Default Shy wolfdogs

I heard of cwd litters also all good, but one shy. What do you think should a
breeder do with such a puppy? Should you cull/euthanize such a puppy or
keep it yourself? I don't think it should be sold, because it is bad for the
breed and the new owner will face problems that he cannot help.
I dont know, which experience have other breeders or owners, but I must say,
that I never seen and heard about such case. Yes, of course, the puppies just
born with different character, but really shy puppy I never seen. Less
courageous puppies are quite normally. My experience is (not only with my
puppies), then 8 weeks shy puppy is 100% fault of breeder (no socialisation).
And its the reason as well to pick up the puppy from breeder soon as possible.
In 5th week can new owner just correct all eventually faults of socialisation
very easy, but every week later is it more and more complicated.
And the problem with euthanasy - according Czech law (and I mean, that most of
EU countries the same) can be using euthanasy only by puppies, which have some
very seriously defects. Means physicaly defects, not character. All other using
euthanasy is a criminal.
