My old bitch was as timid as you like, would only ever come to me , around other people shed scrat to get away from them etc, real timid. But in the field different bitch all together , she liked Charlie's also she take em by the scruff and hold em Til I got there. She never could finish them though but that didn't bither me. She was a collie grey, seen a few that are quite timid tbf over the years
