I wish more people would socialize and play with their cur dogs as pups. I've meet too many that are skittish shy and take over 10 mins just to catch. These dogs were never abused physically or verbally just seems like they were left in a kennel and not handled until they were a year old and now they act like a wild coyote. You don't want them so familiar with you that they always stay close and are wanting to look to you to see what they need to be doing but for petes sakes at least play with them enough that they aint afraid of a human and have somewhat of a handle.
You can love on catch dogs as much as you want!
I've seen plenty of dogs that are like that, but most of them are just genetically skittish. It doesn't matter how much attention you give them, thats just how they are.
