A courageous dog is a dog that has been traumatized and is able to fight its fears and eventually recover from the traumatizing event.
A dog with good nerves (and a good handler) is never traumatized by the event in the first place.

Good to see this thread not just fade away,
If you can run, but choose to fight exibits courage. I agree to a degree.
In case of a well trained dog who has had encouragement and confidence instilled in him, he chooses to fight even though he has the option of flight, this is courage. I agree to a degree.
A dog with good nerves( and a good handler) is never tramatized by the event in the first place. I agree in part, only exception is a dog of real courage the handler would have no inluence in the dog. If the handlers influance determend the dogs degree of courage than the dogs courage would be based on codependancy. In other words his intellect. Again there is a differance between courage based on intellect verses real courage which is only based on genetics. You can take any dog with little courage and improve on it to a degree by building confidence in the dog and training. Many people see agression as courage, which is absolutely false. And that has led many people to assume that all dogs of a high degree of agression is a dog of great courage, That is absolutely false, that is nothing but a fault that should eliminated in your breeding program . And let me say I'm not talking about drives in a dog. I am talking about unprovoked agression. A dog will and should be calm and confident in not a few but every circumstance including fight. Sometimes staying to die is a lack of courage. Staying to win is a act of real courage.
