Hard one to answer for sure when all scenarios, traits & rearing techniques are only 100% known by you.
Also depends on if you have or are willing to put the time & money in with the possible end result being the same anyway.
I have had two dogs (both female) in my packs that have been similar. Yes, they were tightly bred so an out cross has been made to try eliminate that trait that appears 1 in 20 times from this gyp.
-The first timid one (still hasn't relaxed) hunted real well but was sometimes difficult to get back on the ute or bike because of timidness (would cower at a raised voice).... She was recently speyed & given to a family friend as a guard/family pet on a small farm.
She is already doing fantastic & has settled well. She is 2.5yrs old.
- The second one was 12months old last week. She was also culled last week. She was bred as a future replacement for one of my older gyps. Initially i
thought i got it right with my plans. ie - Bred to be taller, slightly deeper in the chest but keeping the same natural prey drive resulting in a fantastic work ethic....Well, she was timid from about 8weeks old which i thought i could get past. I was careful not to reprimand her whilst young beside the normal scruff of the neck shake. She was very loyal & quite aggressive towards other dogs in the yard. Unfortunately, when she decided not to come when doing the wrong thing she would lay and cower in the paddock for hours, she would find a hog no probs but as soon as another dog arrived she would leave it & if she saw me arrive with the rifle she would dissapear a hundred yards away.....
She wasn't showing any signs of improvement with one on one work or pack work....She bacame a CULL
