In another thread, people were wondering how the term 'civil' came about to describe a dog that has active fight/defense drives and will engage for real came about. Have to admit I've wondered about it myself. Anyone know?

He is very very nice.....fearless and will attempt anything. Will go anywhere. Just got back from Petsmart with him and he tried to take over the place. Nothing bothered him, floor, people, or other dogs. Never raised hair in back one time and never has submissively peed one time. I think I like him. :crazy: But to stay on topic, this is a pup that the civil drive is very close to surface, its just his nerve is so strong the threshold is high.
