Booboo
Why do you think that the dog does not have a strong character?
He reminds me of an inner city gang leader who gets to the top by his constant preparedness tp push every competitor out of the way.
This dog certainly felt like he could overpower a human just by what he is prepared to do to get his own way.
And BM ..Ma said that Collin Haus Ming was one of the toughest and most dominant dogs he bred.

Mithuna there are so many breeders who tell they bred the most tough hardest dog in the world...........

Let me tell you this what I believe the dog is so good as his offspring he has produced
This is much more important.

There are so many of them who dont, reproduced themself in their offspring

on different females.

difficult dog does not equal tough dog. A difficult dog owns you. Life is too short to share it with a dog which only complicates your life.

The dog is miserable. They are pack animals and he needs leadership . Slap on a muzzle and do fair OB with corrections and rewards. Some dogs you have to be careful during corrections not to over stimulate so prongs and standard choke chains can actually stimulate too much. He needs a calm handler. With this he can shine.

What a sad state of affairs for this poor dog; shame on the humans who this poor dog crossed paths with. Truly a "F" up.

In all those years I've only ever come across one dog that was difficult to manage. He wasn't the strongest dog, but he had no off switch and an insane amount of hunt drive. He destroyed furniture while hunting for balls. He ate the kitchen floor, the decking outside in the sunroom, and was screaming in his crate during feeding hours. The only way to manage this dog was crating him while we had him. With time he got a little more tolerable but he was the most difficult dog that I have ever had to manage.

Where are the opinions of persons like Herby, Prager and Gee?

While genetics are unavoidable sometimes in setting a dog's characteristics, and environment makes its own claims to form the present dog, the current owner would do well to honor Susie's advice, to not present the energy of pity and expect a good result or fix.

This is especially relevent to the destructiveness of separation anxiety.

I need you to break this down a bit. M im still waiting to hear from Prager, Gee, and Herby.
