Over the years I’ve had really good shy dogs…

I still agree with my statement years later. Shy dogs are culls

This thread makes me think about a Walker female I raised in the 70's, Her dam was House's Chief's daughter and she was sired by Gann's Finisher. My 6-year-old daughter named her Ginger after Ginger on Gilligan's Island because she was red-headed. When Ginger was about 2 months old I bought a house that needed remodeling. So she stayed in the pen until she was about 9 months old. Very little human contact. When I did take her to the woods it took me about an hour to get my hands on her again. This went on for about 5 hunts. Finally, I told my hunting buddy I was going to get rid of her. He told me he would take her to his house and let her run loose. He lived out in the country, I didn't. After a few weeks, she got easy for him to catch. He came to work one day and said he had taken her to the woods and she treed a coon. After that, we started taking her in a boat and shining coons on the bank, and putting her on them. She turned out to be one of the best dogs I ever owned. I kept her until she died. I was always glad I didn't dispose of her. So that's one that was worth spending more time with. I don't think her shyness was genetic, however. It was man-made.

It Genentics

The answer to any complex question is seldom yes or no. Is a dog shy from not being socialized at weaning age?
IS THE DOG SHY OR CAUTIOUS?
Highly intelligent dogs will not come up to someone they don't know! Would you instruct your grandchildren to hug every stranger at the mall?
Some of the best dogs that I've seen bonded with their owner at 8 to 10
weeks and would not accept a new owner until after they were trained.
THE HIGHER THE IQ OF A DOG, THE LESS MISTAKES BY THE OWNER OR HANDLER THEY WILL TOLERATE.

Some among us should always pick low IQ dogs. No offense intended.
