Wow those Caucasians just posted are really SUPERB.
I will be lic to judge them next year in UKC and those are BIS dogs..
What I see is "marked" sexual differences in standard for the CO.
Males have to be MALEEESSS , for a breeder some of the females above are
very doggie which can help in breeding . Even thou some judges want a female to look like a female. I want a doggie female every 3 generations so not to lose, head type and bone and size like the original CO pic.
Regards to the muzzle OC spirit you are correct having a muzzle around can be helpfull if a dog gets injured and you need to take the dog to the 911 Vet.
I got a few years ago never used them and putting them on ebay this week.
But "needing" one to walk down a city street is no correct for any LGD.
I used to use a halti lead for the one fear aggressive CAS I own.
Now she is fine..
The breed should protect and they cant protect muzzled..
