I was having a discussion with a guy who had a Vizsla/Lab mix (interesting looking dog actually) who was very timid. He said it is a Vizsla breed trait. I have seen a few Vizslas before and some have been and some have been just as bold as Sal.
That got me to thinking. How much of Boldness or Timidness is by breed (I am a Nuture guy) I always thought Timidness is a sign of poor socialization or abuse more than breed.
If it is breed, why would anyone breed for Timid dogs? Or is it just a flaw that follows some breeds more than others like Hip problems?
What do you think?
