Just to clarify, I am not blaming the pedigree, which is respectable. It just seems everyone else has a super stable dog, with solid nerves. I was hoping to learn how were these solid dogs as puppies. Did they have rock steady nerves as pups, or did that develop later.

Update: At 12 weeks he is fine with strangers, may bark at them but is quite friendly if they wish to come and get greeted and licked. With other dogs, I notice he is quite gruff in his bark (though without hackles). Planning to wait for a week or two before I try to introduce him to a friendly dog.

Gorgeous pup!! He'll probably be just fine as your update is positive. Don't push him.

Final update for those who commented: Could't wait, took him to a puppy class at Petco at about 12 weeks age, he was fine after meeting 2 dogs in about 15 min, with or without leash. After meeting the 3rd dog he was playing with the pups and even trying to be playfully nippy with them. Looks like the problem is solved !.

I would agree with melba on the pee issue,while i never like to see it, several factors can be involved,sometime genectics,some can be more of a reflex than a fear response,some grow out of it and some do not.

You have some strong nerved dogs on your pups pedigree. Line breeding looks good. I only saw a few dogs on the females side that I'm not familiar with enough to say that you should have a dog with all the nerve you'll ever need. You have some of the hardest dogs you'll ever find on that pedigree. Nothing is 100%, but your pretty close.
