with my dog. But it is difficult to find it and certainly when you want
to train with other CSw!
I think it is always better to dó something with your dogs (even when it
isn't a official training and even when you don't want to go to
competitions) So we start also training with friends with other dogs for
waterworking and search people. (and our Csw likes it!) And when there is a
little bit of snow we also start with pulling sledge. On this moment there
is no snow here, but our dog alreaydy got used to a harness!
So I think it's also possible to work when you can't find a special
training.

By the way, it strikes me that a lot of trainers in Holland have the same
tedious opinion about a Csw: "That isn't a workingdog. You can't train
them, spare the trouble to try it." But I notice what you do with these dogs
in your country. And I am "self-willed" and like to prove the opposite!
