Well there are a lot of LGD breeds in many different countries and in most of them that "testing" thing doesen´t exist. Still they are great LGD´s and fight wolves and other predators with the same fierceness, dedication and effectiveness as those of the balkans and caucasus. I don´t think that LGD´s need to be tested, they´ll show what they´re made of when needed. They don´t need to be champion fighters or to fight a wounded wolf to be effective guards. It flows in their veins.
