There are a lot of good skittish dogs. We've got one that I like a lot. Just bred to him and I got a little female off of him that's pretty good. He's a very good animal himself.

 

I was wondering the same thing. I have one now Im working on getting to come around. Lol She's making very good progress with just alil TLC.

 

my line of dogs throw skittish that love to work

 

I've had some skittish dogs turn into AMAZING dogs. Takes some work but they can definitely gain some confidence. My first girl was REALLY skittish, and by the time she was five, most people couldn't believe it when I told them what a sensitive girl she was in her earlier years. She definitely ''came into her own'' so to speak. lol

 

Oh my goodness. I have a little female that is sooooo skittish with people she doesn't know. Loves her own family dearly and is ultra sweet with pups not even her own, but cannot stand a stranger for anything.
Bites like a bear and will scratch on males or females don't matter a lick.
She will turn cartwheels in the air to get at another dog.

 

my dog is skittish (its great when it comes time for punishment cuz i just have to yell) wont go to anyone he doesnt know... just today my brother in law went and my backyard and the dog was running away from him and barking (he was on a chain) *laughing*... i say atleast no one could steal him...

 

I dont like a skittish dog. I will feed one if Im happy with it other than its skittishness, but its not a trait I like in the breed. I like an out going dog.

 

i was asking from a historical perspective. i've found skittish dogs arent easily stolen and they protect better. not sayin i prefer them but i've had a few and they had some advantages. can anyone think of anymore well known dogs that were skittish?

 

I feel ya I have a teratorial one that aint NOOOOO one stealing lmao... I feel sorry for the sucker who trys. I dont perfer this trait in my bulldogs nether but it does provide some comfert liveing in the city knowing he wont be stold. So I understand what you are saying.

 

they also tend to alarm back at least in my experience which scares people off or lets me know when someone is on my property. depending on an individuals circumstance this may or may not be a good thing.

 

i just got a skittish dog but she is only skittish 2 ppl she dosnt know but as time gose by she will get use to ppl

 

my pup is a little skiddish he doesnt like people he doesnt kno wont come up to anyone outside the family unless "formally" introduced

 

would u say some dogs throw scary? or would u link it to the pups grow'n up with little human cantact? i would think that if u can get them young and loose the whole skittishness then that wasnt a bread trait. :confused:

 

its thrownin certain lines for sure. It can also be due to events or the upbringin of the dog ie lack of human contact. i relly just wanted to see some titled skittish dogs

 

and the say Struthers Gr Ch Luther was afraid of his own shadow but he'd rip ur whole chest plate loose... they called it the Luther Flop!!
