So it sounds like her shyness comes from the bottom quarter of her ped, maybe just the bottom eighth. It's nice to know where some of her ancestors came from and how they acted. It's even nicer still being able to here it from "the horses mouth", and that being you in this case. I didn't pick her up from TLK's yard and have never been there but I did know that it is a large yard and I chalked up her shyness to the fact that you brought up, with a large yard like that it's hard to show the one on one that you can in a small yard situation. And that's what I have right now, a small yard, and she gets a lot of one on one attention here and is doing well in this situation.
I'm glad to hear that Oreo was a good brood gyp and never lost a pup, that's one thing that most of us can really appreciate if you've had one that is a terrible mother. Makes for a stressful situation to say the least so hopefully Luna caries that trait, if she's bred.
I've read and commented on some of your stories that you've shared with us on here but I can surely bet you have some history lessons stored in that brain of yours lol. I'd love to be a fly on the wall when the "good ol days" are talked about amongst you and your friends. I'm a younger guy (31) that just so happened to be born in the wrong dog era lol.

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...

Training dogs is not about quantity, it's more about timing, the right situations, and proper guidance...After that it's up to the dog...
A hunting dog is born not made...

I believe shyness is a hereditary thing also. It didn't get in the way of the dogs doing there job but it was something I tried to breed away from.

I got my ADBA magazine the other day and noticed Gary Hammonds was advertising a beautiful Hammonds/LeBlanc dog at stud. I have seen the dog a number of years ago and he is flashy and has caught hogs as well as being a show Champion. His bottom side is the Tindall blood down from Ms. LeBlanc's blood.

B. Cornetts dog out of Ch Hop Scotch (the dog advertised in the mag at stud) is dead now.
His friend owns CH Hop Scotch and I own the dam to B. Cornetts' dead dog.

Gallagher's CH. Hop Scotch is at stud at Catch Dog Enterprises. He is an exceptional animal and his first litter put a couple really good dogs on the ground. He is the sire to the dog B.Cornett posted. He was killed by a rank 250lb boar. RIP.
