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.

I think now we must clear what is a shy puppy
We make litter previews at
our kennel club and sometimes we have "normal" litters. Every puppy has a
little bit different character but all have no problems with contact with
strangers. But sometimes we have litters with one or two "autistic" pups
(last time it was bichon friese). Such puppy is not walking away or biting
of course what is normal for older dogs. But there is very hard to contact
with it, imposible to play with it, and it is always less courageous - it is
always looking for a safe place where it can "hide" (kennel, crate, ....)
And
if the new owner has no idea how to train such dog and how to work with
it, after it grows up, it will be shy...
There are some great tests for puppies - if the result for one puppy will be
"better keep your hands off this dog" it will be later exactly a shy
dog.....
