Hammonds bred bulldogs

I do believe shyness can be hereditary just as not socializing can also contribute...I don't know much about bull dogs but I do like them very well...if I had the place and resources that would be the second breed of dogs in my kennels that I would keep a breeding program with...

With certain line of cur dogs some pups tend to be shy and lots of socialization at a very young age will help tremendously...At about 2 weeks of age I will toss and keep an old sweaty t-shirt in their doghouse and switch it out after a week or so they can smell me close by 24/7...even then those that are naturally shy will grow up just fine but they do not require a heavy had and they usually will take a while to hunt for a new owner...some tend to make awesome hunting dogs so a good reason why some are bred, thus more of the same...some folks say too much inbreeding causes some of that in some instances but I can't say one way or another on that one...
