Friendly behavior in a GSD is learned behavior. It has nothing to do
with some intrinsic weakness in the dog. In different circumstances
the dog might develop into an aloof animal. A dog should be trained
to not jump up and kiss a judge but a dog that loves the ring and is
having fun might just wag it's tail when going through this artificial
procedure. The temperament test was meant to test for shyness not be
an evaluation of the intrinsic nature of the dog. Jim Barnhart
