I got a cur pup 6 months old that I kept off a litter of 10 pups. 8 of the pups that I got rid of are no problem. The male I kept and a female I gave to MrsLouisianaHogDog  Do Not  like to be touched.
They are not skid dish. They are happy, tail waggin, follow you anywhere dogs. They won't run off on you, They just don't want to be touched. When it comes time to put mine up , I open the kennel door
and walk in first and he follows me in waggin his tail. He comes to me when I call him but right out of
touching range. If I do want to handle him, I'll step towards him and he will lay down waggin his tail.
Never had a dog that just hates being touched. I started walking him on a lead and he's doing fine. I'm trying treats to get him to come ALL THE WAY to me but the jury is still out on that. Maybe
MrsLouisianaHogDog can comment on her female pup. I didn't mean to hijack your thread but I figured
I could relate to your dilemma.
