The majority of questions we get in our inbox lately are: How is a WSS in temperament? How they typicaly behave?
First of all, each and every dog is unique, individual with its own personality. But of course individuals inside the breed have common characteristics! ?
Which one are typical for a WSS?
When answering this question I like to quote the WSS FCI standard:
“Lively and balanced temperament, enjoys action, attentive with good ability to be trained. Friendly and discreet. High social competence and devoted to his owner. Never afraid or aggressive without provocation. A joyful and easy to teach working and sporting dog with capability for all round education. High social competence allows for a marked ability to adapt and integrate to all kinds of social events and situations.”
And if you ask us, this is how a typical WSS should be and this is our goal when breeding. WSS owners, do you agree?
