and on the other hand I have had several dogs that were stand offish that after hunting them they became alot friendlier. It gave them a bond to me, giving them a job!
x2...
Also, as a little kid I had a few dogs that were not shy but did not like to be petted or handled. one of these dogs would get two gentle pats on his side and I would just say good boy and that was it.
any more than that and you got a low rumble from deep down in his chest. He was a good hunting dog and he was strictly business and kept to himself...
seems we always have different opinions but that is what makes the world go round and round...keeps it interesting
